I was embarrassed when I saw that movie. I am a huge rush fan and am totally psyched that they are getting a lot of attention these days especially being a huge part of a big movie, but that movie totally blows. Whats worse is they portray Rush fans to be complete weirdos. I mean we kind of are... but we don't act like 12 year old girls at Rush concerts like the characters do in the movie. I've spoke my opinion, now hate me Commenters!
@magtownrep i completey agree with everything you typed down. once something goes mainstream...this is the outcome! (like don henlay said "crap is king")
Yeah ever notice how drummers look like movie stars? First Peart looking like Hanks, then Chad Smith looking like Will Ferrell. Wonder if ill look like a movie star one day..
I had no idea that there was any Rush in this movie at all, my girlfriend went to see it last night and told me about it, so I will have to check it out now, geek that I am!
I'm surprised that Neil Peart is at the premiere instead of Alex, as Neil usually avoids any big publicity events such as this, great!
The cool thing is, they weren't inducted because they aren't mainstream enough, meaning they didn't sell out like a certain band who was recently inducted.
no doubt, I was at the eye doctor a few weeks ago, and was reading an entertainment weekly, and RUSH was mentioned twice, once was an article about retrospective 3 and the other was a mention in an article on I love you man
they're finally getting their due, hopefully it keeps coming
Yes, I know that it is Mr Peart, I thought that the first word of the second sentence, "Seriously" would indicate that the opening comment was a "joke" (albeit a poor one).
evad2010, I don`t know if there is anything we can do to get Rush inducted. It is quite obvious that they should already be in the Hall of Fame, but I have a feling that those who make the decision on who gets in know that Rush might now decline their offer.
This is probably my third favorite movie after Zoolander and American History X. It blends my two favorite things. Awkward humor and Rush.

So Neil will come out of seclusion for the Hollywood crowd, but can't be bothered with fan meet-n-greets. Hmmph.

Seriously, all due respect to Rush. At last they are getting some mainstream exposure that they truly deserve. I might even go and see this movie !
Long live Rush (well, they already lived long, please let them live a lot longer !).
