I just came in from seeing it. I loved it! It was excellent! Some very funny lines too. I cried in the end though. Very sad.

What a BIG personality Mercury was. Had no idea his family were Indian and were Zoroastrian. Or about Mary Austin.

Going to catch a nice buzz and take my firework girls to see this.They have yet to see it and are in their 20's,so I'm hoping it gives them a little appreciation of why the old man raves about certain music like I do.

I saw this Saturday night with Mrs. B. I thought it was terrific. I have several musical bio pics I like: Buddy Holly Story with Gary Busey, La Bamba with Lou Diamond Phillips, Ray with Jamie Foxx, Get on Up with Chadwick Boseman, and this one with Rami Malek. While I was watching the movie, I kept thinking about the guy cast as the bass player and kept thinking, "Where have I seen him?" He's Joe Mazzello from the WWII series "The Pacific." He played Sledgehammer, and Rami Malek was Snafu. So cool that they're in this film, with lead and supporting roles reversed this time. Also the guy who plays the EMI record exec who says Bohemian Rhapsody would never be a hit is Mike Meyers, who brought the song back to a new generation in Wayne's World. Also, the original director bailed out on the movie and the guy they brought in, Dexter Fletcher, played Sgt John Martin in the WWII series "Band of Brothers." I thought that was cool. Malek was unbelievable as Freddie. I think he deserves an oscar.

He was the little kid in the original Jurassic Park, too.

The last 20 or 30 minutes was epic.

They could've made the whole movie about their Live Aid performance and I still would've gone to see it.

Best Actor and Best Motion Picture at the Golden Globes tonight.

great movie, Rami deserved the win, though I thought ASIB overall was the better picture.

Agreed. I'm kind of shocked that Gaga didn't get Best Actress. I figured she was a shoe-in.

I won’t go as far as saying I didn’t like a Star is born, but I wasn’t a big fan of any of the other versions either and it didn’t break any new ground for me at all. I loved Bohemian Rhapsody, but I know that comes with 35+ years of Queen fanaticism so I didn’t expect awards for the movie. For me in 2018, Blackklansman is without a doubt the best picture. It is a masterpiece of this era.
