Somebody to Love

I was going to attend "Day of Days" today at Universal CityWalk, but needed to run an errand in the morning, so I wasn't able to do so.  Instead, I saw "Bohemian Rhapsody" in Dolby while it was still available in that format.

• Nice instrumentation of the Fox Fanfare!  I was all smiles while it played.
• I didn't know that Freddie Mercury was a designer until today.  Well, that explains the outfits.
• Rami Malek's portrayal of Mercury was incredible.  Loved it.
• I tried to figure out who was playing Deacon for the entire movie, because I recognized his face.  Then I saw his name in the credits and realized it was because I know his face as a child.  Joseph Mazzello of "Jurassic Park", you are all grown up now!
• The scene with Mike Myers was great.  I loved the reference to kids not wanting to sit in their cars, banging their heads to "Bohemian Rhapsody".  Dude, that's WAYNE saying that!  Party on, Wayne.
• Oh, Mary, I feel your pain.  I cried through that whole scene, probably because it hit too close to home.  
• I cried a lot during this film. The first time was when the audience was singing "Love of My Life".  I'm glad the band talked about how that felt, because I have always wondered what it must feel like to hear thousands of people singing your song back to you.  I've always been amazed by anyone that can write an original song.  That is the height of creativity to me.
• I absolutely enjoyed the making of "Bohemian Rhapsody", especially the editing with the rooster crowing.
• "Who even is Galileo?"
• "It's America.  They're prudes in public and perverts in private."
• "You look like an angry lizard."
• "I am the lead singer, not the leader of the band."

I'm glad I saw the movie in Dolby.  The drum beats made my chair shake.  I really enjoyed the film and will probably see it a lot when it gets aired on TV.  Now I need to get some Queen CDs.  How is it that I don't have any yet?!?!
