Then don't watch it; it's kinda simple. Literally no one in the business cares about your opinion. Not a single one of them.
If you're offended, it's your fault
I do LPs! As if you wanted more of me after that SICK BURN

I can see your frustration. Biopics have always been oscar bait cheatcodes. You can take all the cliche dramatic tropes, the racism, the drugs, the marital strife, and make a claim it happened to a real person so people don't feel stupid watching.
I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's
I don't understand.
How many musician-origin-stories have you seen them produce? Because I've literally only heard of one (the one with Robert Downy Jr. in it)

It's a boring movie topic but I guess there are losers out there who like that shit so whatever.

You're bitching about them like you're being forced to watch them. Seriously, just continue that practice if you don't want to see them, Hollywood will still make them (most of them are actually pretty good, like Walk the Line), and people will still flock to them. There's a reason these movies make massive bank, is that despite what you've theorized, tons of people want to see them.

I bet you wouldn't be hating on Hollywood anymore if movie producers suddenly made one of those movies about a musician you like.
Haven't they only made like two anyways? A Justin Bieber one and a Katy Perry one? If so, I wouldn't count on it occurring enough to be considered a 'thing.'

I think he's getting pissed off at the recent ones that have been made about shitty famous musicians, but that's just my guess.

It's not your opinion I care about, it's your attitude that your opinion actually means anything and is that of the majority, when it obviously isn't. That's what bothers me.

And this coming year we have ones for both Jimmy Hendrix and James Brown.

Of course my opinion doesn't mean anything! Why would it? I'm just another individual of no importance. I mean, granted, I am in this business, so I have some experience to back up some of the things I say, but my opinion means no more than yours. Which is why I don't often make opinion threads. I'm not saying you shouldn't have your opinion, I just hope you realize it doesn't matter what you think, you're not a crusader for taste, you're not the lone guardian of good movies, you're just some schmuck like me.

If you're talking about the Katy Perry one and the Bieber one, those weren't biopics. Those were actual documentaries, the ones he said he'd watch. My stepmother worked on clearances for the Katy Perry one. All made up of actual footage of Katy Perry, no actors, no reenactments. It was a doc, not a movie. He's obviously talking about the James Brown biopic, and the Jimi Hendrix biopic, which are actual films dramatizing the life of two pretty awesome, pretty influential artists.

Walk Hard is the cure to feeling shitty about all these kinds of films.
I just hope you realize it doesn't matter what you think:
I just wanted to express how I feel. I don't care if it matters to anybody else

It really isn't all that complicated. Like I said, biopics in general are golden tickets to use cliches and musicians are known for having tumultuous lives.
Not a musician but a good example of my point about the cliches Dragon: the Bruce Lee story. He has racial strife, marital problems, and according to Linda Lee that fight to teach non-chinese really happened. The simplest of story telling but the audience is fooled into not being insulted.

Of course I realize that. But don't assume everyone else feels like you do.
Also, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is something I've been meaning to see, just never have.

They are pretty dumb. I for one wouldn't want to spend watching 2 hours of falsified information and dramatizations/ exaggerations about a random famous person.
Of course I realize that. But don't assume everyone else feels like you do.
when did I assume everybody felt the same as me.

Ohhhhh yeah....damn, you guys are right! Not to mention I just remembered the Notorious BIG movie that was released a few years back and the NWA movie being filmed. Shit, at this rate there'll probably be a Tupac movie coming out, hinging on the success of the NWA biopic. Wow, I'm kinda blind to these things...
Now I get what OP's complaining about. Still, a lot of these movies do sound interesting to me...even if the idea idea isn't quite original...

It's called a biopic.
They've actually been around a long time.

Watch a bunch of them and then watch Walk Hard. The reason it works is because it hits the beast of EVERY music movie. It's actual parody, something the younger generation might not recognize.
