Apparently the whole Rock Band / Guitar Hero / I think I’m a real musician because I got three stars on a video game trend is carrying on wildly unabated and is now producing movies.
Sure, South Park went for Guitar Hero a couple seasons back or so, but now, we’re getting movies out of it. Fake musicians are becoming part of the movie landscape, and I’m horrified.
First off, we’ve got Adventures of Power, which is all about–get this–AIR DRUMMING. Some guy who works in a mine with his dad packs up and goes to New Jersey to compete in an air drumming tournament. I’ve got the trailer below just in case you doubt me.
Now that I’ve reinforced my credibility by showing you the trailer, I can also point you toward one that’s so new it doesn’t have a trailer I can find yet–Air Guitar: The Movie. This is about the, and frankly, this’ll kill you–world of competitive air guitar.
I’m horrified. I’m horrified that Hollywood clearly thinks so little of us that these are actually considered commercially viable.
