It can't make up for my hearing loss, though. I'm near deaf in one ear so I'm a bit similar to George "Porky" Peckham.
How 'bout that, I'm deaf in 2
Bohemian Rhapsody
do you go on the car audio forums ? there is a guy there like that, and he spends BUCKS.
Nah. I never really liked car audio because typically it just hurts my ears with metallic/harsh sounding treble... in such a tight acoustic space it's even more annoying than a metal dome tweeter of a fullsize box speaker placed inside an average domestic/small music listening room, and that I already can't stand so it is why I went for front speakers that use remarkable waveguide ceramic dome tweeters, and also the folded ribbon tweeters of the Airmotiv bi-amped monitors. If you like to truly listen (i.e. not doing anything else whilst listening, and sitting in the sweet spot whilst listening at reference levels of decibels) and you like to listen to quality recordings of piano music, then you'll know you can't follow a single note of the piano if the speakers aren't capable to produce a linear smooth top end frequency response with the kind of proper detail that many would call fatiguing because it lets you hear every tiny distraction that weighs on your ability to remain deeply focused, or 'connected' to the actual music itself.
There's an oldie, but goodie. That was a really good movie.
22 years later and the ending still sucks, but over all yes.

Finally got to see Bohemian Rhapsody -- it was great, I really enjoyed it, since Queen was practically the background music when I was in high school -- when I was 14, I traded a friend of mine at school a 45 of Heart's Magic Man for a 45 of Bohemian Rhapsody. Cue all the millenials going "what's the hell's a '45'?" 
But the movie was a real tear-jerker too, that godawful disease that was so new then, just stealing that great talent away from us. And yes, I think the makeup people did get a bit carried away with his overbite; Freddie definitely had a very pronounced overbite, but it wasn't nearly as pronounced as the actor's in the movie. But that actor definitely nailed the persona, absolutely perfectly.
One review I read talked about how the movie showed his "decadent and depraved lifestyle," but I didn't see anything in the movie that was anymore depraved than anything I was involved in, in the 80s. It WAS the 80s! Sex and drugs and rock n roll!

I can't recall which of you are fellow GoT fans -- any of you that saw Bohemian Rhapsody, recognize the guy that played John Reid? Same guy that played Littlefinger.
And that record co. exec who Freddie said would go down in history as "the guy that lost Queen" -- apparently THAT was Mike Meyers; I didn't recognize him, he's EXTREMELY made up for that role, but my son recognized his voice, said it sounded like Shrek.
I think the guy who played Brian May was the best resemblance in the whole movie. Roger Taylor's actor was also pretty good, but none of them resembled the real person as much as the Brian May actor.

Not a movie, but so very interesting, a 3-hour documentary on YouTube called "Live Aid: Against All Odds," mostly about Bob Geldof and his "personality," and his transition into fund-raising for African relief. Lots of good behind-the-scenes information about the musicians and organizers of Live Aid. Haven't quite finished it yet, but it's on my list for later today. Be aware, though, if you decide to watch it - it's tough on the emotions. There are some absolutely gut-wrenching scenes of tragic situations in Ethiopia. Those scenes, though, are what got Bob involved in the first place, from seeing them on the news at his home. Quite a story, or rather, quite a lot of stories, enlightening.
Freddy won some awards last night at the Oscar's I believe. Aquaman was in a pink suit. Looked like a salmon. I know I know. He could salmon his way up yalls stream anytime. Lmao. Sorry I know I'm crude. But someone has to see the humor in that. LmaoBohemian Rhapsody for the third time, only a thousand more to go....I LOVE that movie

It's growing on me.
Rami won Best Actor in a Leading Role, and the film won three other Oscars for editing and sound.
If you haven't seen Rami's acceptance speech, you really should. It was awesome. He made Lucy Boynton cry.
The Queen performance with Adam Lambert with a stunning picture of Freddie in the background, right at the end of their performance, was a nice touch, too.

Yeah, he's easy on the eyes but in the long run he burps, farts, scratches himself, and misses the toilet just like the rest of you.Freddy won some awards last night at the Oscar's I believe.

Summer of '84. Not bad at all, for that hokie kinda 80's vibe serial killer kinda thing.
I watched the first episode of American Gods tonight. I read the book but it was a loooooooong time ago, don't really recall it too well, or actually, at all.
Andria
Damn forgot that was starting back up. Still need to get caught up on Counterpart. And Into the Bandlands and GoT are coming soon.

Awesome movie. I have watched it many times. Tons of 80s pop culture references.
