Ask Lemmy

Roger Taylor and Brian May from Queen. Not due to them being overt assholes, but about how the treated the cinematic legacy of Freddy Mercury.

The blocked a movie idea with Sasha Baron Cohen playing Freddie in his flamboyant, over the top lifestyle as they wanted it to be 'more about the band' and they wanted Freddies death to be the middle part of the story, where the last half was them two (as Roger Deacon had walked away from them) protecting Freddies legacy.

I mean, the reason people loved Freddie was over his larger than life persona, and I'm convinced Cohen could've struck the note between the over-the-top, the fabulous and the pesonal Freddie.

Instead we got BoRep, which was an awful movie with a polished up storyline and danger free scenes. Also it was horribly edited.

I must say, they haven't done horrible stuff, they are decent individuals. But they got their succes out of working with Freddie yet they fail to see why everybody was so enchanted by Freddie and not so much by themselves.

Warren Ellis, though his forum looked super cult-like even at the time. He seemed like one of the good guys.

I got about a dozen YouTubers and streamers that fit in this box.

It seems to be inevitable. They either stop posting or streaming, or they reveal themselves to be kind of messed up.

there is something about celebrity worship to be inferred from the fact that there is only 1 non-american celebrity listed in this tgread (spanish news anchor).

that or it is selection bias
