The opening cop scene of The Batman is so good.

Imagine if you were at your place of work one day when suddenly some weird guy wearing four motorcycle jackets at the same time walks in and starts staring at things without speaking.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.

No, we aren't! We're discussing biopics that had to make a legally distinct version of a real person, like the 30 Rock joke Jackie Jormp-Jomp! That's literally the thing I said that started this conversation, and then you listed off a bunch of movies that aren't that.

Aren't they also making a new Billy Joel one that won't have rights to even his name?

A biopic about the great piano pop-rock maestro Billy Joel has received the green light despite not having any rights to the artist’s music, likeness, or even name.

Entitled Piano Man (natch), the production is coming from Michael Jai White (he of Undercover Brother 2 and Spawn fame) and his Jaigantic Studios. However, Joel’s rep told Variety that the musician is not involved in the film in any capacity, and that there’s no intention to grant the project rights to any element of Joel’s personal life story.

This was the one I was thinking of directly, the others were a few Kingo referenced, which I guess don't count since we're getting real fuckin' accurate in the RLM related movie and television bullshitting thread.

How do you expect me to watch a biopic about a musician if the rights holders don't completely change the story, the film is edited with a chainsaw, and the director has fled the country due to his many, many sex crimes

There was also a Beatles miniseries in the early 90's about Paul and John getting the band back together before John gets killed. Or maybe he never gets killed , I don't remember. It also didn't have the rights to any Beatles songs, so they decided to never play their old stuff, only brand new stuff.

I f John Lennon hadn't died he would be one of the most canceled celebrities alive today. And not just because of his personal stuff, he definitely would've released the worst rap album ever made.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
There was the Backbeat movie around the early 90s that was a pre-fame Beatles while they were still performing in Germany with Stuart Sutcliffe, all original new music recordings from what I gather. I'm assuming that was done mostly without rights to anything and the rerecorded songs on the soundtrack were apparently all tunes that the Beatles themselves had done covers of.

As a side note to the Janis Joplin thing: Apparently in the 90s there were two different Janis movies in development, I think one with some official rights and the other based on a biography. The reason that neither got made was because neither production wanted to run the risk of having the other one ruin or steal the success of theirs in some way.

he was another independent filmmaker who crossed paths with the boys before they were famous and worked with them on a woeful turd called Gorilla Interrupted, which spawned the much better and more interesting How Not to Make a Movie

they had some kind of falling out which is none of anybody's business
and as they established their brand as youtube reviewers, he quietly made a name for himself as an editor, putting together, most famously The Thief and the Cobbler Recobbled Cut, and periodically appearing in news articles about some old film footage he helped restore or preserve, stuff like that

years later, 4channers stumbled across his youtube channel which had old and rare videos of Mike and Jay, and they began to wonder just who this guy was
he happened to be livestreaming his editing work, so anon went and bugged him, and, when asked about RLM, allegedly he just started spilling his guts out about years of drama from back when they used to post on the same message board- past relationships, stuff they fought over, etc

he seemed to be generally a pretty weird guy, but also not really a bad guy, just kind of a dweeb who happened to be the Pete Best of Red Letter Media, earning him the affectionate sobriquet "Classic Gilchrist"
tragically, despite his lifelong aspirations as a filmmaker and film preservationist, his legacy for most people is that one evening while editing a film he gave depraved internet freaks the sordid behind-the-scenes interpersonal drama they desperately craved about some strangers from Milwaukee that they don't know who happen to make youtube videos they enjoy
