I just remembered the Notorious BIG movie that was released.

i only like that movie because of the amount of tittes in it.

Ray was especially cringey because it had those awful moments like when he's sitting in the diner and he explains that because he's blind he can hear a humming bird outside of the window.

First of all, no. I don't care how developed your hearing is, you couldn't hear a hummingbird from this distance (and even if you could, you wouldn't be able to exactly tell what it was) and second, why are they talking like this?

"Actually, I Hear Like You See".
"Oh Ma Gawd Ray Charles, You Truly Are Extraordinary!"
"But When Will We Get 2 Know Tha Real Ray Charles?"
"Perhaps This Is Tha Moment when I Will Become The Man History Remembers Me As"

Why is this dialogue so stunted and awkward? Why does every moment in a biopic have to be a defining moment? I get it, you want to make the audience care about the protagonist and take them on a journey, it just feels so forced.

That being said, I don't think this was Jamie or Kerry Washington's fault, just a really cheesy script.

I don't really mind it unless they do a fucking horrible job at it.

Good example: Last Days by Gun Van Sant

Bad example: Notorious

Take this for example.......

We're talking about biopics. Why are you bringing up the Super Mario Bros. movie? Did you even read the first post?

I'm saying that Hollywood can brutally mess up any movie, not just biopics. Biopics are shit anyway.

I don't give a shit about what your saying. you do NOT make me relive that movie

I still think that all the franchise reboots and "re-imaginings" are getting outta hand.

I stopped even considering watching reboots/re-imaginings after I saw that train wreak evil dead.

Yo hoe mah pickleboy i wanna know sat what ya fearz r lil boy! Bout all these documentries bout stuff boy! See you gotta avoid dem right now!

As long as they keep making money on them it will continue to be a thing. It does make certain amount of sense, since you have a built in fan base with the musician. Like just about every trend with Hollywood they will make far too many and the overall quality will decrease until people don't want to see them anymore. Then we will go on to a new trend, which will stick around for awhile until people get sick of that and then given enough time we will eventually see these sorts of movies reemerge. Very little in Hollywood is ever truly new.
