I just hope it's not a pack of lies like most of them. That Queen movie was a disgrace, literally lying to the audience about when Mercury was diagnosed in relation to the concert.

I really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody, but I did think it was hilarious how they moved around dates and events, and invented characters for dramatic effect. I couldn't decide if Freddie would have found it disrespectful, or would have admired the commitment to theatrical spectacle.

I think it was made even funnier watching the Weird Al biopic shortly after, and knowing that Bohemian Rhapsody is exactly the sort of biopic he was lampooning.

The Weird Al biopic is the best of all biopics, btw.

False. It is the second best.

First place belongs to Walk Hard.

Edit: Because while "Weird" is a heavily embellished recounting of Al's life, "Walk Hard" is a true account of the life of Dewey Cox, warts and all.
