I saw the trailer for it a couple days ago.  I really like the actor that is playing Freddie; Rami Malek.

I thought originally it was going to be Sacha Baron Cohen playing Mercury.

They really had to work to get his Overbite to look real.

Did Freddie have a big overbite?  I never noticed.

I heard Brian May interviewed when there was one of those bombings in England, in Manchester I think. It was interesting.

I just saw it, it's claptrap.  Right out of the "We must learn to understand the Muslims" school.

Wasn't Freddy a lapsed Muslim?

Well, he certainly had the "sex with barnyard animals" thing down perfectly, so maybe.

Well... I liked Rami in Mr. Robot.  Not sure if I will like him in this tho.  Never did care for "Queen".

Yeah, that article was a bit over the top in their descriptions, making it sound like they started it all.  But it did include Freddy...
