Movies on Sidechat | There’s nothing really wrong with it, but anyone else kinda hate when a Biopic is just named the subjects first or last name? Same with fiction spinoffs about a single character. “Michael, Elvis, Lincoln, Gandhi, Oppenheimer, Ray, Ali” -

Yep. But it’s nothing new. Patton won best picture.

then “Andor, Loki, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan Kenobi”. Like there’s nothing wrong with it and it makes complete sense from a marketing perspective, but it kind of just gets old? Like every time a new one is announced, and the teaser is just the name, I kind of just roll my eyes. It really doesn't matter at all and I know it’s stupid, I just prefer more creative names like “Walk the line, a complete unknown, the theory of everything”.

This has been around for a while. #1 mentioned Patton but there’s Lenny, Julia, Serpico, Spartacus, and Amadeus (more about Salieri but still), to name a few more

Yea for sure I was about to mention Spartacus, and there’s even a silent Cleopatra film from 1917 called Cleopatra and a silent Napoleon film called Napoleon. I mean it makes complete sense, I just think it’s kind of lame for some reason. I know it’s not new, it seems more common now but it’s probably not. There are so many spinoffs that do the same thing too, Joey, Pearson

OP 2w

I agree with you and I’m also not even sure why. Maybe I just hate minimalism.

So did Gandhi and Amadeus (though that’s technically based off a play I guess)
