Queen Borat

I'm sure many Queen fans are horrified by the casting of Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury, but I am equally horrified that Queen has so many fans. Is Queen music really classic rock, or is it show tunes with guitars? Cohen is probably as close to the right type as anyone will find, and he can certainly project the right flamboyance. Now there is reason to endure a biopic of one of the most consistently annoying bands in rock history.

  1. SBC looks a lot like Mercury, and I think it's important to give ever actor a chance to show breadth.
