You don’t need to be woke to be successful, turns out you just need some damn comedy writing skills and to punch up. If Jewwy can’t do dat maybe he needs to wetiwew. 🤓

I think it really speaks to what kind of person Ray Kroc was that the McDonald's corporation never even attempted to put out their own version of a biopic that paints him in a kinder light. They were perfectly content to let the makers of The Founder (which is excellent) drag his corpse up and down
Yeah, the Founder doesn't count as a brand movie in my opinion. It's a movie about a huge asshole and how he got ahead by screwing everyone else and caring about nothing other than his status.
I love how Matt Johnson (the director of Black berry) said himself that he finds it funny when people throw his movie in with other brand biopics, as his movie was made on a way shorter budget and had to use a loophole to get the copyrighted material in the film. Also Matt claims that he never even touched a black berry until he began working on the film. Love Matt Johnson, check out “Nirvanna: the band: the show” if you love abstract comedy.
@@unclekarl5219 Difference being the other movies are giant advertisments for Brands while Blackberry is just an interesting story about a dead product (and it's massive failure)
I actually really applaud BlackBerry for its insanely good implementation of Fair Use to use actual brand names to really reflect the zeitgeist the film is set in without shelling over big bucks to these corporations to use them. The filmmakers gumption to do that, amongst other things, really sets the whole tone differently than these other ones that do kind of just feel like an ad.
If you haven't I highly recommend looking up interviews with the film makers and their other projects. Particularly Nirvana the Band The Show. They talk a lot about how they use Fair Use.
Based on your comment it seems like you might already be aware of Matt Johnson's (the director) other works, but if not you should definitely check out his other projects, The Dirties, Project Avalanche, and my favorite Nirvanna the Band the Show. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
the tetris movie is genuinely a movie that needed to get made imo. The story behind the creation of tetris is barely about the game. The actual real life story of tetris is genuinely more interesting as a spy thriller plot than every james bond movie combined
Both Henk Rogers and Alexey Pajitnov have said that reality was far more boring than depicted in the movie (no car chase, no Gorbachov saving the day), but they did like it a lot. The inclusion of Gorbachov borders on parody imho, and the Tetris effects during the car chase were a bit off tonally, but I love the neo-noirish harsh lighting, the bleak colour grading, cigarette smoke everywhere. Great acting, great locations and set design. The cat-and-mouse intrigue and plotting is fascinating. It's a solid movie. Together with _Blackberry_ the only two of these six movies I'd recommend.
IKR? And then one of the wildest bits was just a footnote at the end of the movie that could've been its own film, if we wanted a biopic about a guy who sucks.
blackberry rules!!! i would never compare blackberry to any of these others movies. its an indie movie that feels larger than life, the stakes are high and the premise is so original, more people need to watch it
29:35 Damn, Pinely, can't believe you skipped Tetris. Even ignoring the movie, the whole story behind the game happens during such an interesting political and historical time, and the story itself reflects so much of that period.
If you watch Seinfeld critical of Jerry you'll realize he's about as good as an SNL cast member on their worst day. His exclamations are almost always over exaggerated and there are a ton of scenes where he's on the verge of breaking out in laughter. Considering the show wasn't live that means those were the best takes he could give.
That movie is like if you took the SNL skit where Elon musk is wario, stretched it out over like an hour 40 mins, and somehow made it 10x worse. I really like some of the people there. (Idk how Hugh Grant ended up there.) Most of the people gave good performances. But the writing just wasn't thought out. (At least the SNL writers can blame it on only having a week to write 30 min of sketches.) But this is a whole movie! How on earth did no one look over it during production?
