Award shows are tedious and crass, but the smile on Tracy Chapman’s face when the auditorium goes nuts for her before she takes everyone to school with no lip sync, no auto-tune and no in-ear monitors is a pretty sweet moment to capture live.

@UndeadDan No beef, but they have become so ubiquitous that at a live telecast the potential for a problem with monitors and/or the venues PA system is much higher than at a regular gig, so she was confident enough to play even if she couldn’t hear the band and stay in tune and tempo.

There have been many times working for @BryanFuller where I’ve had a small part in creating some extreme imagery. I’ve never once felt that anything was exploitive or done thoughtlessly. On the rare occasions where there has been a problem with something we’ve shot...

@viviangirll As a CSA survivor, I can only project my own experience. I read this as an artist creating a narrative whereby the victim of CSA reframes the narrative to put themselves in a position of power, where in reality they felt powerless. It’s therapeutic. And healthier than shaming.

BUY MOVIES YOU LOVE ON PHYSICAL MEDIA! Distribution deals end, companies go bankrupt or get amalgamated, your terms of service can change with a streaming provider. Support companies like @Criterion @ShoutFactory and @ArrowFilmsVideo
It happens all the time. One of the greatest tricks that streaming technology ever pulled was convincing the public that “everything“ would be available, and that physical media wouldn’t be necessary anymore.
