The more trailers I watched, the worse it looked. I wouldn't watch it in a theater, but I'd order it from Netflix. Some of the moments, that actor morphed right into Elton John.
What is it with rock star biopics lately?
Our elected officials suck so we are looking for escape. Same thing happened in 1980's and fantasy movies/Reagan. Look @ all the superhero/supernatural movies which just happened to come out when Reagan was widening the gap between the rich/poor and ignoring what would become HIV/AIDS while it was still very manageable.
shareBefore TDS there was RDS! The way to manage AIDS was mandatory testing of gay men. Guess who opposed that?
shareAIDS/HIV is spread through blood....which every living thing has.....AIDS/HIV doesn't care what you are.
Charlie Sheen got it from years of sleeping around w out protection--he just got lucky he lasted so long.
Exactly. It was epidemic in the gay community. So let's act like they do with the TSA and NOT focus on the most likely candidates. Insane.
And while a lot of people got thrown out of work at the beginning of the Reagan administration (suppose we could blame Carter, like Obama blamed Bush?), under his administration, the economy eventually was booming. A rising tide lifts all boats. Of course, liberals hate it when Republicans can keep an economy booming, which proves they really don't care about the country or their constituents -- they just want the power.
Rock star biopics are the new big thing, expect to see a few more high profile ones over the coming years, a Boy George movie is now in the works (I bet they call it Karma Chameleon!) , and I wouldn’t be surprised if a David Bowie biopic gets made sooner rather than later.
