      Still thinking about the train wreck that was the 2014 Zachary Quinto docuseries THE CHAIR pitting Shane Dawson vs Anna Martemucci in a first time filmmaker contest The idea was to pit a "traditional" filmmaker who'd come up through film school vs a New Media maverick

      The original idea was just this gonna be this simple compare/contrast between different styles of filmmaking and points of view and so forth Instead, if you look at it as a film school vs YouTube thing, it is a devastating, nonstop, furious indictment of YouTube

      Like the "film school" side of it is irrelevant Unfortunately the other filmmaker's story gets completely buried in what a towering pile of shit Shane Dawson is The message of the series ends up being that if YouTube made this guy successful YouTube must be burned to the ground

      Maybe the nation's film schools are stodgy and snobby and don't set their students up for success or whatever but at least they teach you the basics of how a film shoot works At least they tell you not to do blackface

      It's amazing that Shane ultimately winning the contest by popular vote, despite being universally despised by critics, test audiences, his own executive producer and most of his cast and crew is a foregone conclusion Because he has 10 million followers who do anything he says

      And it ends up being not just an indictment of YouTube but of America The fact that this man got $850k to make his movie in the first place, and then gets rewarded with a $250k cash prize on top of that, is a deep failure of our entire society

      Like Starz totally unknowingly signed themselves up to create the first major entry in the Saga of Shane Dawson's downfall Again, tremendously unfairly to the other competitor, the story of the whole show is "Where the hell did this man come from and why can't he be stopped"

          Goddamn I do think this term is wildly overused but that series is such a portrait of delusional narcissism

          Like the fact that he SCREAMS and goes off into this HUGE DIVA TANTRUM over being asked to take the slightest criticism, to listen to another person's opinion about ANYTHING And then talks about how he feels like he's "given up so much" and "compromised so much"

          Like, they should be going in much harder on him He should not be directing a feature film, he's ignorant of so much shit, if it were a real, normal film set he'd either have just been fired or have someone else assigned to ride herd on him and keep him in line

          But everyone's so fucking nice, everyone's trying to couch their criticisms in the most conciliatory possible tone, and he acts like he's under constant persecution

          Nobody in the city of Pittsburgh wants to even audition because his script is such garbage and he acts like the Pittsburgh acting community is somehow conspiring against him Like they're all ungrateful wretches for not wanting to participate in his work of art

          Martin Scorsese would be embarrassed to act like that I mean I would like to think Martin Scorsese *wouldn't* act like that But come on, this is pure diva behavior from someone who's DONE NOTHING Does he think his shitty YouTube career actually counts as filmmaking

          Cause he keeps saying how excited he is to graduate from a career of telling jokes on the Internet and becoming a real filmmaker but he doesn't seem to think this requires learning any new information or changing any of his behavior

          It's a very pure psychological case study in... I dunno, someone whose YouTube fame has successfully destroyed his mind The extremely fucked up landscape of 2009-era YouTube obviously destroyed the minds of his young audience but also destroyed his

          It's like -- the whole story of this docuseries is Zachary Quinto and his associates getting a horrifying peek through a Lovecraftian portal into some insane, illogical alternate pocket dimension where Shane's shitty jokes are funny and he's a deeply beloved and admired celebrity

          It's like some Twilight Zone shit Like the movie even has him playing the male lead himself because he genuinely thinks he's a heartthrob, he's the young Brad Pitt who can effortlessly sell the role of the hot dude Cherami Leigh has pined for her whole life AND HIS FANS AGREE

          It's like meeting some goblin from a shit dimension where on his home planet he gets applause and money and sexual attention for shitting right there on the floor, and now he wants to work at your Fortune 500 accounting firm as a Senior Vice President of Shitting on Floors

          And when you, as a normal human with a typical human brain, are horrified by this and try to put a stop to it you suddenly run into this wall of screaming fans of his floorshitting career and offering their parents' credit card numbers to see more shit on more floors

          Quinto said in the aftermath of all this that he was grateful to have participated in this experience because his emotional reaction to all of it was "clarifying" I bet

          Sometimes, you don't even actually know what your values are until you make the shocking and unsettling discovery that there are other people who somehow actually don't share them
