Thanks Mike for giving the Burnells a nice free meal on their day ahf.

Incredibly cowardly.

 

[Kela de Thaym]

What a gormless coward but yet completely on brand. If he can't 100% control the message or his image, then he ragequits like a baby.

Mike should call his bluff and continue, leaving the door open to Phil to work with him while he interviews all of Phils connections and detractors.

You could make a unique and entertaining doc on DSP from clips, talking to detractors, Phils previous friends, Panda Lee and even his parents without Phil even being in it.

Phil would just lie anyway, we can predict what he would say. In reality he the boring one in all of this.

 

[Kheapathic]

Oh, gee, imagine my (and every other DSP frequenter's) shock.

 

[draggs]

bugged documentary mechanics dood

 

[bathtubcosby]

No one ever saw this coming!

Yeah I'm kinda surprised by how much people were buying in to this. Dsp doesn't leave his house how is going to allow a whole documentary to be made?

I think that Mike's direction is to try and get close access to the subjects instead of just doing a video about someone without their permission using clips.

Its odd that DSP says it would be filled with his past stuff that he says he doesn't want to be associated with anymore, which I kind of get, but if the whole point of the documentary was to show how much he's changed and how he's a more positive individual, I don't see how that would be a bad thing to include. Besides didn't Clum say in the Gundam interview that DSP would have total control and final say of over how the whole thing would go down? I don't know DSP is just lazy as fuck.

 

[RIPRhongoBongo]

100% he bitched out because he couldn't cut the detractors out

I think the only reason anyone bought it is because Clum already went to Phil's house. Phil hasn't let anyone in his house except to carry things.

 

[Nate Higgers]

Incredibly cowardly.

I know how you feel about the DSP detractors but I have to ask: you can’t genuinely be surprised can you?

 

[TheLastFrogger]

I was in the "thought it was going to happen" camp too. It's the first time in years DSPs ever let anyone in his house, or met up with IRL that wasn't his parents. Was just a little too optimistic I guess.

 

[Rent Tin]

The Boogie documentary sucked, but I was hoping we'd get some more info from the DSP doc. Oh well.

The only time I can remember Phil letting people into his house were the shippers who assembled the bed; and the one proven time Leanna had friends over (while Phil hid in his office). The dude doesn't let outsiders in... the Internet tech doesn't count, as he's a very special case, since Phil can't have a plumber over for the bathroom or dishwasher.

I think that Mike's direction is to try and get close access to the subjects instead of just doing a video about someone without their permission using clips.

I think Phil would U-turn his decision the moment he thought that he could lose control of the narrative. Everything he does is to control the narrative to keep his audience stupid.

He keeps his audience like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed on bull shit.

There's lots of documentaries about Phil that just rely on clips and lore, whatever. He can dismiss them easily as detractor content.

I don't know if Phil can dismiss a "real" documentory maker interviewing his ex-friends, ex-girlfriend and family. It would be damaging to him if we heard from Panda Lee herself that Phil was talking to her when she was 16/17 and Phil's story was a lie. All the narratives that's he's built over a decade could easily collapse. I think that fear would make Phil change his mind.

Phil outlined about 10 ways that this documentory could still continue, he's not shut the door. In reality he's probably realised that Mike is doing something he doesn't like or covering something he doesn't want covered.

Hey @mikeclum, one of the best pieces of journalism in history was a profile of Frank Sinatra where the author was never allowed to speak to Sinatra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sinatra_Has_a_Cold Just sayin.

 

[FamicomGorby]

I guess Mike could just release any footage he potentially has of DSP. Can't imagine he flew all the way to Seattle and filmed nothing.
