Mary Lou Singleton and I discuss the New York Times' op-ed, "The Problem With Saying 'Sex Assigned at Birth'" and the new documentary series about exploitation at Nickelodeon
I watched the whole series Quiet on the Set since.
It is all horrible and all about money.
Sometimes I go into deep luddite mode, I mean, look at showbiz since moving image.
One there were more people working in entertainment with live shows that traveled all over the country via vaudeville and touring companies. More people got some pay and some kind of living out of it.
Now, there is this extreme centralization where like a few actors make millions per picture and everyone else is out of work.
This feeds the power of gate keepers/creators and too many use that to further exploit in way not directly related to their final product. (The casting couch.)
But the whole thing with acting is rather nasty, and even adults in high profile productions are hurt sometime to make it REAL.
I thought this story was interesting
"‘Ten hours of being waterboarded’: Hannah Waddingham says Game of Thrones left her with chronic claustrophobia"
Hannah Waddingham has become very big because of Ted Lasso. She says she was traumatized by that day. I believe it.
Production is hard work. I was involved some 10 years ago and actually spent 20!!!! hours on set one day on Boardwalk Empire on a very impressive set that represented the Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1919.
I watched the video live.
