They need to convert the Zoomers away from socialism, somehow, I guess. Hollywood is a capitalist industry if there ever was one, and it no doubt worries them that the younger generations are more skeptical of the merits of capitalism than previous generations have been in the US. I doubt these movies will actually do much about that, but I wouldn't doubt that a motivating factor behind these brand biopics is knowledge of the average Zoomer ideology.

In context about Air's budget, the reason why it was that expensive was that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck relaunched their production company and in every of that company's production, they wanted to give a proper incentive to the people making those films. To summarize, the budget was huge because Damon and Affleck wanted to give their crew a fair an equal paycheck, aside from their actors.

I mean his "world-changing ambition" was just turning restaurants & other stores into franchises, which now means every place in America (and slowly the rest of the world) is beginning to look and feel like the exact same place. You can go from one city to another and the food, clothing, and other store options will mostly be the same (McDonald's, H&M, AMC Theaters, Dunkin Donuts, CVS, etc.). Cities and towns in America are losing all of their sense of place, they're now all a blend of copy and paste brands and corporations.

If they ever did a Pink Floyd biopic (which, I mean come on, yes!) the way I would have it break formula is have it basically just be the story of Roger Waters’ and Syd Barrett’s friendship, Syd’s decline, and Roger’s reaction to it, so it wouldn’t even be that much about the band so much as two friends whose personal and artistic bond birthed the legendary music we know, the tragedy that created the melancholic beauty of Floyd’s soundscapes. Shit, even a paint-by-numbers biopic for PF would be leagues more watchable than some bloody film about an ulcer-inducing cheese crisp.

One thing that Ben Affleck said about Michael Jordan not being that present in AIR is because Michael himself is an eminence that trying to hire an actor that looked, moved and sounded like the real thing would be distracting for the audience that would like to see if the actor playing Michael can pull it off. At the end, the movie is about Nike, not Michael, it is not a biopic. And i think that works in it's favor. Also, Michael himself gave his blessing to the movie because he said that the only way the movie could be done was if his mother would be played by Viola Davis. So yeah, it all worked for him as well.

great great video. i love matt johnnson's work and blackberry is a great addition. one of my favorite things he's ever said was at the end of a q&a, describing why all his films feature people who fail. he starts by describing the myth of gilgamesh, then says: so he goes home and as he gets over this one sand dune, ... and he starts to cry. he goes “this place is amazing. i cant believe that it’s mine.” and he goes back to his castle and he’s happier than hes ever been in his whole life. and he dies a happy man. and he didnt get anything he wanted. and i thought: this is my life. i will continue to fail at the thing that i want the most, and there’s something quite beautiful about that. and thats how i see these characters in these movies. they really want something impossible-whether it’s a show at the rivoli, or to make a real school shooting movie, or to fake the moon landing, or even to invent the perfect smartphone- and they fail so badly because… they just dont have it. they just dont have the thing you would need to really do it. but it’s okay. yknow? it was something beautiful that they tried.

It tells the story of a product and how it came to be, but it also shows how it failed and doesn't treat it like a brilliant product. It acknowledges that it's a product with issues. I also like Pinball because it's not really about the product, but a odd little story surrounding the product.

The segment on the Pinball film reminded me of the movie American Splendor, which also interpolates biopic filmmaking with documentary interview segments (though in American Splendor's case the interviews are of the actual people it's about). I enjoyed that movie a lot, so I'm pretty interested in the Pinball movie, too. I don't think I would've even heard about it if you hadn't talked about it in this video, so thanks for that. And of course, your segment on Blackberry also makes me want to check it out more. I'd heard of the creative team's output fairly often before (thanks in no small part to YMS's recommendations), but that whole segment here piqued my interest even further. I didn't even know about that Wii Shop Channel sketch from their early videos: thanks for mentioning that, I checked it out and it's pretty funny!

There was a time when I'd have all these toys, and I'd think they would be a part of my life forever. Now who knows where they catch dust between milestones in life that have me moving from place to place. You're right in that the Barbie movie might just be a cash grab, but so what? If there is true artistry put behind it, and if there is someone that wants to capture that sense of imagination we had as a kid, why not? What's so bad about reminiscing over it.

My main takeaway from "Air" judging by the film clips is that Matt Damon is quite good at keeping a straight face when spewing cringeworthy lines from a poop script for a decent payday. BTW, I hope nobody gets the impression that the Russian programmer of Tetris just invented the whole thing out of thin air. The mathematical objects known as tetrominoes, which are the whole subject of Tetris had been created long, long ago. The Tetris guy had the bright idea of spinning them to puzzle-fit as they drop on a computer screen.

Mr. Johnson was at Fan Expo (the biggest comic con in Toronto) in a dope Professor X costume. I didn't realize it was him at first so it was trying to get him to be in one of my cosplay reel videos. I knew I recognized him but couldn't place him, only later realized who he was and that the weird vibe he was giving me was him sizing me up for whatever prank he was there to do on people...

I saw "Air" at the cinema and can also watch on Prime Video. The thing is that "Air" was the only of these with massive worldwide distribution. I'm from Argentina, Apple tv+ isn't available here. I watched "Tetris" and "Pinball" on illegal movie websites because I've got no other way of consuming these films. I need to watch "Blackberry" yet, again somewhere on the internet. I like brand biopics in general depending on the quality of the film itself, I own "The social network" and "The founder" on blu-ray. "AIR" is one I might add to my collection but it's a streaming movie, don't think it'll be for sale in physical form. I really liked it. I enjoyed "Tetris" as well, "Pinball" wasn't as good though.

I would suggest that if you like the Blackberry movie you might like the film Driven (2018) about the crazy story behind the Deloren car. Both are tragic comedies that have an inevitable "iceberg". Also its got that Tetris vibe of an over the top government influence (FBI = Soviets). I was born 12 years after Back to the Future came out but seen it more than 200 times and only after watching Driven did I get the joke, "You made a time machine, out of a Delorean?" It's such good irony and gives a funny but real risk to the movie that the time machine could malfunction. Not something I could've known with a lack of context, and its the greatest feeling when one of these bipoics actually gives you some new information.

Michael Jordan not being in a film about Michael Jordan gives away that it was a Blacklist film.
