My favourite one like this is Don Henley getting Brian to autograph a copy of Pet Sounds. Brian signed it "thanks for all the great music" then thought for a second, crossed out "great", and wrote "good"
My favourite Brian Wilson story was when Bono kneeled at his feet backstage & waxed lyrical about his influence, the power of music, transcendent, etc.
After several minutes of this he interrupted Bono by saying “Say, could you go get me a Coke?”
(In fairness, he apparently did)

My boss and I have a bet going on when these are going to be largely rolled back or nullified.
I set the over/under at 45 days but my personal choice was ~60 days based just on pure obstinance.

Here's a statement from the Executive Committe of FIAF (the International Federation of Film Archives) concerning the recent dismissal of eight senior employees from the Academy Film Archive. Spoiler alert: they are not in favor of it.

If someone is looking for a writer who has seen 25+ of these films (I think I'm at 28/34 here) and can write 10,000 words about Freddy without saying the word "institution", feel free to hit me up.
I even have a good, specific angle in on Why Wiseman Matters More Now Than Ever.

Resharing my piece on The Salt Mines and its sobering, deeply upsetting sequel The Transformation. The sequel is necessary in seeing what can happen to when a trans person is isolated without a safety net and what happens when Christian charity is conditional.

Two Fly-on-the-Wall Documentaries Chronicle Trans Life in the Shadows
Made in the 1990s, The Salt Mines and The Transformation take an unflinching look at the bigotry and economic hardships faced by a community of trans sex workers of color.
