That said, I saw "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the big screen this past weekend and I was blown away. I had previously seen Rami Malek in the remake of "Papillon" and I foresee a fantastic film career for this actor.
I remember the controversies over that and the Sugar Hill Gang's use of the same bassline for "Rapper's Delight" in 1979 the year Chic's "Good Times" was released.