my home ec teacher showed everyone in class the jerry seinfeld pop tart movie and she was talking about how much she liked it and how funny it was etc. and then when she played it it was the worst fucking thing ive seen in my life now im wondering if shes secretly sponsored by pop tarts or something
Haven't watched the video yet, but Blackberry is great, yall. Doesn't deserve to go down as just a 'brand movie'. Admittedly, it probably turned out that way because it's about a dead brand, and it basically frames the whole thing as a sad downward spiral and a case of capitalism stiffling innovation/creativity in favor of profit, while the others I've seen are basically uncritical capitalism/american dream propaganda
@mariaisabel-rb1gc he's just soooo good at playing a sociopath, I could watch him in Always Sunny and roles like this one all day, incredibly entertaining actor
I learned about Ray in a defunctland video. He met Walt Disney coincidentally during the war when they were both teenagers who lied about their age to join the army. Disneyland and McDonald’s started getting created around the same time and Ray tried reaching out to Disney but never got a response at the time so just kinda weird fact
I'll admit. I've never seen that "Waterloo where the vampires hang out" clip before. As someone who lives near Waterloo, where the vampires hang out, I can in fact confirm, that this is wholly true.
Brand biopics are interesting in the zeitgeist b/c we are increasingly "suspicious" of brands as a whole. I can't wait for the pink sauce biopick and the crock of wall street and FTX/Alemeda thriller.
Sort of off-topic but this reminded me of Spanish actor Santiago Segura, who has, here in Spain, been making the same family summer movie for 6 years in a row under different names (Padre no hay más que uno 1-3, A todo tren 1-2, Vacaciones de verano). Worst of all, they're all box office hits in a movie industry that constantly loses hundreds of millions every year
Bro uncut gems was bad ass, Adam Sandler actually has chops as an actor, at the very least. And is capable of making a great film, when it's not just him and his friends making movies from his studio lol.

When you brought up Tetris and said how you didn't feel like watching it after a few minutes 'cause it felt just like the rest, I thought it was a bit, and you'd come back with "But then I decided to finish it, and -" Shocked and dissapointed.

He seems so ready to like things, which is not something I feel like I see much of in the "commentary" space-- he doesn't avoid pointing out the problems or dislikes he had, but it just feels like he always comes back to the positives and I love it. 2.

Pinely, i’ve been watching you since late 2017 and since the beginning i’ve been drawn in by your cartoon boxboy visuals i just wanted to say it’s been an honor to watch your content grow & transform over these past few years i love that you went with a cardboard background & a cardboard mic i feel like it’s the perfect blend of your past content & your new content congratulations on fully honing your brand ✨
I honestly thought this video would be about movies made by brands at first. You could get a lot of mileage from KFC's various media crossovers alone (romance movie, romance novel, dating sim...) This works too
The funniest thing about the Tetris movie is that they use a clip from Game Grumps to represent Mike Tyson's Punch Out without cropping the borders. If you listen carefully you can hear Arin swearing in the background. Oh, and moments before, they reference the first Legend of Zelda game while using footage of Four Swords Adventures, which came out ~18 years later (I'm bad at mental math)
I mean this in the most sincere way possible. I will never forgive you for not watching and reviewing Tetris. You're not exactly dead to me, but something very close.
They are more like ads for capitalism rather than the brand, considering a lot of them aren’t even funded by the brand itself. More like they’re selling us the empty American dream
Here are brand bio picks that I would like to see made: • Corn Flakes (If you know, you know, and it’s wild. 😂) • MySpace • Napster • Ferbies • Aqua Dots • Lawn Darts
When he was describing how satisfying seeing Ray win was, I was sitting here like, "Wtf are you talking about? I wasn't rooting for him a single bit. The movie never gave me a reason to. Wtf?" Lol
I haven't seen Blackberry yet, but it is open in a new tab for after this vid. I love when Pinely reviews movies I always find a new perspective in things I've already seen.
Did you like it? One of my favorite movies of the year and one of the best non-comedy comedies I have seen in years thanks to Rob's legendary rage performance
I like the cinematography of the Founder. Of the brand biopics, it feels actually nice to watch. The movie obviously lies, but I don't eat McDonald's anyway hahaha
Can I say how much I love your style of making videos here? That cartoony drawings are very cool, you have the whole background and stuff. I always really appreciated that, it feels very unique - and it says something on RUclips 😄 I love the effort you're putting into this ❤
yoo, its the dude from nirvana the band the show edit: holy shit lol, i didnt realize he DIRECTED Blackberry. absolutely insane, ill have to give it a watch
It's constantly trying to have "wacky humor" but it's so mediocre. Especially that scene towards the end where they make Hugh Grant get dressed up like the horns guy and recreate Jan 6. I'm honestly kind of sad about that. I thought when the guy came to him at the bar it was going to start being a corporate espionage plotline. Which would've made sense and possibly been interesting. Overall it's a corny movie that's almost entirely celebrity cameos. With writing that is somehow even more forced than the bee movie. Jerry Seinfeld wrote, directed, and plays the main character of this movie, if that gives you a hint.
