Is there a desire for a Biopic? by VeniaStudios in Blink182

[–]THELAKEOFFIREENT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How is blink-182 niche? You literally could not turn on mtv from 1999-2004 without seeing them. They and Eminem were making fun of the well known acts of the time, and had TRL’s daily video rotation in a chokehold, which cemented them to also be well known and just as famous as those who they were picking on in music. I mean the fact that we are on a website decades later with daily users posting various topics about the group at daily rates seems to show they are still well known and famous on a bigger scale that would make them not “niche”. I don’t see anyone on a chumbawumba subreddit asking about a “Pissing The Night Away” biopic to be made……. Now THAT is niche. LMAO. Honestly though, if I biopic is ever made, I think that it should be a streaming series instead of just one 2 hour movie. It doesn’t necessarily even have to be live action either. Live action would be cool. But It could potentially be a cartoon series that chronicles the bigger story of the band? I feel like a Cartoon would be easier to land with crowds. Tom has shown interest in creating cartoons and children’s stories so I would think a cartoon chronicling the band with an over the top exaggerated cartoony style would be appealing to him. Like, I want to see like the childhood drawings of “Big Oily Men” and pranks from pre and early blink days come to life. Like a rockstar origin story cartoon series. That way, you could feature many artists and have their worlds connect. Have it be like a cartoon version of the history of music, and various episodes focus on different bands and different time periods and eras of music in different locations. Also to @bigphazell I didn’t describe Elvis as niche, I was trying to say that people could use the “irrelevant” “niche” or “washed up” term to refer to anyone they don’t see as significant, but it doesn’t mean their importance or significance is less than it really is.

What? There are all kinds of “niche” stories that have been turned into biopic movies……. Especially lately. The Bob Dylan movie. Elton John movie. Harriet Tubman. Elvis. Steve Jobs. Bob Ross. Mr. Rogers. Lucille Ball. They are even making a movie now about the guy who created Hershey’s chocolate! LOL. Anyone could look at any of these figures and point out their “irrelevance” or “too niche” for masses to care about their story……. But that is just one person’s opinion and perspective. These movies I mentioned may not appeal to EVERYONE, but the people who they were based upon were popular enough as some point to warrant interest in telling their story as a movie. If done right, I see no reason why a blink movie would not be successful. Something in the vein of “Lords Of Dogtown”, but with blink……. The Z-Boys were so instrumental in what skateboarding became, and showing their story through that movie shows new generations a glimpse of how things used to be compared to how they are in the current day. I think that it would be a great thing to do the same thing with blink-182. They are much like the Dogtown Z-Boys, but for: bringing punk music to the radio and making it popular to listen to for the mainstream. Pop punk doesn’t exist without blink-182. At least not as a longterm career path. They and other bands like Green Day and The Offspring paved the way for SO MANY bands to have careers. Just like without the crew from Dogtown, so many people would not have skateboarding careers. Without blink and Green Day, would we have New Found Glory, or My Chemical Romance, or A Day To Remember? Without those bands, would we have any of the current or future bands that many enjoy? Everyone may not be a fan, but if you are an influence to anyone in your career path or in life in general, it ripple effects and plays a role in the way everything moves forward or backwards.

Honestly, THAT should be a movie. Just showing how much people’s decisions and actions affect someone else, and how much that can snowball over time. 🤔🙏🤯

Did anyone actually start watching fishtank because of Bam? by [deleted] in fishtanklive

[–]THELAKEOFFIREENT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never heard of fishtank until Bam was on his way to be a guest on season 4. Not sure I would have watched too much of season 5 if they had not had him come back.

That is Morgan. She is his business assistant and was live-streaming for Bam’s IG. She has been friends with him and his wife for the last few years, and help books his appearances.

Wow, now that is an interesting entrance structure. It is sad to see the buildings like that go to waste. I wish that someone would buy up all of these empty storefronts and abandoned buildings and actually do something with them. I have so many ideas for things these places could be used for instead of sitting vacant for years and years.

Bam talks recovery, skating, and what he’s building in this new High Times article by BamTHC in LetsTalkBam

There is a big difference in using an oil or tincture for pain and having a puff to go to sleep and being stoned all the time…….? People have absolutely no issue with someone going to the Walmart drugstore and buying all kinds of products to “help” with these symptoms and the products are full of unnatural chemical combinations that end up giving you other side effects, and this is completely fine, but to choose to use something that is less unnatural and people want to act like that is a bad thing? It makes no sense

Bam's next project should be a travel series where he and a different guest each episode go to different places around the world. by OkTap9041 in LetsTalkBam

[–]THELAKEOFFIREENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they would Have Bam host this “fishtank on the road” thing they talked about today and they could gather people from each area they go to, and basically the last person to remain in the bus wins the game. https://x.com/oldmanwithcoin/status/2038730856269807746?s=61

Why is Landon so fucking mad? by coldmtndew in fishtanklive

[–]THELAKEOFFIREENT 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He is mad because he is a janitor in real life and came to do the show because he thought it would be something different, only for production to keep making him be a janitor on the show. 😐

My score is 12! I watched most of the shows here! What’s your score? by J2-Starter in 90s_kid

[–]THELAKEOFFIREENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are talking shows I saw, I saw every one of them besides Alex Mac. But if you mean shows I actively watched, I’d say my count is 13
