Bohemian Rhapsody

Just saw this at the $2 movie.

I recommend it in the theatre if you can still catch it for the experience.

I don't know about the accuracy of the story/plot devices, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

They took some liberties with the story, but I agree it’s a solid movie. Definitely watch it with premium sound, whether that’s in a theater or in your home.

My wife almost worried me to death to take her to see it. She was/is a huge Freddie Mercury fan. I watched a documentary about Freddie’s life a couple of weeks before seeing the movie. The movie is solid and followed the life and times of Freddie Mercury and Queen pretty accurately. It was a very good movie, and seeing/hearing it in the theater is definitely a must. The actor who played Freddie did an admirable job-he’s not an “A-lister” by any means, but I thought he was great. Have you ever started watching a movie and start trying to figure out what role you saw one of the actors played in something you saw previously? I saw the guy playing Freddie and knew I had seen his obscure *** before in something. I finally figured out where it was. He was in a movie with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts called “Larry Crowne” from a few years back. He had a role as a student in that movie-nothing memorable at all. I’m sure he’s done other things in his career, but that’s the only time I’ve ever seen him. I only say this because he really was very good in his portrayal of one of the most complex characters in music industry history. I definitely recommend the movie. It was very good. My wife thought it was great. I only know this because she “thanked” me for escorting her to see it later that evening-several times, in fact lol. I can’t guarantee that any of you guys will have a similar experience but I guarantee you that if you are/we’re a fan of Queen that you will find this flick to be very entertaining.

Thankfully, the Borat as Freddie Mercury project fell through. I think we all owe Brian May gratitude for that abomination dying.

Rami Malek. He was in The Pacific and he stars in Mr. Robot. He was great as Mercury.

Well, I’m game. When’s your wife available to go again? You don’t by chance live in Reunion do ya?

Mr. Robot is one of the best shows on cable TV.