Dude you should totally watch the Tetris movie, it was actually really good, and is super different from the other ones, just because of how insane the story behind how Tetris became so huge is
i work at a movie theater on my college campus. we had an advanced screening of Air last spring. we gave out air shoelaces and basketball stress balls. there is still a bucket of air shoelaces that we've had for over a year now. we had Marcello Hernandez at the theater a few months ago and gave some of the shoelaces out to the line of people
The tetris movie is so good though...its very clear you didn't watch more than the beginning because had you watched more you wouldn't have said its like all the others lol, I doubt the other movies had russians threatening to murder the main character if he doesn't leave russia lol.
It had some weird moments in the third act though. With Gorbachev and the tetris-fied chase scene it almost shifted into parody territory. But yea, it's a pretty good movie.
Tetris is one of the craziest films, especially the final set piece having a car chase through communist Moscow to a Russian rendition of Holding Out For a Hero. The quality of the film overall is really up and down, and i think it's only beaten in it's inaccuracies by the Cheeto one whilst acting like it really happened
Nah this video is an instant classic🤌🏿 The collection of films, the genre creation then analysis, the Seinfeld toast, so many quotable pinely moments🤣 Plus I actually wanna see these movies now, so overall grrrrrrRRRRREAT/10 video, will watch again
Dang, there's so many. well i know from the Queen biopic (The band) that there's a bit of um fiction in there in regards to the obsession with the former girlfriend part. I do love learning though
I gotta say you nailed it with the poptart movie/cat in the hat comparison. Two movies that just feel like fever dreams. And I'll be honest? Objectively neither are good movies. But in my opinion, sometimes you need a fever dream nightmarishly weird movie to just stare at open mouthed zero thoughts besides what the fuck is happening on my tv
"They were so sad!" has slain me. I will say that the Tetris origin movie was genuinely interesting, and it's not like I watched it and immediately ran out to buy a Tetris. Just the tale of a desperate Dutch-American guy from Japan and his Russian programmer friend who would very much like to not be murdered for talking to him.
I happened to watch this right after the Comment Etiquette video, and so was thinking about what I get out of these essays. It's kind of worth it when I can explain to normal coworkers every interesting meme related to these funny bad films, and then the confused look on their face when I'm like, "no, I haven't seen any of them." Plus not having to give studios clicks.
Air is so stupid. They frame it as an underdog story but like, Nike was the 2nd biggest shoe company at the time. "Our company is only worth 1 billion dollars but we want it to be worth 6 billion 😭"
Jerry Seinfeld bitching about his humor being too offensive for todays audiences while his movie being a “random lol XD” embarrassment seems very appropriate
thanks to this comment section i went and watched the tetris movie. im kinda glad he didnt include it here so i could go into it blind. it was such an amazing movie! it had very intense moments of anticipation that reminded me of a safdie brothers film, and great aesthetic choices regarding visual gags and cinematography. the story was very interesting, not your run of the mill 'x product no one believed it became worth billions' shtick. really really recommend!!
The most glaring difference between these movies and something like "the social network" is that the social network was willing to be even slightly critical of the brand it was portraying. These biopics are more like corporate worship than actual biopics
The Gaming Historian did a video essay about how Tetris came to be and it is infinitely better than the movie you didn’t watch, so give that a watch instead
I don’t mind these films because they’re (mostly,you don’t count Jerry Seinfeld) pretty well made,but I can see how this will eventually devolve into a corporate circle-jerk where all the suits talk about how awesome their products are.
