I came here to make this joke! Words fall short of praise for Elton John.
"Just some lions. No need for it to be culturally significant for generations."

ridingburritos.bsky.social•103 days ago

Hah!!!!

Don't forget he probably wore a pink boa and looked fabulous, too. 🤣🤣🌈🌈❤️❤️

thecoolerdante.bsky.social•103 days ago

Don't just leave Hans Zimmer out like that.

That film was literally his first Oscar

tea-and-mushrooms.bsky.social•102 days ago

Came here to say this. I was like Elton John who? Hans Zimmer carried that movie!

“Beat it Spider-Man”

ridingburritos.bsky.social•103 days ago

Oh my god.

You took me out with this one.

But it's Bono so I don't know what you were expecting.

They peaked after like two albums.... 😜😜

uneasywriter.bsky.social•103 days ago

The Unforgettable Fire was their first peak, then came the rather bland hitmaker The Joshua Tree, and after that (skipping past Rattle and Hum as I'm only comparing new albums not live recordings) they had a great comeback with Achtung Baby. Zooropa was good, I kind of got tired of them after Pop.

uneasywriter.bsky.social•103 days ago

I too, wish they hadn't gotten so big, and trying to do any kind of charitable work via then-President Bush 2 was pretty silly, but their talent is real and that "they were only good when they were young and hardly known" is a silly fandom game.

serenyty.bsky.social•103 days ago

The show is a mess and I can’t say it’s good but justice for A Freak Like Me Needs Company (but also a big part of me liking it is Patrick Page killing it) https://youtu.be/xSF32YsKMgk?si=4F1VZ6ruX_I6Jc4C

warner bros: it’s batman so you know, doesn’t have to be your best work we just need something fun

prince, playing seven instruments at once in five-inch heels and a sequin cape: you absolute fools

elkmovie.bsky.social•102 days ago

Disney: we need some songs for this mediocre Dick Tracy movie we’re making, go find some schmo to write them

Stephen Sondheim: yo

robinruin.bsky.social•102 days ago

Prince played a show here ~4 months before he died. He waited 40 minutes between end of set & encore. His people let the floor leave & went up into the cheap seats & warned everyone to stay & move down. Then the encore was all his hits & lasted an hour.
I thought that was really awesome of him.

msolomonchik.bsky.social•95 days ago

Oh man.

bonestorm.bsky.social•102 days ago

Prince played on his birthday once in my hometown and I happened to be visiting. I was bummed because it was already sold out

During the show they announced on the radio he was playing another show after at a small club. I went. He played covers for 3 hours. Best thing I’ve ever seen. He was 1 of 1

rachelholliday.bsky.social•102 days ago

oh god I’m so envious that’s amazing!! you’re so lucky

bonestorm.bsky.social•102 days ago

It felt so special. Just a few hundred people watching Prince and his amazing band jam

warcabbitmwm.bsky.social•102 days ago

King Features: it's just a Star wars ripoff, have fun with it or something.

Freddy Mercury...
Well, I'll let the picture have this one

br4zuc4br.bsky.social•102 days ago

Flash Gordon (the comic) is from 1934 though, and the first Flash Gordon movie was made in 1936. But I still found your post funny!

warcabbitmwm.bsky.social•102 days ago

I am aware. Actually of both of these, and I would like to point out that the new refresh of the comic is fantastic and you should be reading it. However, the reason the movie was made was Star Wars.

br4zuc4br.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thank you, will look it up! Oh yeah, you're right, they found an opportunity fo cash in!

warcabbitmwm.bsky.social•102 days ago

Seriously, the comic strip is one of the four or five best out there right now. Right up there with Popeye with Randy at the helm.

ifight4them.bsky.social•97 days ago

Cool of that Fedayeen Sadam guy to carry Freddy like that.

warcabbitmwm.bsky.social•97 days ago

Nice call back, but they never looked so fabulous

jennpozner.bsky.social•102 days ago

The best to ever do it!

The only artist I put in my wedding playlist more than once...and my biggest regret for musicians I never got to see live.

spongestudio.bsky.social•103 days ago

I've heard none of those songs, U2 must've done a great job of burying them.

gauntman.bsky.social•102 days ago

They're not very good, but this one is probably the least worst:

hombrehambre.bsky.social•103 days ago

you mean, they didn’t come preloaded on some Apple device?

spongestudio.bsky.social•103 days ago

Well, Bono seems to have regretted that, at least.

aviltak.bsky.social•102 days ago

i love marvel tho.

gamergeek322.bsky.social•101 days ago

I'm not sure how true this is. I heard that Imagine Dragons were initially tapped to write some songs for this, but were let go in lieu of U2. So they tweaked some of the songs for release on their own album. And one of those songs was "Radioactive"

technicallyowen.bsky.social•103 days ago

Remember that imagine dragons first album came from Night Visions came from them and Alex Da kid working on ideas for Turn off the night https://www.yahoo.com/news/rising-rock-imagine-dragons-making-moves-165157186.html
Radioactive

bizarrodf.bsky.social•103 days ago

ok but also actually

marvel: it's a musical about spider-man. please do a good job.

imagine dragons: we did TOO GOOD a good job and have to sell the songs we wrote as a real ass album. Radioactive! bye

marvel: fuck now we gotta hire bono

nerdby.bsky.social•102 days ago

Wait, I thought Marvel rejected Imagine Dragons??? It was the other way around????

bizarrodf.bsky.social•102 days ago

a lot of this hearsay, but the old story says ID wrote Radioactive as an intro song about Peter trying to live a normal life at school despite developing radioactive spider powers

and their agent heard it and were like 'this is way too good for this cursed ass musical, im getting you out of there'

nerdby.bsky.social•102 days ago

Well, they weren't wrong.

Thanks for sharing.
