I was planning on going on a media blackout today anyways so I don’t spend the day stressed out but since it seems like that’s coinciding with the block feature going away let’s just make this one permanent. Deleting this app. Not getting a replacement. Time to log off.

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

So we’re a month out from when this is supposed to drop, we gettin’ a trailer anytime soon or…?

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

Fascinating. If this is what I think it likely is (which is a re-edit of the Maysles Brothers original documentary) then I think we could be in for a very good emotional counterpoint to Get Back. At worst we get something completely uninspired like the Ron Howard doc.

I lived for seventeen years without it. I’ll be able to keep on living without it.

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

This will likely be the change that takes me off this site forever. The whole point of me blocking an account is because I don’t want certain people or spam bots to be able to track and get updates on what I’m doing. Removing that feature completely undoes all of that.

Soon we’ll be launching a change to how the block function works.

If your posts are set to public, accounts you have blocked will be able to view them, but they will not be able to engage (like, reply, repost, etc.).

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

Our attention spans deteriorating as art, media and humanity become viewed of as more and more disposable with every passing day. Well I’m more than ready to unplug and get out of this spiral of emotional self-destruction via the addiction of services like this.

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

The thing is it could go either way. If we just get another standard documentary featuring a bunch of boomer talking heads telling us how important The Beatles were I won’t be offended, all I’m saying is Peter Jackson’s set the bar for re-examining Beatles footage very high.

Prepare to experience the electrifying moment when The Beatles first touched down in America.
"Beatles ’64", an all-new documentary from producer Martin Scorsese and director David Tedeschi, is streaming exclusively on @DisneyPlus November 29.

what do you mean “confirms”

Jimmy Carter is now too old to play with Legos 🧱

We lost both the dads from "Coming to America" in a month, rough stuff

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

a-ha connecting the music video for “The Sun Always Shines on T.V” to the video for “Take on Me” I think is a mistake. Generally speaking I don’t think any musician should try to promote their new music by reminding people of their older hits.

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

It suggests the question if in the future we’ll see a return to the three-camera live audience presentation. If the audience over the past 50 years has shifted from single-camera to three-camera back to single-camera, who’s to say history won’t repeat itself?

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

It’s fascinating the way American sitcoms in the ‘70s started out as single-camera shows with tacked on laugh tracks and then shifted to three-camera live audience productions. Meanwhile, today if a sitcom is three-cameras with a live audience it’s considered outdated and hacky.

[Witmer @Remtiwitmer]

Nowadays the expectation is for comedy shows to be single-camera with zero laugh track to allow for the audience to make up their minds if they think a joke is funny or not. It’s interesting the way we’ve come full circle.
