Re: [bomp] Walkthe line

["Brock From The Grave" <moptop66@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I understand that liberties are taken in biopics- that's not my beef with 
this movie. I hated it because none of the presence of these people came 
across. I grew up around these people (I was in a band with John Carter) and 
nothing about their real personalities came through. And I thought the music 
STUNK. I've seen run-of-the-mill bar bands that captured the feel of that 
music better than anyone in the movie did. It was dull and sterile. I 
thought Reese Witherspoon was cringe-inducingly bad. Just because the 
Academy liked it, doesn't mean it's good.
