My best friend played "The Hero" when she and her husband came out at their wedding reception. I usually feel cynical at wedding receptions but it was glorious. I'm so excited for this episode. I love this fucking movie.

So much red! So much gold! So much...Dr. Doom?

If no one else will, I'll reluctantly take on the burden of making the "more like FLESH GORGIN'! " joke.

I never knew the bit about using the comic panels as storyboards. So why don't more people do that?

Dino de Laurentiis when the suggestion for the soundtrack was made to him: "But who are the Queens?"

And it was definitely my sexual awakening, which is why I had the Queen version of the Wedding March at my lesbian wedding. ALL CREATURES WILL MAKE MERRY UNDER PAIN OF DEATH Meanwhile, Brian Blessed is still chewing up the scenery as the voice of Granpy Rabbit on "Peppa Pig"

Because not being embarrassed about the comic book origins of these characters when making a movie is a very recent thing. Look at how the X-Men movies changed all the costumes to black leather (even giving Cyclops the line "Would you prefer yellow spandex?") rather than faithfully recreate the characters' appearances. No one wanted to be seen as making something for children, so for a long time we ended up with the best adaptations of these characters ironically being in kids cartoons. Batman the Animated Series, the Justice League cartoon, various Marvel ones in the 90s, they all ended up being far better than the supposedly more adult movies based on the same franchises.

This movie and The Transformers: The Movie are responsible for my taste in music being basically Queen and some other rock.
