[New video!] The Brand Biopics are taking over!
🕑 Added 2023-07-28 05:06:25 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
In case you missed it, here's my latest video that's publicly available for anyone to see on YouTube.
Let me know what you think of it and any thoughts on this 'new style' people have been saying I've incorporated here.
Cheers,
E.

That was really well done and you made some interesting points! You made me want to watch a BlackBerry movie. I mean, come on.

I posted this on early access but I’ll repeat it here: That was one fantastic video, Elliot! You’ve made fascinating points all throughout, especially in regards to “anti-franchise filmmaking” and the desire for that nostalgic connection. There’s an odd simplicity to them, a callback to the pre-franchise filmmaking days of the “middle movie” that superhero films and other mega-franchises largely drove away. I recently watched hbomberguy’s “Roblox Oof” video (a really good video, BTW) and it struck me about a possible danger of brand biopics - actual creatives being lost because of egotistical higher-ups taking all of the credit. Thankfully, these movies avoid that problem (especially Blackberry).
