@MattBors@theneedledrop It's amazing. Rap succeeded purely because it outperformed in the marketplace. DMX had more charisma than any popular rock musician of the same era. And there's very little competition in earlier eras, maybe Diamond Dave.
@JillFilipovic Weird that supposed cutting edge thinkers glory in automating a midcult visual culture that converges to an average taste of the public. Just another boring cultural wave that feels very 20th century.
@Realmc013@msk68@JamesOKeefeIII OβKeefe has history with staging and fudging details in pursuit of a good story, how many batteries would you need to get through a 14 hour day? Someone on set got some free home lawn care equipment after this shoot.
@realFishchaser@CheckThatBlue@JamesOKeefeIII 100% staged. Heβs pushing a 48v electric Kobalt mower, a tool no commercial landscaper would use. You would need thirty batteries to get through the day. Commercial mowers use gas.
@matthiasellis Some of the best days. Directing the two and three person scene a standout as well. I went to a practical school though. Some of the youngsters did claim to miss theory and want more of it.
@RoryStolzenberg I know this is yellow journalism but as a video producer, who did CBS 19 hire recently? In cinemascope, the handheld to slow motion, the whip tilts? Too bad they're being used for nefarious purpose.
The first time a tenor saxophone hit Pharaoh Sanders' hand was in the Scipio Jones High School band in Little Rock. If you take away those instruments, those threads of history, our musical culture simply disappears.
buZ Blur, Arkansas legend, prolific wielder of the grease pencil, left the planet last week. You saw Colossus of Roads everywhere, but Bill Daniel's Who is Bozo Texino was the first time many of us saw the man https://t.co/dHw5hbuagl
