I always wished I saw Hackers when it was still in #theatres back in the 90s.

Now I wish I saw it even more.

Various #University #professors investigate the phenomenon of rising #aggression and #violence at #theatres and #music events in #Britain and the effects of changing #social values / #CultureWar although these problems have plagued "lower end" music events for decades (more so when #alcohol and #drugs reduce inhibitions) - its why we have had #bouncers at #nightclubs and #raves for years

_The Evening Post_, 5 February 1925:
HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE
The return to #vaudeville at His Majesty’s Theatre has proved a popular attraction with #Wellington theatre-goers, and large audiences have been the rule this week. One of the outstanding attractions on a well-balanced programme is the act presented by that popular comedian, Claude Dampier, and his partner, Hilda Attenboro. Others on the bill are Lorna and Lance, the two Australian juveniles, Pic and Alf, comedy acrobats, the Lecardo Brothers, acrobats, Taylor and Summers, musical comedy duo, Sandrisi and Copelli, dancers, the Megan Brothers, musical clowns, and Miss Lena Jooste, a bare-foot sand dancer.

Theatre Royal, Hawkins Street, Dublin, Ireland. 1910-1912. The National Library of Ireland. No known copyright restrictions.

This seems very significant. Not happy about it, but somehow an inevitable outcome as the cinema industry continues its collapse

“I never thought once I was going too far.”

Hey, Viktor!, a #mockumentary by Cody Lightning, is a #rowdy reference back to Lightning’s earliest days in #movies playing young Victor Joseph in #SmokeSignals.

The film is closing the #imagineNATIVE #Film + #Media #Arts #Festival and will be shown in #Vancouver, #Calgary and #Edmonton as well.
Watch for it in select festivals in the U.S. and in #theatres soon.

Blame it all on sound…

“When sound first came in, that’s when popcorn and all the drinks started and necking in the theatre started, because you could turn away and still hear. You wouldn’t miss anything. In silent films you had to pay attention the whole time.” – King Vidor (pictured), director, producer, and screenwriter.
