This video was put up 4 years ago. Does C19 still have a watchable version? I joined the fandom late last year so I never got to see the actual video. 😦
Resurfacing videos …. Was it really four years ago this last popped up?
I think he might be able to stomach it being out there. Everyone has dorky homemade videos, right? Not like it’s going to ruin his reputation!
You know, it’s interesting — at the time I remember a fairly clear sentiment among the fans I knew that posting it bordered on invasion of privacy and a long discussion about whether it was okay to post it or even discuss it.
I think the temperature has changed in four years — I don’t know if that’s because Armitage’s fans are younger or social media are “wearing us all down” ?
IIRC the two guys are Tim Ward and David Massey, who were in 42nd Street with Richard in 1991 I think the video is cute. It should be accepted for what it is; friends fooling around, it was posted by one of them after all.
I think the point is that it was made as a vid of friends fooling around. Now the audience has changed drastically. Is something that was intended for a much different, more intimate audience really something to be shared with anyone / everyone? That was the question we were dancing around (cough) four years ago.
There’s an aspect ratio corrected version on C19
