Hi, Alex!

Yeah, that's my problem with their songs. ALL of them have catchy melodies and beats, but some of them have kind of "weird" lyrics.

I already told you my real name in my introduction post.

Okey dokey, I will check these songs.

As for "You're My Best Friend", I thought that John Deacon wrote it, for his wife. xD

As for "Fat Bottomed Girls", I really like this song! It's catchy and everything, but yeah, lyrics are... hmmmmm... too "horny".

Oh, I see. It makes sense.
Well, nuclear wars were very destructive, so putting "in the shadow of the mushroom cloud" in lyrics fits this whole meaning of this song; "Life and Death".

I've never seen "Highlander", but indeed this scene sounds very sad.
Kind of like with "vampire & mortal" love stories. But vampires usually turn they mortal beloved ones into vampires, so it's not THAT sad.

Yeah, I know that. He was diagnosed one year after Live Aid, I think.
They messed up a little with few dates, and this scene is one of the examples.
But still I really love this movie, and even if this scene never happened in real life, then still it was VERY heartbreaking and touching.

Are you planning to watch this movie on cinema? If yes, then when you gonna see it?

Oh, I see. Heh.



Hi, Renée!!
It's nice to meet you too.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw, it's SOOOOOO cute that David is your first "celebrity crush"!
How do you find his roles? I'm asking because, well, he kinda likes to play dark/mean/sad/complicated characters. xD

As for my list, yes, it is very impressive.
As for "keeping tracks", well... I have this list on my computer, so I will never forget my "crushes".

Thanks for this lovely pic!

Well... I can't vote. There are too many actors that I adore and for me all of them are "Most Handsome Actors".

Oh, and I have a little news. But maybe you guys already know that.
My friend told me that third season of "Victoria" will start probably 13.01.2019. But I don't know if this is a confirmed info.
My friend has an application which inform him when certain tv show will gonna start. But I don't know how true is that application.

BL.Arinna_1982

I hope you like it.

I've basically only seen David in "Victoria". But I have of course watched a lot on YouTube. I don't have a DVD-player in working order at the moment, but I've recently bought "Trinity", "Cold Skin" and "The Borgias" Don't know when I'll have time to watch it really


Yes! Your friend is right. "Victoria" season 3 will start on January 13.

PhoenixRising

Hi, Renee! I hope you're doing well!

That's great news about Victoria season 3! You and Jemima must be excited to see David come back!

Hi, Jemima!

Well, Queen were a band from the 70's and 80's, so maybe that's why the lyrics aren't as weird to me since I grew up in those decades. I remember when a lot of those songs first came out.

OMG. I'm sorry, Jemima. I forgot. I don't often look in the introduction thread unless I'm posting links to new threads and updating the Opening Page. When you're a moderator, managing the intro thread kinda becomes more like a housekeeping routine.

I hope you like those songs! And yes, you're right. John Deacon wrote You're My Best Friend for his wife. Sorry, I got those mixed up. I went through my Queen phase back in the 80's and 90's and I haven't listened to their stuff in a long time, so it slipped my mind.

Well, Brian May wrote Fat Bottomed Girls. But Freddie obviously didn't mind the song.

People mentioned nuclear war in movies, TV shows, and songs a lot more back then. In the 1980's the Cold War and the Soviet Union were still around, so there were a lot more of those references in pop culture and that's probably why it was often used as a metaphor for life and death.

You should see Highlander. It's one of the most popular cult movies of the 1980's. It wasn't a hit when it first came out in 1986, but it went on to become a phenomenon on home video and cable TV. Yes, the scene is sad. I guess it's kind of similar, but the Immortals weren't vampires. They were more like mythological warriors with magical powers who lived forever, and always fought with swords.


Well, the media reported that Freddie was diagnosed in October 1986, the year after Live Aid, but Freddie's partner at the time, Jim Hutton, said that Freddie had actually been diagnosed in April 1987. But movies always play around with timelines for the sake of drama, and I guess that since the movie ended with Queen's 1985 performance at Live Aid as the climax(which was Queen's crowning achievement in the 80's), I guess they felt that it was more important to have Freddie diagnosed before the concert so that the ending would be on a more triumphant note with the Live Aid performance. Showing Freddie diagnosed after Live Aid probably would've been anticlimactic since Queen's popularity had faded by the end of the 80's and there wasn't a Queen resurgence until after Freddie's death in 1991 and Bohemian Rhapsody was featured in the 1992 movie Wayne's World, which sent the song back to #1 on the charts.

I hope you can watch Highlander because Princes of the Universe is the song in the opening credits, and you'll see why I like it so much if you see the movie. I'll probably end up watching Bohemian Rhapsody at home on cable. I never get enough time to see anything anymore. But I'm off work on Christmas Day, and my usual tradition on Christmas is to go see a movie and have dinner at a Chinese restaurant because those are the only two places that are open on Christmas. So if it's still in the cinema on December 25th I'll try to see it then.

... there's also a show Highlander

PhoenixRising

I remember, Arinna. It came on in the early 90's.

BL.Arinna_1982

Liked it better.

Crystal Clear

really late to the party but I loved the recent tweets David made about his visit back to Rome and his nostalgia over The Borgias.

BL.Arinna_1982

He liked his role of Juan.

Crystal Clear

He did and he talked in the past about feeling sad that Juan was not kept on the show longer.

I know it made sense to kill him in line with real events, but I do think David's Season 3 absence and the Season 3 cancellation could be more than just a coincidence. His performance, whether people liked Juan or not, was mesmerizing, and I found that season very dull without him.
