Fuck it, they should make it now. Give it to the people who made that Weird Al biopic.

Ozzy played by Daniel Radcliffe would be as fantastic as Weird Al! Only if they can't get Denzel Washington of course.

Weird Al as Ozzy, but with a lot of "behind the scenes" off-set interview stuff with Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 months ago

Ozzy, played by Weird Al, played by Daniel Radcliffe.

[-] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Fuck, now I need a series of Daniel Radcliffe biopics.

I'm guessing this is how I'm gonna find out Ozzie died

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

To be fair, his death happened like an hour before the meme was posted. The BBC announced it an hour after this meme, so kudos for OP having one ready in the chamber.

[-] Predalien@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

I can't tell if this comment was made because Ozzy's death was actually announced a few hours ago or if this is genuinely a coincidence

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Well there's nothing in the post about him dying, so yeah it's just a joke.

[-] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Ozzy died. So, I guess he did die.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

I hadn't read anything about his death. I started seeing all these Ozzy memes, so my assumption was that something must have happened to him. And yep it did...

[-] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 3 months ago

Please. Make it a serious Oscar bate tearjerker, and completely ignore that it's denzel.

Or don't ignore it, but add an Overcoming systemic racism arc.

[-] hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Add a scene where he is supposed to play at a fancy restaurant but they won't let him eat there first. So interested he goes to a black bar and ends up playing with the heavy metal house band instead.

[-] teft@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago

Black bar as in people of color or people of gothic color?

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 26 points 3 months ago

You all laugh, but Denzel would be perfect for this role.

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Denzel is such a fantastic actor with a wide acting range. I could see him do it just for the challenge. I'd love to see him in a wig too. Hahaa

i remember my uncle putting on Crazy Train when i was about 10 and later discovering Black Sabbath in my teens.

Paranoid is 55 years old this year and it still is fresher than majority of albums that are being released today.

[-] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

African American Sabbath

[-] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

The interviewer looks like Charlie from IASIP.

[-] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

That's Chris Hardwick I think.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Scifi movie where Denzel plays an alternate Ozzy?

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

This is real?
