The Gong Show: We Live in Public

    Yes but what a tackle by Scott!

    Makes the nickname of "Oz" seem all too fitting. He wanted to control our emotions and reactions, and that he did, even in the most benign setting.

    That attacker is named Robert and he used to work at Pseudo. I know this because I spoke with him and Scott after the 6:00pm viewing (which did not include an attack). That was definitely a plant, and I've lost a fair bit of respect for what was otherwise a great film. That which transpired within the film was far more dramatic than an attack by a "fan", so not sure why they bothered..

    I spoke to Robert before the 8:30 screening too. It was fake.

    The film glossed over a lot of the negative things that went on in the loft with WLIP. The relationship with Tanya was just part of it. I'm surprised they didn't mention her posting about Josh on FuckedCompany. They didn't mention the cafe. Josh had a partner in the project and I think he owned the equipment. I remember watching and they where speaking of exchanging guns for something Josh had or wanted back.

    It also skipped some funny parts like when Josh would pace around the loft after Tanya left, the chatters thought it was a loop.

    This doc was too pristine. It didn't get to the nitty gritty.

    Interesting take. Your email address is amazing (I won't mention it since
    only I can see it), but is it actually your real email address? It's the
    shortest I've ever seen. 10 characters total.
  • andrewparker · 8 months ago
    I mean 9 chars.

    It's not my real one. You want my real one? I'll e-mail you later. I used to watch WLIP. Caught it after Tanya had left, it had become boring. It was the beginning of the end. The meltdown.

    Nico was around more than Josh, he would interact with the watchers/chatters. Sometimes the cameras would get stuck so Nico would go to another room to clap another camera awake. He'd even call some of us if we gave him our phone number.

    Oooh... 9 chars? That's short. I have one that's 11 chars counting the @ and dot. I am pretty proud of that one :)
  • tmarman · 8 months ago
    It's very generous to say that Scott "tackled" him :)
