Just amazing how some loved it and thought it was a great rock movie and some thought it was just OK. Praise for Rami is well deserved. He did go all in. I don't get how they can say the other Queen members resented Freddie. Where the hell did that come from? Haven't seen the film yet obviously but if there was a scene where that was said or implied didn't mean that's the way it was forever. Good Lord! I saw previews of the movie when I went to see A Star Is Born on Sunday, which was great by the way and BR looks fantastic on the big screen! I seem to remember reading somewhere that there were some problems on how the royalties were being shared ... whoever brought a new song to the group got all the royalties, even tho' the others contributed to the final result ... apparently this caused some dissension (maybe Freddie was bringing more initial ideas so he was getting more royalties?), and it was finally agreed that everyone would share equally in the royalties, regardless of their contribution to the end result.

Isn't that the formula for a great one? Either you hate it or you love it? Entertainment Weekly @ew Mixed Bohemian Rhapsody reactions praise Rami Malek's Freddie Mercury as 'fantastic' share.ew.com/ubF0rU0Just amazing how some loved it and thought it was a great rock movie and some thought it was just OK. Praise for Rami is well deserved. He did go all in. I don't get how they can say the other Queen members resented Freddie. Where the hell did that come from? Haven't seen the film yet obviously but if there was a scene where that was said or implied didn't mean that's the way it was forever. Good Lord! I saw previews of the movie when I went to see A Star Is Born on Sunday, which was great by the way and BR looks fantastic on the big screen! It's opening in my area on November 1st and in IMAX too but, just my luck, I'm having surgery on my spine the day before and won't be in any shape to see a movie for a wee bit. I didn't choose Halloween to schedule my surgery. My orthopedic surgeon did and I felt a bit odd asking him to change his schedule so I could see a movie. I'll have to read the reviews from folks here.

Well, that makes sense. I guess that's in the movie or that comment wouldn't have been made.

Not a bad idea for Katy to go from selling music to selling shoes. Jessica Simpson did it and she's a billionaire now. I saw the first ads for Katy's shoe line on QVC today. They're really promoting her shoes and she'll be live on the shows. I believe Jessica's company had a billion dollars in sales but not that she personally was a billionaire. She is very wealthy tho.

I hope Adam gets to do something really great on this special. He's an Elvis natural.
