Bohemian Rhapsody: What the haters didn't get

What the hell is wrong with today's society? Are people no longer allowed to have a negative opinion about anything? During the last couple of years Hollywood keeps giving us one shitty re-make or sequel after another shitty re-make or sequel and if anybody dares to express a negative opinion, that critic gets attacked, publicly insulted, or told that they just "didn't get" the movie/TV show.And now even review aggregator sites like RottenTomatoes are changing their whole system because there are people who dared to say that they don't like a comic book movie.

Hey, original poster, did you like Bohemian Rhapsody? Great, I'm glad that you could enjoy it. Did anybody here think the movie sucked? Also great, it's not the end of the world.
I've seen the movie. I'm glad I've seen it but I don't think I will ever watch it again. There are good things about the movie, of course. For example Rami's performance was definitely Oscar-worthy, and the guy who played Brian looked like Dr.May's clone. It also motivated TV stations all over the world to check if they don't have anything Queen related in their archives, and many of them shared that previously unseen stuff with the rest of the world, which is fantastic. But honestly, that's it. The movie was complete fiction, but there's a tiny little problem - it was supposed to be a biopic. [/QUOTE]

So true Pittrek....I seems to be more and more obvious that whenever Brian and Roger are involved we get to see or hear something of Queen that they wish Queen had been. kind of like an Utopia thing.

Yeah it was the truth according to Brian, which isn't necessarily the truth.

What's good about becoming a Queen fan more recently is that with access to digital resources and remastered videos, it's really a new kind of experience, different from the vinyl and live shows older Queen fans were introduced by.

Hmmm but is it better?

I was lucky enough to experience both. I wouldn't say if either one is better though.

Correct. Unfortunately, in those pre-internet days we'd have killed for ready access. And now people would kill for that pre-internet experience.

I do have my doubts though that easy access to an artist's entire catalogue in one go is largely detrimental to all but a few hardy souls.

But then I guess no different to someone who liked a few songs back in the day and bought the new album / saw a gig and decided it wasn't for them.

So yeah, neither is better really :)
