Jimmy Kimmel had Bruce Springsteen on..... with some actor that played him in a movie.....

Ya know like Bob Dylan……I really don’t like movies of people still alive and “actors” playing them. I just don’t like it. Who do ya thinks is gonna be next. Elton John?? Who’s your choice. I just don’t like it, that they’re still alive and they make a movie of them. Nope I just don’t like it.

1. Agree. Big Dylan fan and moderate Springsteen fan. But I've had access to Dylan movie for months, but not interested.

Probably same with Springsteen.

Plus if I’m going to spend 2 hours, think I’d rather watch a live concert video.

I’ll probably watch them one day, but not feeling it now.

3. Probably will. The clips I saw for Dylan looked good. I just can't accept anything will beat Dylan standing outside

Dylan had a lot of input while they produced it, but what I like most is that they capture the power of music, culture, society and art in a tangible way that’s enjoyable and not overwrought.

5. If Bruce was good with it, then fine by me...

Maybe some day I'll see that movie on TV... no big deal either way.

6. I like when an actor portrays a living person, but you seem genuinely ambivalent about the whole thing.

I saw and enjoyed the Dylan biopic and I look forward to seeing the Springsteen movie as well. To each their own.
