As views/downloads creep towards 25,000 full length in 4 months, a friend e-mails me to point out most movies never get seen by anyone and those that do open in cinemas get a few hundred seats on bums before being relegated to DVD.
Vile Pervert; The Musical has been able to be seen and/or downloaded for free online and the result has been incredible - if several people have watched the downloaded ones (about half the total, with a significant quantity of heavy "burn to DVD/R's" - that takes several hours to download) we can reckon on hundreds of thousands and many more have dipped in to watch some but not all.
From my e-mails (much appreciated and thank you) this is having a serious impact on social attitudes.
And we've even sold a few hundred DVDs. |

This mag is entirely responsible for my renewed interest and turnaround of opnion on you.
I only wish your interview was longer.
Same here, it was reading the article in Bizarre that made me actually check Vile Pervert out online. And boy was I impressed.  |

I have to say, not only has the magazine been hugely, hugely supportive but they are very nice people too.
Genuine, honest, bright.
I love their attitude to music - very healthy. I don't "get" the rest of the magazine at all though - completely on another planet. Possibly where I should be!
The important thing is - they at least bother (and dare) to listen (and look).
You'd think "liberal" publications like The Guardian would review the movie or the album, even if they called it rubbish, but every single one seems to avoid any mention at all.
Censorship by silence. That's the ugly reality.
I think the social approach is "don't mention him, he's dangerous".
I don't think censorship enters into it, it's simply of such little interest to most people it doesn't warrant news... no "good story". |

good for you and further proof that your strategy-not slinking off and hiding away-has been brilliant.
Basically you have given the tabloid media a 2 fingered salute and called their bluff, demonstrating that a lot of their power is simply bullying and bluster.
If only politicians realised this as well.
*****************
as for someone who mentioned those working for Murdoch etc-I also know lots of nice people in the media but the problem is they have families and mortgages and aren't in a position to stand up to the rubbish they have to write. Many of them abhor the stuff they have to churn out but have sort of resigned themselves to it.
I think the days of when working on a newspaper was really a thrilling job-the noise, excitement, clamour and urgency to stick to deadlines is well and truly over. |
