Matthew M doesn’t realize that a half star is actually an emotional response and if it took him 15 minutes to write something, that movie had him THINKING. Thats what Art should do. Art can be something you HATE. That is an emotion. Art is suppost to make you feel something, and feeling something at the extream makes it pretty fucking good Art.
Yeah and if i made an art panel that tricked people into stepping in shit id be an asshole, not an artist. I hear the same sentiment of your argument all the time and i think it is utterly ridiculous.
So a better analogy would be your cat puking on you in the middle of the night? It’s a highly emotional performance that’s audience interactable, top shelf art.
So you’re saying they made this movie with the intent of being shit filled with advertisements and to feel like a waste of 90 minutes? Throughout the whole creative process, that was the goal?
feeling something at the extream makes it pretty fucking good Art.
Uh, no. A good movie should make you feel something at least close to an intended emotion set, or at least get you thinking about its content.
I’m gonna venture a guess that nobody intended for the reaction to the movie to be someone having trouble thinking about how to write a 0.5 star review for it and then quit and tell other people not to waste their time.
The people watching yet another rehash of war of the worlds are not going to be (for the most part) art snobs. When the audience that would bother watching this watch it and say it sucks, I fucking believe them.
I haven’t wasted my time because I heed warnings rather than touching hot stoves.
Nah. This is like forcing film students to watch Wavelength and having a “Gotcha!” for every variation on “This is bad and you should stop.” The fart-sniffing version of when bigots sneer “Accurately labeling my behavior proves my point.” The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
For contrast: I kept a copy of Bill McKibben’s “Enough” on my bookshelf, because of how much I hate it. Neo-Amish cloud-yelling, covered in angry scribbles and post-its until halfway through, where I gave up. I have watched Italian blacksploitation movies to script an amateur MST3K knockoff. I am familiar with negativity as a response to art.
This is someone rolling a movie around in their mind, looking for any way to connect with it, or to share their experience of it, and finding absolutely nothing. All they can offer is a polite warning.

Stepping in shit makes me feel something, but it is not art.
It’s a readymade interactive art piece. That will be 30 million dollars.
Sorry, you need to tape the poop to a wall for it to be art.
Or put it in a can
Why did I read that entire wiki?
Someone fork up 150k please and find out if he actually shit into the can.
It’s a companion piece to Fountain by Marcel Duchamp.
Fountain: #2
yeah, but nobody made it with the intent of you stepping in it
that is a very poor comparison.

Anything coming out of Hollywood is not art either, so the point is valid.

By this definition, performing a genocide is art.Edit: I have been informed by replies, thank you.
By this definition, performing a genocide can be art.
Also, this post was art because I pissed off a bunch of people to the point that they were compelled to respond.
No, this post doesn’t say everything that you hate is art, it says it can be art.
i mean if you do it with a silly enough hat i guess it can be, but i dont want to test it
I thought Hitler was supposed to be middling at best…
Plenty of other dictators were way more effective mass murderers. I’d argue Hitler was middling at best.
wow, are you for real? get a grip dude and learn some nuance.
I wouldn’t consider 90 minutes of product placement “art” but that’s just me.

oh man, that is good
just talking about things someone wants to call art and others don’t. and it makes you emotional because why else spend so many words
in a shitpost
Language is a tool for communication.
If you aimed for something too shitty to be taken seriously, your view of humanity is insufficiently shitty.
mind bleach @ shit just works
