HBOGo might still have And The Band Played On up. It was that TV movie from 1993 about all the groups working to figure out just what the Hell the HIV virus was and their efforts to fight it. Everybody was in it. Richard Gere did a part that was literally like, five minutes of screen time, that’s how big the project was to a lot of people.

That was a rough watch, particularly the parts with the Gay community and when they realize blood transfusions were spreading it.

Parts of it have been pretty soundly refuted now (Particularly with how the epidemic started. The book and movie kind of narrow it down to flight attendant Gaetan Dugas, but this was pretty heavily contested at the time and since has been blown out of the water completely) but it never fails to mess me up, even with the inaccuracies.

“Oh my God, it was all an act? He faked his tears?” Cones said when told by a reporter what had happened. She recovered a second later. “I don’t care. Am I supposed to say I’m embarrassed? All conversations about art are important.”

Cones’s segment is particularly likely to raise eyebrows. During one moment, she gamely honors his request that involves devoting a part of her body to art in a way that might make even the most stoic viewer avert their eyes.
“Oh my God, I did do that!” she said, at once horrified and slightly smiling as she recalled it. But she quickly recovered. “It will come around and get him. These things always come around.”

“Sacha Baron Cohen owes me a face-to-face meeting as compensation for his underhanded tactics and his preying on the vulnerable, especially by pretending to be someone who suffered when he probably hasn’t suffered a moment in his life,” she said. “That’s the least he could do after putting me through this.

“That, and buy a painting."

Gale is like the only pure soul on Breaking Bad. Sure, he cooked meth, but he was legitimately in it for the artistry and for the money to karaoke in weird bars.

I know some of the stuff was inaccurate by the time I watched it, but I’m curious, is Dugas still vilified for allegedly being the ‘patient zero’ of the AIDs epidemic? I had a HS bio teacher in the early 2000s that spoke of the ‘flight attendant spreading it’ as if it were the gospel truth.

I was actually heartened to see that. Sure, I’m going to disagree vehemently with conservatives, but it was at least good to know that some of them still have a modicum of respect for what their position entails, even if only just.

And then, of course, the avalanche of counter-examples just reinforced that.

For a Chinese film they sure brought in lots of foreign talent

quote:

The film's costumes were designed by Oscar-winner Ngila Dickson (Lord of the Rings), while Hollywood veteran Martín Hernandez served as audio director (The Revenant, Birdman) and Charlie Iturriaga (Deadpool, Furious 7) supervised the VFX work. The film is the directorial debut of Hollywood stunt coordinator-turned-filmmaker Peng Zhang (Rush Hour 3, Twilight 1 & 2).
