neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie recommendation is "Rocketman", an over-the top, surrealistic Elton John "biopic" (loosely, very dramatized). To quote: "An Elton John biopic was never going to be understated, but this glittering jukebox musical goes way over the top and then keeps going." Unapologetically gay. #Movies
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Rocketman. If they ever make a movie out of this, it could be pretty good.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t know if anyone found it vastly rewarding, but switched off the film Rocketman when they had Elton doing Crocodile Rock from 1973 at the LA Troubadour in 1970.
negative · AI labelView post →It's a shame Rocketman didn't become the influential music biopic of the 2010s where the blocking and cinematography feels like a musical/music video. I think the only film that followed that path was Baz Luhrmann's Elvis.
positive · AI labelView post →Pre-2022 movies I saw for the first time this year: Cría cuervos Soup for One Slither (1973) Under the Shadow Something New The April Fools Memories of Murder A Different Story A Taste of Honey Man with a Movie Camera Rob the Mob Tomboy The Gift (2015) RocketMan (1997) (1/*) #filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →#SeptemberMovieChallenge (4) Movie about a singer Rocketman (2019)
neutral · AI labelView post →Seeing a cgi monkey murder past versions of himself as a metaphor for depression before trying to kill himself was kind of the batshit stuff I had hoped for from this genre after Rocketman, a movie I walked away from thinking “I wish it went weirder.” I guess I got that.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sequels are usually unnecessary but consider a follow up to ROCKETMAN (2019) that brings the same frantic energy the first movie uses for his cocaine-and-hedonism days to Elton of the 90s (Disney’s Lion King, Aida on Broadway, duet with Eminem) and tell me you wouldn’t check that out.
positive · AI labelView post →I remember seeing the footage, he was going to say something else but then fred randall fell down the ladder and said "it wasn't me", and (realizes I'm remembering the film Rocketman)
neutral · AI labelView post →New Projector Short! Elton John looks back on his life and career on the eve of his farewell Dodgers Stadium performance in the Disney+ documentary Never Too Late, which I saw as part of #LFF, but it says little that Rocketman didn't already.
negative · AI labelView post →More movie paintings Rocketman
neutral · AI labelView post →Random thing of the day: Rocketman A musical film about the life of Elton John. A really good watch!
positive · AI labelView post →There was never a need to make Bohemian Rhapsody, or Rocketman, or A Complete Unknown. They all seem idiotic to me because they’re each making this exact movie but taking it all so seriously. Only The Beatles Anthology is funnier.
negative · AI labelView post →"… And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find..." Grab your eccentric clothing and crazy songs and boring film because this week we're diving into Ewan Cassidy's Patreon request "Rocketman." I'm sure it is a ton of fun if you like Elton John.
negative · AI labelView post →Now that I'm home it's time for an ✨️airplane movie review✨️ Rocketman - good movie! Enjoy the concept of treating a biopic as a musical; a bit sensational Mamma Mia! - good movie! Best scene was the second half of Lay All Your Love On Me
positive · AI labelView post →Time for movie #2! The next randomly selected movie is... Rocketman, 1997
neutral · AI labelView post →Rocketman was released in movie theaters 7 years ago today. Taron Egerton nails it as Elton John. What a performance! youtu.be/kyfMjDlcisQ #Movies #Cinema #Filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →In my mind, Elton John watched that movie and said "I want that gorilla to play me in a biopic." And thus we got Taron Egerton in Rocketman.

neutral · AI labelView post →Loved #ProjectHailMary. ❤️ What a fantastic movie! Just as good as the book. And thank you Lord and Miller for *not* putting the obvious, clichéd choice of “Rocketman” in the film’s soundtrack. Was bracing myself for it, but I knew you guys were better than that.

