The A.V. Club's definition is not internally consistent. In "The Bunny Game" DVD review, they described the film as "far from artless," which wouldn't be a sensible statement if they felt all films were "art."

We agree on the important point, but I'll defend the "opportunity cost" tangent. You could spend your 2 hours at the movie reading about fixing that sink and then fixing the sink, instead of hiring a plumber. I agree that it's harder to pin down than $17 per hour, but there is still always a tradeoff between work and…

"The real commodity here is time." That's certainly true on the consumer side.

"American Indian" is probably better than "Native American" or just "Indian," but I agree that many American Indians don't care. The best way to go is to refer by the specific tribe / nation.
