What we need is someone, some visionary director, to make a movie specifically deflating this idea.

As long as they sue the production company after, it'll all be worth it.

Possibly, though maybe focus on some tasteful upskirt shots instead.

Most of the reviews on Rottentomatoes for it are pretty glowing.

Gotta balance that male gaze with the moments where men are clutching their balls. Edit: I was referring to the audience, but who knows, it might feature scenes like that!

You can't stop what's coming
Adam Driver has been acting in film for well under a decade and already has credits in movies directed by Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, the Coen Brothers, Spike Lee, Steven Soderbergh, Terry Gilliam, Jim Jarmusch, Clint Eastwood, Jeff Nichols, Noah Baumbach and Shawn Levy, god drat

Adam Driver will you be my best friend.

Also, that Queen movie is not going to be good I feel - they kicked off Sacha Baron Cohen because was wanting to explore the darker side of Freddie Mercury and instead went with a fun and happy angels view of things. At least those are the rumours. We'll see how it turns out.

quote:

Sacha Baron Cohen has revealed he walked away from a high-profile role as Freddie Mercury because the surviving members of Queen wanted a substantial part of the film to focus on them.

Speaking to the US radio host Howard Stern, Baron Cohen said he hoped to present a “warts ‘n’ all” view of the legendary singer’s hedonistic lifestyle, but Mercury’s former bandmates were more concerned with protecting their legacy.

The comedian and actor said: “A member of the band – I won’t say who – said: ‘You know, this is such a great movie because it’s got such an amazing thing that happens in the middle.’”

“And I go: ‘What happens in the middle of the movie?’ He goes: ‘You know, Freddie dies.’ ... I go: ‘What happens in the second half of the movie?’ He goes: ‘We see how the band carries on from strength to strength.’

“I said: ‘Listen, not one person is going to see a movie where the lead character dies from Aids and then you see how the band carries on.’

“There are amazing stories about Freddie Mercury. The guy was wild. There are stories of little people walking around parties with plates of cocaine on their heads!”

But according to Baron Cohen, who is in the US to promote his new film, Grimsby, Queen’s surviving members did not want those stories told: “They wanted to protect their legacy as a band.”

that's the just beginning though. they then hired Bryan Singer who "mysteriously vanished" to help his mom inexplicably right around the time all the #MeToo accusations started happening so they fired him and then hired another guy, and then they pushed the release date up a month.

At the time, Brian May--who has ordained himself the keeper of Mercury's legacy--wanted Mercury to die halfway through the movie and for the rest of it to focus on how the band has survived since his death. Cohen said that was bullshit and walked away.

Reportedly, the movie now ends with the band taking the stage at Live Aid.

That's even worse. :/

It'd be nice if it ended with him singing his last song ever. Even with death approaching his voice was super strong here.

quote:

Upon reaching the final verse, Freddie told May that he had to go and "have a rest", but that he would return later and finish it. After that, Freddie never made it back to the studio, and May sang the last verse on the track.

He died 6 months later.

I feel like there's something a little different about Revenge but I can't put my finger on it just yet. The fact that it's directed by a woman is certainly points in its favor here.

I'm reminded about how they did a documentary about Genesis and sometime-guitarist Steve Hackett was pissed that he didn't get editorial control and that it didn't include all the times he extensively talked about his solo work.


Nobody cares, Steve.

He's incredibly distinct looking, dramatically flexible, and has a badass voice. He also comes off as whip-smart.

That's been in production for so long. I remember reading articles in the NME and Classic Rock about how filming would start "next year" when I was in university which was about 6-7 years ago now.