I'm glad I waited to finish the video before commenting. I got nervous when I saw you lumping Blackberry in with these other movies, because its definitely different. Matt Johnson (the director, and also actor who played Doug) is extremely talented, I love everything he's made, especially Nirvanna the Band the Show, please watch that if you haven't, its one of my favorite shows.
All of my least favorite movies are about inventions of products. Like idk why I even continue seeing them. I don’t care about how a major hell hole in control of our life became a thing
The Tetris movie was interesting, cause it really wasn't about Tetris or how it was made at all and instead was more of a spy film with Tetris as a catalyst for the plot.
The Founder was the first brand biopic I watch and I didn't expect much but it ended up being such a good time. Michael Keaton a great actor, I don't know if I would have liked it as much if it would have been portrayed by someone else.
If you haven’t seen blackberry it is definitely better than all these other films and is worth a watch. It’s a great lesson in fair use and copyright law.

Great acting, great locations and set design. The cat-and-mouse intrigue and plotting is fascinating. It's a solid movie.
Together with _Blackberry_ the only two of these six movies I'd recommend.

I'm honestly kind of sad about that. I thought when the guy came to him at the bar it was going to start being a corporate espionage plotline. Which would've made sense and possibly been interesting.
Overall it's a corny movie that's almost entirely celebrity cameos. With writing that is somehow even more forced than the bee movie. Jerry Seinfeld wrote, directed, and plays the main character of this movie, if that gives you a hint.
Dude you should totally watch the Tetris movie, it was actually really good, and is super different from the other ones, just because of how insane the story behind how Tetris became so huge is
My music teacher in 2016-2020 used a Blackberry the whole time, and I had no idea what it was lol. I bet she’s still using it too
literally iconic, she's a legend
i really love the cardboard aesthetic lmao
I genuinely thought The Poptart Movie was a Drunk History episode for a solid 40 minutes
i work at a movie theater on my college campus. we had an advanced screening of Air last spring. we gave out air shoelaces and basketball stress balls. there is still a bucket of air shoelaces that we've had for over a year now. we had Marcello Hernandez at the theater a few months ago and gave some of the shoelaces out to the line of people
Aw, you really should have finished Tetris, it's really entertaining!
I hope you know your art is like so good man
True it's very style
The tetris movie is so good though...its very clear you didn't watch more than the beginning because had you watched more you wouldn't have said its like all the others lol, I doubt the other movies had russians threatening to murder the main character if he doesn't leave russia lol.
It had some weird moments in the third act though. With Gorbachev and the tetris-fied chase scene it almost shifted into parody territory. But yea, it's a pretty good movie.
Tetris is one of the craziest films, especially the final set piece having a car chase through communist Moscow to a Russian rendition of Holding Out For a Hero. The quality of the film overall is really up and down, and i think it's only beaten in it's inaccuracies by the Cheeto one whilst acting like it really happened
Cat in the Hat movie was incredibly fun, i Loved rewatching it as an adult, i hope i can watch it with my kids lmao
Nah this video is an instant classic🤌🏿 The collection of films, the genre creation then analysis, the Seinfeld toast, so many quotable pinely moments🤣 Plus I actually wanna see these movies now, so overall grrrrrrRRRRREAT/10 video, will watch again
Dang, there's so many. well i know from the Queen biopic (The band) that there's a bit of um fiction in there in regards to the obsession with the former girlfriend part. I do love learning though
I love when comedic actors get to play dramatic roles. Genuinely so cool to see them flex their acting chops like that.
I gotta say you nailed it with the poptart movie/cat in the hat comparison. Two movies that just feel like fever dreams. And I'll be honest? Objectively neither are good movies. But in my opinion, sometimes you need a fever dream nightmarishly weird movie to just stare at open mouthed zero thoughts besides what the fuck is happening on my tv
"They were so sad!" has slain me.
I will say that the Tetris origin movie was genuinely interesting, and it's not like I watched it and immediately ran out to buy a Tetris. Just the tale of a desperate Dutch-American guy from Japan and his Russian programmer friend who would very much like to not be murdered for talking to him.
I happened to watch this right after the Comment Etiquette video, and so was thinking about what I get out of these essays. It's kind of worth it when I can explain to normal coworkers every interesting meme related to these funny bad films, and then the confused look on their face when I'm like, "no, I haven't seen any of them." Plus not having to give studios clicks.
