For the last goddamn time people, Elton John is not the Pinball Wizard in Tommy |
|
He portrays the Champ, who gets beaten by Tommy, the Pinball Wizard.
Why is this simple concept so fucking difficult to understand?

21. Did you watch the fucking movie? |
|
When Elton John is playing pinball he's clearly identified as 'The Champ.'
Local Lad is just some crap they made up for IMDB.

18. O shit. That was the name of the movie |
|
I was trying to think of the pinball machine at the laundromat my mom used to frequent when I was a kid, and that was the name of the movie. It had spinning propellers and everything.

Next you're going to try to tell me that "The Thin Man" didn't refer to Nick Charles, as played by William Powell.
