I am astonished that there is no Rocketman thread. Or maybe there is, but I sure couldn’t find it. I even feel as if I posted in it.

Anyway, I just saw the movie and was entertained from beginning to end. It is not a typical musician biopic, more of a musical. A musical that is engaging, energetic, and creative.

Makes that Bohemian film look like a TV movie of the week.  
mmm

[We actually had a thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=876407), but it’s dropped off the front few pages of this forum, as the last post in it was on June 3rd.

And, yes, you had posted in it. 😃

Ahh, thanks **kenobi**.

Interestingly, I am still unable to find that thread via search, even knowing the actual title.
