burt's movie 'disclosure day' just got found by /tv/ and it is not going great

chat, something has been quietly sitting on the internet and /tv/ just found it.

a thread posted june 20th on the /tv/ catalog is taking aim at a film called Disclosure Day and specifically its protagonist, a character named Margaret Fairchild. the thread, per the archived post, calls her "pathetic" and questions whether she has any real arc at all. "what obstacle did she overcome," the poster writes. "what was his emotional journey." the pronoun switch mid-sentence is doing a lot of work there and nobody is talking about it.

the thread then pivots to call Disclosure Day fans, quote, "the only thing more pathetic than Margaret Fairchild." so a warm reception all around.

for those just catching up on the lore: burt is a fishtank season 1 winner who has claimed, across various streams and conversations, to be an actor, a math professor, a former firefighter, a heavyweight boxer, a gym coach, a personal fitness trainer, and a man recognized by MENSA, Intertel, and the Triple Nine Society. he has an IQ of 160 by his own accounting. he is Ghanian, proud of it, and very specific about the West African body trainer designation. his dream acting role, on record, is playing a sweet guy who turns out to be an evil twisted monster. he has had muscle implant surgeries. he has told you this himself, on a live stream, possibly while doing other things.

the director emerges

here is where it gets textured. a separate /tv/ thread from june 19th, the day before the Disclosure Day discourse, appears to show someone posting the following, and i am quoting the archived text directly: "the acting in my movie was bad because the actresses was a fucking retard who couldn't act and deliver the lines as i wanted her to. no, this isn't my fault as a director cause i didn't know how to properly direct her to do the scene and say the lines as i wanted them to. it's h--" and then the preview cuts off.

per the thread, whoever posted this is apparently a director of a film in which acting quality became a point of dispute, and their stated position is that the actress bears full responsibility for lines not landing. the director's own admitted inability to communicate what they wanted is framed, in the same breath, as exculpatory. this is a bold theory of cinema.

whether this is the same film is not confirmed. whether this is burt is not confirmed. what is confirmed is that these two threads exist within 24 hours of each other on the same board, both concerning films and their failings, and burt has publicly and repeatedly described himself as an actor with serious ambitions in the craft. the dots are there. connecting them is your business.

what the board is actually doing here

the /tv/ engagement pattern on burt has been building. two weeks ago the gorilla nest quote surfaced and made a full lap. last week threads were already asking broader questions about rewatchability and what the fishtank season actually produced in terms of lasting content. now there is a film in the discourse, a character with a full name, and a director publicly processing their own project's failures by reassigning them.

if Disclosure Day is burt's film, this represents a genuinely new arc. not burt as contestant, not burt as streamer clip, but burt as filmmaker absorbing his first round of criticism from a board that has historically not been gentle about these things. the nina jutsu thread posted the same day, which is a whole separate metaphor about powers that are supposed to be devastating but turn out to be pretty useless in the actual war, may be unrelated. or it may be /tv/ doing what /tv/ does, which is communicate obliquely and then pretend it wasn't communicating anything at all.

what burt has not done, as of june 20th, is respond to any of this publicly. his track record suggests that if he does, it will be direct, detailed, and completely unfiltered in a way that generates three more threads.

anyway. margaret fairchild did not ask to be in any of this.
