I'll never not see Sacha Baron Cohen without thinking "You should've been Freddie Mercury".

It makes me mad he ended up not. He was PERFECT for it.

[ohmylol]

he would have been perfect

This is the kind of movie where I wouldn't go to theaters to see it (even in the Before Times), but since it's gonna be on Netflix, I'll probably end up watching it because why not?

[clockspiders]

I was about to comment that I wasn’t sure why Paramount would unload this but I think you perfectly summed up why they did!

[simplychristina]

Yeah, this would have had my interest but *maybe* as a rental (probably not right away) but since it's coming to Netflix, sure, why not?

Wait, William Hurt was accused of rape?

marlee matlin says he physically and emotionally abused her when they dated

Oh my god. I completely missed this when it came out and just looked it up. Holy shit. That's horrifying. It's really unsettling this didn't get more traction.

It's such a pet peeve of mine when British actors pronounce "been" like "bean." Having said that I'm very interested to see what Sacha does with the character of Abby Hoffman and I will definitely watch this. It's still so depressingly relevant and law enforcement officers are just getting more and more brazen. Check out this shit that just happened in Los Angeles (TW police violence): https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/09/josie-huang-arrest-videos-los-angeles-reporter-media.html

Thank you for your service.

[surprisesidney]

Lol wat, isn't that's how it's supposed to be pronounced and "bin" is the lazy version?

[ohmylol]

This looks pretty good, Jeremy as a hippie made me laugh.
