Ahead of a Syracuse, New York, stop on his “Bigger & Weirder” tour, Yankovic revealed to Syracuse.com in an interview published this week that he was offered “a nice pile of money” to appear in a commercial for business-focused software, but he backed out once he realized the ad would involve AI. “I’m not a fan of AI,” he said.
I watched to 2022 movie “Weird: The AL Yankovic Story” It was crap, it would have been much better off as an honest biography.
Up until this comment, I thought everyone was talking about U/H/F
A few years ago I saw an interview with Emo Phillips and he held up a royalty check he’d just gotten in the mail for his appearance in that movie. It was for $1.37 or some such. He called UHF “the gift that keeps on giving”.
What do you mean? They very faithfully recreated his rise to fame exactly as it happened.
I was there as it happened, perhaps my memory is a little fuzzy.
Yup. I’ll miss him after his assassination.
Weird. I watched that same movie and it wasn’t crap. It was brilliant and entertaining.
An honest biography would be worth watching, but infinitely more boring.
It was definitely weird
