@science_Hooker: I rarely cry in public. I went to see #BohemianRhapsody today. I thought it looked ok, meh, perhaps some humour. This is the best movie I have seen in a very very long time. This movie is immense. Perfect. Moving. Funny. Real. Brave. And left me crying. Go see it. twitter.com/Science_Hooker/status/1058052454896619521

Not sure if someone like Adam would get "intentionally shelved" as in point #5 of "5-reasons-never-to-sign..." - I think he is not generic enough for that. However, this excerpt from reason #3 really made me wonder: "...A product that 'isn’t for everybody' is a marketers dream… …and a major record labels worst nightmare." Could Adam be stuck in the middle? I really hope it is NOT record label politics that are preventing Adam's music from being released. If the jack--s from RCA is back and throwing up road blocks to release of new music - the guy is a moron because there is a huge fan base waiting to buy it. I have a feeling that it IS label politics, but I have no doubt that things will work out eventually - most artists seem to be going through this type of stuff, except for very few. I often wonder though how an artist can stay inspired and creative when the business side seems to be overshadowing everything. Really good to know that Adam keeps recording and creating, and how comforting and reassuring must it be for Adam to have two music icons in Brian and Roger in his life, who have gone through rough patches in their careers as well. I think it should help us all to keep in mind that Adam has done very well for himself so far.

Well, I finally saw the movie this morning. I thought I was going to have to drive an hour to Birmingham, but found out on Friday that it was indeed going to be shown here in my little rural southern town at my local 10 plex AMC theater. My location wasn't listed or linked to in the BoRhap tickets link so I was thrilled to have it playing here. Not only is it playing here, but there were 9 showings today. We, along with 6 other folks, went to the show this morning at 10:30. There were many more cars in the lot when we left, so I hope it drew bigger crowds in the afternoon. Anyway, so glad to have contributed my $8 to the movie grosses. I really enjoyed it. I plan on trying to see it one more time. I thought Rami was great and especially liked him more and more as the movie developed and liked his short hair and mustache look. I thought the Brian character was fantastic....spot on. I thought the Roger character was just OK. There just wasn't enough about each of them including John Deacon. The music was the big star IMO.....loved it. I got tickled at how they used I'm In Love w My Car as kinda a joke/punching bag on a couple of different occasions. I don't know the history behind that song but I love it when Roger sings it on tour. The Paul character made me mad as hell. I liked the actor who played him in Downton Abbey...lol. Guess every story needs a villan. Adam's part went by in a flash....I guess that final look as he entered the bathroom was the "laughable glance"....altho I didn't see anything laughable about it. I kept looking for the scene in the previews where Freddie was on a bed with a male suitor....guess that got cut. There really weren't any love/sex scenes at all. According to this reviewer's YT......several scenes from the trailers and previews were omitted. Somebody in the comments said Rami said there was 40 minutes of footage cut and they are hoping that, along with WWRY and CLTCL from Live Aid will be included in a DVD/bluray extended version. Jesus, bama, $8! Really? $8? I’m in shock here... I know - cost of living differences and all... but more than 100%? sorry for this OT post of desperation....lol... but good you didn’t have to travel to see it!

This movie is immense. Perfect. Moving. Funny. Real. Brave. And left me crying. Go see it. Yep. It moved me more than I thought it would. And I am glad they made it PG13 so that the young ones who may or may not be struggling with their orientation can view the movie and maybe learn something from it. The adults can use their imagination to fill in the blanks if there is a need to do so. Of course the music was outstanding and gave a real feel for what it must have been like for a rock band to start to achieve such worldwide fame. I think it will open up a whole new audience for Queen as well as QAL!

That is what it was for me also at least for the 1 o'clock matinee. The soda and popcorn cost way more than the movie, lol.

LOL......nica....how much was your ticket? I think if I go back for the 4pm show during the week....it'll be $6 something. lol I'm sure the IMAX shows cost more. I didn't eat any popcorn or drink....so I came out good. :D ....good enough to not mind seeing it a second time.
Just found this YT with a full look at the movie book that came out. I knew it wouldn't be there....but I looked at every page in hope to see Dusty at the truck stop.

Viva Mexico! $10.00 in Madison WI but I have a rewards card so I got in for $8.00. Still up there considering I'll be going again this week.
