"I always wanted to make films. I wanted to make Tulsa as a film, but it wasn’t possible to do that, but I made the book, which is like a film. So I decided to make a film. And I had to clean up, because no one’s gonna give money to a junkie, so I cleaned up for the purpose of getting money to make a film. I had done so much autobiography, so I wanted to do something that wasn’t about me at all. I wanted to find out what was going on with kids then. I decided the most interesting idea cinematically was skateboarders. So I started hanging out with skateboarders, and I hung out with them for like three years." Larry Clark at Flavorwire

I was thinking about that as I looked to see what’s on Moviepass these days. Treadmills are products whose creators save money by not expecting you to use them. Moviepass’s creators try to save by explicitly denying you the chance to use it.— Alan Scherstuhl (@studiesincrap) August 25, 2018
