A Great Movie for people with no taste!

If you never go to the movies or take in a show, this one is for you! You can project all of your bad taste onto one, big, fat movie with your favorite "hot" stars that you know so well from TMZ looking really awful and singing badly. See! The cameras shoved down actor's throats! Hear! The tentative froggy Russel Crowe not sing for 3 hours! Behold! The beautiful Anne Hathaway glamorously expire in the first act! Witness! The disasterous mis-casting of a baritone in a tenor part! Enjoy! All of your bad taste in all things all at once: obnoxious camera-work, pedestrian CGI, the worst score to ever win prizes, all in dolby digital! Only in theaters!

I did not like this film however, if others do like it I couldn't care less. I am not invested in the whole thing. Who cares.

People who care about the function of art in society, about morality, about modes of representation, about emotions, about the nature of judgment, and much else, that's who.

Pretty much. Quality lacks in America on an epidemic scale.

[–] sueb1863 12 years ago

It's not a Hollywood nor an American product.

It's a British film made in England and Europe by UK production companies.

Universal was the distributor but they had nothing to do with the making of the movie.

No, because what I said is true. Quality lacks in America period.

I don't give a damn about how my personal taste is perceived from others. Whatever pleases me, I'll go on praising and enjoying it. You're welcome to disagree and have your own taste, as well. That's the reason there are so many forms of art, for example, or so many food recipes and ingredients. Diversity is good.
I just think it is an absolute waste of time to go around and preach you're superior on such subjective topics.

Would you care to hazard a guess as to why Thomas Kinkade paintings are not hanging in the Louvre?

No, this is not part of my post.

[–] sueb1863 12 years ago

The Louvre's collections only go up to 1850:

Thanks, but I've been to the Louvre (and am already a huge fan of the new branch under construction in the Middle East, due to open in 2015). I was referring to the special exhibitions. You'll never find Kinkade there, either. Or at any other fine museum. Can you guess why?

No, this is not part of my post.

It's been designed by internationally-renowned architect Jean Nouvel and promises to be one of the most sublimely beautiful of his creations. Obviously, I don't know what it will look like when it's completed, but the computer-generated models are striking.

Sure. You can see both interior and exterior views here.

If I liked them, I'd hang them in my living room. That's the point: there are masterpieces which are - generally - universally acclaimed as such. And then, there is the undeniable fact that each and every person has the right to think/prefer whatever pleases them. Without being offended for it.

[–] MelanieSwift 12 years ago

What you do or don't hang in your living room is of no consequence. Plenty of ordinary living rooms are lacking in taste.

I don't know what gives you the idea that people have the right not to be offended for their taste, lol. Critics do this all the time. Unless you've been living under a rock all these years, you will have noticed TV shows and magazine articles featuring aesthetes who give people cosmetic makeovers, wardrobe makeovers, house makeovers, and so on. And those are just examples from the world of consumption. Since all art is an exercise in judgment, all art is open to criticism.

Your definition of "masterpiece" is tautological, by the way. A masterpiece is not a masterpiece merely because almost everyone seems to think so.

I don't care for this movie. People like you take movies way too serious.
