It's so hilarious. But horrendously filmed. It's so pointless

Note to the Divas' sons everywhere. Don't film your mother in the wrong aspect ratio.

Double widescreen isn't going to work ... for anyone ... ever.

lol, love how he failed to mention that he's her son. But I guess he doesn't want to be known as "Patti LuPone's son."

[CATSNYrevival]

^Why not? Would that make him seem too gay?

[ljay889]

Well he probably wants to be taken seriously as his person.

Well I'm glad it's not "LOOK AT MY MOMMY SHE IS SO GOOD!"

He filmed in the correct aspect ratio, but when he was editing, he "letterboxed" it so he could add those subtitles over the black bar at the bottom. YouTube took his 4:3 video and stretched it to 16:9 automatically, making it double wide.

I think it's a great practice effort, and we're darn lucky to have this series. Patti doesn't seem like the type who would let just anyone film a documentary about her, and I'm sure she was pretty strict about the content included in this series, whether or not it was her son filming her. :-P

Nicely done, Josh.

"Why not? Would that make him seem too gay?"

Possibly to avoid her crazy younger fans from latching onto him, which is something I witnessed first hand. When I went to see Gypsy, afterward a fan girl kept trying to get him to sign her Gypsy poster, but he kept refusing saying "I wasn't in the show" to which the girl then said "But, you're Patti LuPone's son - that's even better". Finally, after much annoyance from the girl, he signed her poster, but once she asked for a picture, he said "No" and jumped into the car to continue to wait for his mother.

"Nicely done, Josh."

If that was aimed at me, I can assure you I'm not Patti LuPone's son and I'm not affiliated with him in any way.

[PalJoey]

No, it was aimed at Josh Johnston.

I loved the disclaimer during the closing credits.
