The film is full of interesting characters. The Acid Queen (Tina Turner), a prostitute dealing in LSD who sends Tommy on a wild trip that ultimately fails to awaken him. Meanwhile, his parents are somewhat negligent of Tommy, and leave him in the hands of his sadistic cousin Kevin (Paul Nicholas), who beats him, and his uncle Ernie (Keith Moon), who molests him.
Tommy's only stimulus seems to come from a long mirror that he stands and stares into.
A pinball machine among the scattered scrap metal junk yard allows Tommy to rise to national prominence and fame. Tommy's pinball prowess and defeat of the local champ (Elton John) transforms him into a folk hero.
"I'm free!"
Walk up to Whole Foods to get some dip. Streetcar to South Lake Union. Get some Panang Beef with Thai Phad at the Kaosamai food truck. Pack stuff and head up to #404. Do the litter. Watch Krypto The Superdog.
Then, it's Hardball with Chris Matthews. Doze off during MSNBC News. Wake up again in time for Smallville. Then it's Stargate SG-U.
Stargate Universe follows the adventures of a present-day, multinational, exploration team unable to return to Earth after an evacuation to the Ancient spaceship Destiny, which is traveling in a distant corner of the universe. Also watch Sanctuary Episode: Hero. Then I conk out again.
