Just made me realize why Hollywood has rushed out to make a bunch of "Based on a True Story" movies about famous products. I'm sure I'll forget a few but we've got:I do need to namedrop again The Room, Fateful Findings, Battlefield Earth, Birdemic, Samurai Cop and Disaster Movie as, again, the respective filmmakers were at least trying to make movies, even if the final products of either ended up being terrible. Studios nowadays can't even try to make a good movie with any sort of idea anymore. They have to reboot or adapt from an existing IP.
2010s was a prime example of how many movies, coming out are nothing more than things based off intellectual IPs, especially capeshit, and the majority of them became top 10 box office hits worldwide every year since. Let's face it, the 2008 Iron Man movie ruined a whole generation of the film industry, and not just capeshit either.
>Tetris
>Air Jordans
>Beanie Babies - BTW the studio was too cheap to get the rights to use actual Beanie Babies so the actors are holding generic stuffed animals)
>Blackberry - This one was actually pretty solid but I'll watch a movie/show if Glenn Howerton is a lead
>Flaming Hot Cheetos
Why are they doing this and all these movies came out in this year? Because like Comic Books they the basic story is already written out. All Hollywood has to do is "punch it up" by adding drama to the script. Best yet these types of movies are affordable. The entertainment ultimately is a reflection of the whims of the audience. We appearently want safe, boring nostalgia.
