If only movie studios would let us online reporters do what you’re about to watch.
Every time I get to do a set visit, I’m frustrated by the way we report what we see. We’re not allowed to use cameras. We always do junket style interviews. No matter how we write about the adventure, it’s still something you have to read. But when the folks at Empire landed a set visit on director Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, they weren’t there to just write about the experience…they were allowed to use a video camera and they’ve cut together a great three and a half minute behind-the-scenes mini-documentary. You get to see Vaughn, Aaron Johnson, Mark Strong, Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse discuss making the movie and see what it was really like on set. The only complaint about the doc is…you’ll wish it was longer. If you’ve been looking forward to Kick-Ass, you want to see this:
Kick-Ass is out in the UK on March 26, and on April 16 in the US.

God I love the end. “Do you think that this boy will ever be known by anything but McLovin?”
“What does the M stand for?”
Funny director.

I like to read. Especially when the writer takes the time to edit and apply some creative skill in the task rather than just transcribing dialogue from a tape-deck.
Running around with the video camera is the next big step away from the need of any skill at all — and with today's tech putting video cameras in everyone's pocket you're just begging for obsolescence.
The written word is still important, and even if they do become obsolete isn't that just the natural order of things? Like trying to keep using a wagon when we have cars. I don't think that will ever happen, but I do hope that some day literature and the written word will become valuable again, not pimped out by every mouth-breather with a 10th grade education.
When it comes to interviews, a video recording is almost always better – unless the interview is bad, but generally being able to see and hear the mood of the interview makes for a more pleasurable experience. Journalists have never been known for their writing skills anyways, at least nothing special. They provide information in the most straight-forward way possible. Its the fact checking, research and people-skills that make them valuable. They can coax things out of people that wouldn't ordinarily be said.
