sensationalism and being the first male actor to have a gay sex scene in a major motion picture (gay as in MEN, not this other lipstick lesbian tripe .. that while visually entertaining has been a breeding ground for un breeding.
[/QUOTE]
I'm confused. Gay as in MEN? You don't think women can be gay?

Just indicated that there is little MALE homo stuff in major motion pictures.
I think part of sbc's initial desire to be in the film would be to introduce this very real (but imho) disgusting practice.
Not homophobic. Just my predisposition is to love women. Because I find it disgusting should be no surprise.
Just like butch women find cockerspaniels disgusting
Please don't harass me with gay bullying.
Was happier when this stuff wasnt shoved in everybodys face

I agree with you 100%. I mean we all know Freddie's sexual preference, but to make the movie focus on it would be a turn off for most hetero men, and turn the movie into a political statement.
Also, something like that would take away from the main point, and that is Freddie's amazing talent for singing, song writing, and showmanship.
I think that SBC did look the part more so than the actor they went with, however had SBC been given the green light to do as he wanted the movie would have been no more than a gay porno.
Even though it was Freddie who changed how I think about gay people [I used to hate them, and now I don't], I don't want to see a soft core gay scene, nor would I like to see an explicit sexual scene between a man, and woman in a biopic.
Like I mentioned earlier SBC really fucked himself by being an ass, and getting himself booted off the cast, as this movie could have made him.

I really hope it was just his inability to be an engaging feature film actor, rather than the gay assault on the senses that might have happened, that would be the real reason behind his being sacked.
Seemed partially that way to me. The other bit would've been about breaking new ground. Maybe reducing the character of fm. How else do you figure it would have been promoted if it wasn't screened beforehand?
Also. Films that aren't screened beforehand are often left to be embarrassments not worth the backing.
It seems to hedge on all the suspicion AND on Brian's statement that for sbc's personality to sever itself from this project would be improper (result in scrutiny and jokes).
Not the fitting tribute deserved of a companion/brother in arms

I think the people in QPL may have been put off by sbc's off-screen antics, for example his behaviour on the Oscars when the film the dictator was in the nomination list. They cannot control his off-screen promotion antics and cannot trust him to have a decent sense of decorum.

Whilst I don't expect the film to become as successful as say Forest Gump, there is without doubt a market for a film about Freddie, there are millions of fans around the world and only a small sector of the Queen community turn up here, we tend to be the most hardcore group but really the film is not aimed at us, if it were than you would not bother, there are only a couple of thousand real Queen mad fans that bother to go to forums, however based on record sales there is still a huge general fan base out there.
It will be difficult for any hardcore fan to accept a film about Freddie with actors playing the parts, but the general public will not care a jot, so I expect it will do pretty well as long as it's well written, well acted and the 'feel' of the film seems accurate.

Hah, you sound like the very definition of a homophobe. You don't just find the idea of gay sex disgusting, you seem actually terrified of them. Every word you posted there is dripping with fear. You're paranoid to the point that the very mention of homosexuality is perceived as shoving it in your face. Paranoid to the point that you believe a straight actor wanted to be in the film so he could turn it into a gay fest.
It would be funny if it weren't so utterly and completely cowardly and pathetic.
