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.

    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.

    yeah, but nobody made it with the intent of you stepping in it

    that is a very poor comparison.

    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.

    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.

    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.
