Pee Wee Herman had 3 seperate biopics made about his life. Only the first one was really necessary You shut your mouth Big Holiday was absolutely necessary

I haven't seen it, but I remember hearing about it being in production and wondering why. It was like four minutes between the bird strike and splashdown, and everyone knows that everyone on board made it out alive, and Sully seems like a perfectly normal guy. What is there to make a movie of? my understanding is they put in a lot of DID HE CRASH THE PLANE ON PURPOSE?! and could he have made it back to the airport instead of crashing in the river!? stuff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sully_(film)It was all about the latter. The plane crash occurs at the start of the movie, and they show it again, from different perspectives, multiple times in the movie. They basically made the movie out to show that the NTSB investigators were all incompetent and out to get him (which likely had to do with the political thoughts of who directed the movie). The real guy wanted the real investigators names removed because he thought it was an unfair portrayal of them.

Steve Prefontaine. Somehow managed to get two biopics at the same time about him. My neighbor was an extra in one of them. He was a high school track star in the 1970s and actually met Steve at some banquet. I forget which one, but the biopic that Nike threw a lot of money behind, because neighbor got a ton of free stuff from Nike.

Most of Mark Wahlberg's biopic movies. I liked The Fighter, but do we really need movies about Deepwater Horizon and the Boston Marathon Bombing already, if ever? Also, as I watched Wild, I kept thinking to myself, why did this person deserve a book, let alone a movie? She went hiking! And Into the Wild guy, well off douche decides to leave society without training, dies. Should not be a cult hero! And Julie in Julie and Julia. Julia Child was awesome, Julie was a terrible and unspectacular person. my thing with Wahlberg is if you want to direct or produce these that is fine but you do not need to be the star in all. Fine actor but over saturation of the biopic tales with him

It's a well made documentary, but I just feel it gives undeserved attention to Treadwell, who struck me either mentally ill, or a complete fool who brought upon his own death, along with his incredibly stupid girlfriend. Thats what's so fascinating about him to me. Crazy, mentally ill. There was something to him to make hia gf think this life was ok. And the locals all are documented for hating him and even calling him Retarded. And its made bybone of the best guys in the doc business. Great music too Yeah, I enjoyed this too. Dude was definitely...eccentric. And I can't be the only one who wants to hear that recording. You know the one.

I can't wait for the film about Apollo Crews and Kallisto's exciting friendship. I can see it. You see them meeting in catering for the first time. Kalisto is holding a piece of bread and Apollo Crews sits beside him. "So you like bread?" Apollo asks as he smiles. Kalisto nods and says "Yes I do." "I also like putting butter in my bread but not to much because that takes away the taste of bread." Apollo's smile grows wider and gazes into Kalisto's eyes while Kalisto eyes meets his. They both smile knowing they have just bonded and it's a start of a deep beautiful exciting friendship. Dolph Ziggler proceeds to whip his dick out and f***s the bagel that Apollo set aside for himself.

And Affleck isn't even really from Massachusetts! At least Wahlberg grew up in one of the shittiest parts of the city.

Which bothers the f*** outta me because it gives Mark an excuse to put on a heavy obnoxious Boston accent. Worse than when Cena does it when they go back to Boston

I will say tat he's absolutely a hero who saved a bunch of lives, but Sully pretty much proved that you can't stretch out 35 seconds of a man's life to 2 hours and make a great story out of it. I think Captain Phillips is worse. That guy wasn't a hero.

I often wonder what possesses a person to watch a random film like this. I mean the nicest thing they could say about is it was touching. It really goes to show you that life isn't really short as long as they have time to make random movies and even more so that people take time to watch them. To each their own though

Countless musician made for TV biopics fall into this category, but the Canadian one about Shania Twain (with none of her songs and not approved by her either) might be the example of wholly useless biographical films. Doubly so when Twain's life doesn't exactly have the outright drama that makes these films work anyway. I have seen bits and pieces of the Aaliyah TV movie and thought that it wasn't that great. Hell, I read that her family didn't approve of the film going forward. I am also curious about the Michel'le biopic for Lifetime. I know that it mainly talked about her career and her relationships with Dr. Dre and Suge Knight, but I can't see that being good. I have it on my DVR and I plan to review it for my hip-hop blog, but I just need to find the time to sit down and watch it. I watched the Michel'le one and it was pretty bad. She seems to think that she deserves more credit for NWA's rise, and should have been included in Straight Outta Compton. Dre looks like a huge asshole in it. I'm sure some of it is true, but I don't know how much of it was made up to sell the movie.
