She packed my bags last night, preflight. Zero hour… Nine AM.
( Takes drag of cigarette )
And I’m gonna be… high … as a kite by then.
Today we’re talking ‘Rocketman’, folks.
So don’t give me none of your aggravation.
The story of Elton John’s life has garnered a lot of positive tweets. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into the world of Rocketman .
1. Let’s begin with a joke.
Although it sucks that Elton John did eventually start to lose his hair, something tells me that in the story of Elton John that’s not the thing that will make you cry.
2. And look at this!
Our first parallel between Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman .
And I’m sure it won’t be the last parallel between two movies starring a gay British singer.
3. Some people already want to see it again.
And jeez! It’s only been two days people!
I guess if the movie is that good I can’t really blame them… and boy, does it look like a musical spectacle.
4. It’s already making people tear up.
And, once again, I’m sure it’s a very powerful movie.
From what I’ve heard, the man had a very hard life. So, I know that people are going to identify with him.
5. Speaking of which…
Even this lady says he was a tortured man, so I guess my assumptions were correct!
Wait, Sara Jay… I feel like I know that name from somewhere… Oh well, must be a coincidence!
6. People are urging us to see it…
And why wouldn’t they? I’m sure it’s going to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the summer.

I mean, the trailers make it look like an incredible spectacle.
7. Some people think Taron Egerton’s performance was Oscar worthy.
Much like that of Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody as Freddie Mercury.
Listen, guys, only one actor who plays a British singer who also happens to be gay can win an Oscar… or can they?
8. Others have already seen it thrice.
That’s right, I said thrice! Jeez, good for them!
That’s a lot of time spent in the movie theatre in the last… Wow, literally two days. Damn that movie must be good!
9. I haven’t heard Tiny Dancer…
However, I did hear Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting on the radio yesterday.
And I do have a whole bunch of Elton John on my iPhone.
10. Get back…
This reminds me of the old “Elton John’s Greatest Hits” CD my parents use to play in the car whenever we went anywhere.
Ah… I haven’t even seen the movie yet and it’s making me feel!
11. Uh….
Honestly, I didn’t expect this either. I’m wondering if I should put a spoiler warning at the beginning now… You know what, it’s a biopic.
The spoilers have been out for years.
12. My mom will be there.
I know this because she loves Elton John.
Moms of the world, if you’re worried about the R Rating, just think about how awesome the soundtrack is going to be!
13. Some people are drawing parallels to another film…
And talking about how dangerous it is that the two are being played in the same theatre.
Honestly, I see how you could love both of these movies for similar reasons.
14. Even Freddie is saying go see it.
And who are you to deny Freddie Mercury? Huh? Did you captivate the hearts of millions with your beautiful, angelic voice? I didn’t think so, bucko.
So go see Rocketman . Freddie commands it!
