Ian Simmons launched Kicking the Seat in 2009, one week after seeing Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia. His wife proposed blogging as a healthier outlet for his anger than red-faced, twenty-minute tirades (Ian is no longer allowed to drive home from the movies).
The Kicking the Seat Podcast followed three years later and, despite its “undiscovered gem” status, Ian thoroughly enjoys hosting film critic discussions, creating themed shows, and interviewing such luminaries as Gaspar Noé, Rachel Brosnahan, Amy Seimetz, and Richard Dreyfuss.
Ian is a member of the Chicago Film Critics Association. He also has a family, a day job, and conflicted feelings about referring to himself in the third person.
Critics argue that the entertainment industry documentary is often a parasitic relationship. The industry that broke a star is now funding the documentary that profits from telling us about the breaking. Where is the line between healing and exploitation?
Why?
From the explosive fallout of Framing Britney Spears to the corporate autopsy of McMillions , the entertainment industry documentary has evolved. It is no longer just a "making of" featurette; it is a genre of investigative journalism, trauma recovery, and historical preservation. But what makes these documentaries so compelling, and why are they replacing scripted dramas as the most talked-about watercooler content? To understand the current landscape, we must first look at the origin of the entertainment industry documentary. For decades, the only way to see behind the scenes was through 15-minute promotional reels hosted by a chipper TV host praising a studio's upcoming blockbuster. girlsdoporn 18 years old e432 12082017
