Well-monetized YouTubers, who just travel and eat crème brûlée on camera, while saying mmmm so good, and podcasters, who do nothing but yap about makeup, trucks, guns or other people, often have better gear than serious and important independent filmmakers who wear viewfinders like necklaces.

I’m almost glad I periodically make detail-rich historiographic skeets like these.

Being “on the same page” only has a chance of working if everyone involved has the same text.
(You can probably find other troubles with this tiresome metaphor.)
(I actually find ALL metaphors terrible, but since so many human folks just can’t stop themselves, I accommodate and participate.)

I always loved that Speed had two ace DPs.
De Bont was best known for his cinematography at this point and, or the role of DP, brought in fellow European, Andrzej Bartkowiak (a Pole), who had worked 11 times with Sidney Lumet. The two storyboarded the scenes so thoroughly that there was barely any coverage needed.

We see here an array of party favors from the year 2021 CE. First the common medical mask, in two exciting colors; the much sought after KN95; the posh flat N95 from 3M, aka the Aura; the fully developed N95; the rarely seen (and useless) KF94. Not seen here: the sublime duck bill respirator.

This is a good, humane and utilitarian argument.
As a natural born scavenger, I was nearly persuaded. (As for the angel Dolly — I wish she owned Twitter.)
But ultimately I must insist, as the very start of our lengthy and needed national wound debridement, that we BULLDOZE THE BALLROOM.

You know what, no. I want that to be an event center. I want grade school choirs and marching bands and the national spelling bee and great masses of people taking their oath to become American citizens there, in the Dolly Parton Ballroom (what clown is gonna argue with that name)

1. These people aren’t actual security. The guy in the inset circle is at best the “bodyguard” in a porn movie. The other two are called “security” but their actual job is to make sure no one gets near her. Anything goes down, very unlikely they’re useful.
2. She doesn’t need security. She wants it.

Hopefully this sickening monstrosity will never be built, and the traitorous bag of pus that initiated it, and his worthless collaborators, both punished harshly for their crimes, and forgotten by a much healthier future America, but in the meantime, let’s get trending BULLDOZE THE BALLROOM.

A lot of these were and are with great folks with the normal human specifications.
I’ve now had all the social interactions I can manage for 2025 and 2026 as well.