neutral · AI labelView post →they made a whole movie about it even !! i think it was called Rocketman
neutral · AI labelView post →That's an insane budget for a Music Biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody & Rocketman had budgets of 55 million & 40 million thats why they made money. They aren't meant to be getting to superhero movie budget money, even Elvis had a budget of 85 million and everyone knows Elvis
neutral · AI labelView post →I hope the Clayface movie is pure horror and up opens the door for more marvel/DC movies in other genres. Give me a Rocketman style Dazzler music bio-pic without a single fight scene!
positive · AI labelView post →Won't get worked up about Beatles movie images because I can't picture a world where I'd want to see it, or Bohemian Rhapsody, Elvis, Rocketman, Back to Black, whatever. Twenty-four hours' of Get Back footage though, yes please, sit me down.
neutral · AI labelView post →Another big one is Phil Collins, the singer and songwriter who is perhaps best known for his work on Disney's Tarzan. It's somewhat of a full-circle scenario, as Paramount already released a film based on Elton John (who worked on Disney's The Lion King) with 2019's Rocketman.

positive · AI labelView post →The Mario Galaxy Movie is either gonna have the most beautiful rendition of Gusty Garden Galaxy or the most out of place use of Rocketman by Elton John
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm Still Standing as Performed by Taron Egerton However, not the Rocketman version; This is the version from the animated movie Sing where he plays a gorilla. Y'all I don't think we've ever had a crowd so INSTANTLY on our side, it was amazing.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Rocketman expresses the universal queer experience of getting a terrible haircut and a drape cause your mother started fucking a rockabilly

neutral · AI labelView post →Token 2 is from the 2019 Elton John movie Rocketman starring Taron Egerton as the iconic musician. Egerton sang all the songs and I thought he was just brilliant and super talented. Here's his version of Rocket Man youtu.be/AjWokqBxODs?...
positive · AI labelView post →Favorite film from the year you turned 18 It was either that or A Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood, both beautiful movies, couldn't choose 😭 Rocketman [2019]
positive · AI labelView post →Yeah the Director got MeToo-ed and fired 2/3 through filming and they had to do the rest with a new director (the guy who later did Rocketman incidentally) and edit the movie without the guy who directed 2/3 of it
neutral · AI labelView post →Personally I think the best music biopic (apart from Walk Hard, of course) is Rocketman. And the reason I think it works the best is because it's an honest to god MUSICAL-not just a movie that plays a bunch of music.
positive · AI labelView post →So Better Man is a better film than Rocketman which is a better film than Bohemian Rhapsody. I cannae wait for the Ed Sheeran biopic where he is played by a smurf #filmsky #moviesky
positive · AI labelView post →It's true. The cocky rival who cheats, the training montages, the win despite all odds... It has every trope of the genre with a medieval set dressing. Why dont they do this with more genres? Like I want a musician biopic movie ala Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocketman about a couple bards in England in the dark ages, and it is just Simon and Garfunkel doing Simon and Garfunkel songs on lyres and flutes completely anachronistically. Not satirically. Completely earnestly and yet fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →So musician biopics are the new superhero films, which means in 2034 studios will be baffled as to why their $80 million Kajagoogoo film isn't selling as many tickets as ONE LOVE or ROCKETMAN.
neutral · AI labelView post →Still a great film (as is Rocketman)

neutral · AI labelView post →I didn’t dislike the Mario movie in fact I had fun but if the Galaxy movie has a scene with Mario soaring through a galaxy while Rocketman by Elton John plays I WILL trigger my body to suffer a heart attack and force the theater to evacuate
neutral · AI labelView post →I knew nothing about Robbie Williams but the Robbie Williams movie slapped. So fun and well made — it and Rocketman need to be the blueprint for music biopics going forward
positive · AI labelView post →The other thing that tells you how shit it is is Rocketman coming out near it and that is a wonderful film.
positive · AI labelView post →I used 'Performance fish', 'Rocketman', and 'Performance Optimizer' as optimization modes, but even with optimization modes, I only got about 160 ticks, so I had to play for quite a long time.
neutral · AI labelView post →Field-tested my new sound system with "Rocketman". Pretty happy with it, though that film doesn't really have a lot of spatial features. I'll have to come up with something else for that.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched a scene from Rocketman. I am mad all over again because that movie is brilliant.
positive · AI labelView post →I know I'm late to the party but I really enjoyed the film Rocketman #ptop

neutral · AI labelView post →It's only competition was Gone Fishin, which I watched in the theater, and Rocketman, my favorite movie starring Harlan Williams.