Orr your set looks amazing! And I feel like you using cardboard is such a callback to your older videos, it's really nostalgic 🥺
Next video: The -ification-ification of Pinely
watched this video right before bed last night and pinely infiltrated my dreams to help me solve a conspiracy
I panicked seeing Blackberry in the thumbnail... so glad you liked it!
I find myself enjoying pinely/evil pinely videos more and more lately. Good stuff buddy
hey pinely, It's really nice to see this channel really taking off and adopting such a unique personality of its own! keep up the good work :)
Just wanted to say you convinced me to finally watch The Founder and damn what a good movie!
Solid birthday present, thanks!
Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉
@@FAB13 Thanks!
bounced on my boy's poptarts to this for hours, great video to watch on my lunch break!
Air is so stupid. They frame it as an underdog story but like, Nike was the 2nd biggest shoe company at the time. "Our company is only worth 1 billion dollars but we want it to be worth 6 billion 😭"
Pinely… if you watched only the beginning of Tetris you missed all the crazy Russian stuff
Jerry Seinfeld bitching about his humor being too offensive for todays audiences while his movie being a “random lol XD” embarrassment seems very appropriate
I really liked the Founder! It's super entertaining from beginning to end
thanks to this comment section i went and watched the tetris movie. im kinda glad he didnt include it here so i could go into it blind. it was such an amazing movie! it had very intense moments of anticipation that reminded me of a safdie brothers film, and great aesthetic choices regarding visual gags and cinematography. the story was very interesting, not your run of the mill 'x product no one believed it became worth billions' shtick. really really recommend!!
Hockey guy here, it is actually pronounced 'Ball-Silly' and he's even more notorious over here.
The most glaring difference between these movies and something like "the social network" is that the social network was willing to be even slightly critical of the brand it was portraying. These biopics are more like corporate worship than actual biopics
The Gaming Historian did a video essay about how Tetris came to be and it is infinitely better than the movie you didn’t watch, so give that a watch instead
I don’t mind these films because they’re (mostly,you don’t count Jerry Seinfeld) pretty well made,but I can see how this will eventually devolve into a corporate circle-jerk where all the suits talk about how awesome their products are.
that calculator at 25:30 makes me feel so nostalgic, it's exactly the kind all my classmates used to use back in highschool
i always forget how good you are at analyzing movies. good job
not a brand biopic but Love and Mercy about the Beach Boys might be the best one ever
i like ur vids, the background is pretty sick. love the cardboards, its really unique and cook
I'm glad I waited to finish the video before commenting. I got nervous when I saw you lumping Blackberry in with these other movies, because its definitely different. Matt Johnson (the director, and also actor who played Doug) is extremely talented, I love everything he's made, especially Nirvanna the Band the Show, please watch that if you haven't, its one of my favorite shows.
“They made the same movie 6 times” aka “the brandification of movies” aka “hollywoods brand invasion”
Aka the plague of brand movies
All of my least favorite movies are about inventions of products. Like idk why I even continue seeing them. I don’t care about how a major hell hole in control of our life became a thing
Pinely my guy, you should put that cardboard sun on a shirt. Or a hat, or an enamel pin or something. I'd buy it so fast
Real ones remember when it said “they made the same movie 6 times”
The Tetris movie was interesting, cause it really wasn't about Tetris or how it was made at all and instead was more of a spy film with Tetris as a catalyst for the plot.
Wake up, babe. New Pinely dropped! 😎
You’re in the new Eric, etiquette video
The Founder was the first brand biopic I watch and I didn't expect much but it ended up being such a good time. Michael Keaton a great actor, I don't know if I would have liked it as much if it would have been portrayed by someone else.
If you haven’t seen blackberry it is definitely better than all these other films and is worth a watch. It’s a great lesson in fair use and copyright law.
Great video, loved the marvel vs capcom 2 music at the beginning
when Pinely missed 2 days of school, those days were renamed to saturday and sunday
i love all the cardboard backgrounds in this video, and the mic taped in front of the mic!
