Dec. 3rd, 2022 02:04 pm* So much unfiction on my mind recently. I'd been meaning to look up stuff about the Sci Fi channel getting in trouble for promoting The Blair Witch project as a real documentary. They ran Curse of The Blair Witch, a mockumentary about the upcoming film, with no disclaimer and a lot of work to make it seem real. There was a weird split when the movie come out. A lot of people thought it was real, or was supposed to be real. Some people had no idea it was meant to be real and were confused by people saying it was. That 'found footage' style it was shot in was really rare at the time. My take at the time was that it was a hoax, but I thought it was a hoax in a different way. I thought the Sci Fi channel had been so overeager for 'real paranormal' stuff that they'd been duped, as opposed to being very much in on it.
I will someday make some sort of longpost about all unfiction, because I like it but some things definitely crossed a line like Blair Witch, Ghostwatch, and that one long running twitter unfiction series that I can't quite find the name of right now. People who think Gonchposting crosses a line sort of worry me.
By the time I do get my thoughts together people will be tired of me rambling about it.
* Jamie Campbell Bower finally has his twitter back.
* Musk continues to be a case study in how strongly the deck is stacked in favor of the rich and connected, and in favor of those who control companies other rich people are invested in.
* I am over 200 posts into my photo-a-day blog and it's going... okay. I need to get a better icon for that blog and find some ways to tweak it a little, theme it a bit more.
