No one wants to compete with Walk Hard's depiction.
Stones are superior
Sure dude!
Back in the 60s there was a whole Beatles Cinematic Universe
Too difficult to cast them. Also estate gatekeeps the music license and it would probably be the most expensive film ever just to get a reasonable amount of songs in.
MJ holds the record for most succesful entertainer, that also by extension includes music
>mogged by as much as 200 million
hmmmm
>He is the most awarded recording artist in the history of popular music and is recognized as the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" by Guinness World Records selling an estimated 500 millons records around the world.[1]
>Guinness World Records is your source
The Beatles - 160,650,000 (15 studio albums) + 203,392,000 + 116,080,000 + 35,230,000 + 20,350,000 = 535,702,000 (As of 2023)
Michael Jackson - 182,600,000 (6 Studio Albums) + 102,000,000 + 79,350,000 + 80,000,000 + 19,000,000 = 462,950,000 (As of 2017)
>Posts an image that totals to a higher count for the Beatles than Michael Jackson
The Beatles were the biggest band, MJ was the biggest solo artist. There, I solved your fricking bickering.
MJ is globally the most popular musician of all time, this isn't even up for a debate for a man considered on par with Jesus for fame
>musician
no, entertainer maybe
Beatles aren't relevant or known outside the United States or United Kingdom which is where 80% of their sales come from
/misc/ tier image.
you have to be extremely moronic to believe that
Yeah and the Beatles were bigger than Jesus.
Yeah, a solo musician, and the Beatles were the biggest band. I already said I solved your bickering you illiterate.
You aren't listening. Michael Jackson eclipses The Beatle, it isn't even a contest really. Band or no.
I don't care which is bigger. Michael Jackson is the biggest solo artist, the Beatles are the biggest band. You're fricking illiterate as frick, I solved your bickering now shut the frick up.
>Michael Jackson eclipses The Beatle
Simply incorrect.
What's with MJ fans and their need to remind people about MJ?
MJ fans are fricking autistic about his success for some reason, I don't get it at all. Even if he's not literally the best-selling artist of all time he's one of the most recognizable figures of the last 100 years, I don't get why they feel the need to go out of their way to defend his fame. I never see fans of the Beatles, Elvis, or Led Zeppelin go to such extreme lengths like they do.
Americans want the biggest act to be an American. Blacks want the biggest act to be black.
Hence when they see the reality that a bunch of inbred bongs are really the biggest in history they get really upset and feel the need to contest it.
nobody ever talks about MJ, at most he's a footnote of trivia for being a famous pedophile
Ironic since that applies to the Beatles, who haven't been relevant in decades. Not the guy who is mentioned every single day on the internet by people desperate to claim there's someone more popular than him, like Christiano Ronaldo, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Lionel Messi. It's not God they compare people to, it's him.
There was a huge Disney+ documentary not so long ago consisting of hours of them pointlessly fricking around in a studio, and it was incredibly popular
>Huge disney+ documentary
>Over its first four days of release, the series was streamed for a total of 503 million minutes (equaling 1.07 million complete viewers), with people over the age of 55 making up 54% of the demographic.
That's pathetic, Janet Jackson did 17 million for a interview a couple years ago.
There were 4 movies and a documentary they directly starred in though.
You posted a picture of the beatles and not queen
musical act in history
>The Beatles
Imagine staying in a band and pretending the new guy, that just replaced the old guy who died in a car accident, is still the exact same as the old guy...just money things, I guess
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all time are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all time. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics, instead, are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers.
In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, most rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.
Why didn’t anyone respond to me? This is the most popular pasta on this subject and regularly gets (You)s on Cinemaphile.
Across the Universe is pretty good movie
>haven't you Brits ever heard of braces?
>yes, we use them to hold up our trousers
Across the Universe was such mindless crap, worse interpretation of the 60s ever
Don't worry, OP, between A.I personality models and deepfakes, there will be many more to come.
What's going to happen when there is no longer any way to tell what is real and what isn't? The time is rapidly approaching.
