Matt Johnson has got to be one of the smartest and most creative guys in the industry right now. I love listening to him talk. It's especially hilarious in contrast his his character in NtBtS where he's a bumbling idiot, and then you see how he actually is and all the great stuff he has to say.
This was always Mega64's approach as well. Just sneak into wherever you need to film, apologise to security afterwards and feign ignorance. Works pretty well.
matt johnson is one of my heroes and biggest inspirations. im so happy he exists and has put himself out there. makes my world a better place. much love
Absolutely brilliant show. Every episode has me laughing till my sides hurt and has me yelling at the screen about how "I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!". Pure genius produced by two stand-up guys.
It's the constant struggle, right? Like, guaranteed funding means you can theoretically make anything because the money is there. But it also removes any incentive from people apathetic to art to even pretend to care. Entirely commercially funded art is limited by what business people are willing to fund, which by their nature is the lowest risk stuff with the highest potential return on investment. But, they are sometimes incentivized to fund creative risks for a potential economic edge on the competition. Ups and downs to both, but I feel like countries with arts funding get a healthier mix of the two extremes.
The crucial difference is that guaranteed funding allows passionate people to actually do what they want, whereas the corporate model does not. Like what George Lucas said about filmmaking in the Soviet Union. Filmmakers there were much more free to make what they wanted. Whereas Star Wars requires he adhere to a strict line of commercialism. I'm alright with 99 out of 100 people just slacking off for a paycheck if it means that 1 genius gets to actually shine. In the corporate model on the other hand all 100 workers are working their asses off for a paycheck but producing something just terrible and uninspiring.
I must have been stoned watching this fucking video because I've liked two comments and I don't even have a recollection of ever watching this video. What the fuck.
wait but how do they not get seriously reprimanded for doing some stuff? How'd they get onto the TTC tracks and make it out? Were they faced with huge fines?
Like the content, almost..... I just have a phobia about people eating cereal around me....but only if there's milk n it....Leonard Nimoy got in trouble for telling kids they should'nt drink the stuff but for me it was my brother's breathe afterwards when he'd get in my face to bully me....he was always eating that nightmare textured slop....Lactose bleecth...
