I would not be the slightest bit surprised if Tony would buy out at least one of the Japanese companies rather than let them go under entirely Boy howdy would that make dudes on twitter extremely mad

achillesforever6 posted:Yeah I would say Enjoy wrestling has some of the best friends I've made; though it's cheating since I know a lot of them since it's a lot of Pittsburgh leftists, trans people, and the wrestlers themselves. Enjoy would say is unique since the owners really don't want it to be a "Wrestling Fans" promotion they get great talent but market to the "hey this seems cool and never gone to a wrestling show before" vibe Enjoy is indeed very good at doing that. The talent that does those shows are pretty nice, they ended up at the same bar I went to after the last show. Never felt the crowd was weird and Mr Smalls is a great venue for a show.

Asking for realism in a wrestling match is like asking for a film to be shot under Dogma 95. Sure, it's possible, but it's very limiting, not the only way to do what you want to do, and sometimes results in your end product looking like crap.

No promotion that emphasised realism has survived, it's boring as poo poo after the first few shows.

Realism in wrestling can be cool, early Pancrase & Rings are fun precisely because it's hard to tell the difference between work & shoot. But there was more money in just going all in on the burgeoning MMA side of things. It's just one of those things where if you accept you're doing it then it's not going to make much money. If any. It's so niche, even among a niche of a niche.

Dogme 95 was just a film experiment with a couple danish filmmakers where they try and shoot film without any sort of artifice. And for it to be a Dogme 95 movie you have to take a vow of chastity. Dogme 95: The Vow of Chastity "I swear to submit to the following set of rules drawn up and confirmed by DOGME 95: 1. Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the story, a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found). 2. The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs where the scene is being shot). 3. The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. (The film must not take place where the camera is standing; shooting must take place where the film takes place). 4. The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable. (If there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera). 5. Optical work and filters are forbidden. 6. The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.) 7. Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now.) 8. Genre movies are not acceptable. 9. The film format must be Academy 35 mm. 10. The director must not be credited. Furthermore I swear as a director to refrain from personal taste! I am no longer an artist. I swear to refrain from creating a "work", as I regard the instant as more important than the whole. My supreme goal is to force the truth out of my characters and settings. I swear to do so by all the means available and at the cost of any good taste and any aesthetic considerations. Thus I make my VOW OF CHASTITY." Copenhagen, Monday 13 March 1995 On behalf of DOGME 95 Lars von Trier Thomas Vinterberg There’s really only been a couple of actual Dogme 95 movies and even those there’s a little bit of cheating. It’s a fun experiment though when someone attempts it.

I really like Festen/The Celebration. Excellent movie all around. Liked Dogville at first but now all I can see when I watch it is LVT's fetish for making women miserable both on and off camera. With years of space (and relevant academic experience) the most important Dogme rules in my mind are those related to plot construction: focus on telling a story about people and their experiences instead of a spectacle. Especially in the digital age all of the technical stuff is moot. But that's all just tracing Aristotle anyway.
