Wait, are you saying that Brian Eno's quote wasn't 100% literally accurate??

Importance in art relies not on the art itself but on its recipients' experience of it. I'll use a similar film as an example: this is embarrassing, but I never really thought hard about what it must have felt like to be a slave before I saw 12 Years A Slave. The movie then became important to me because it gave me a…

Honestly, I don't think it should be an issue at all for the art's viewer/listener/reader etc. One isn't hanging out with Parker when watching his movie, and buying a ticket certainly doesn't pretend to support, accept, or even condone the supposed horrific crimes of his personal life. Yes, you could say that seeing…

When I first saw Scott Pilgrim in theatres, with my thoughts focused mainly on whether the film would do justice to its masterful source material, the way Hader pronounced 'Toronto' in the opening line put all my worries at rest and practically promised that I would love this adaption. 25+ viewings later, I can say…

Paul Feig ruined my childhood. I was once walking down the street, and out of nowhere Feig came out behind me and held a chloroform rag up to my mouth. Then he took me to his lair and hooked my brain up to all these machines with multicoloured wires. I woke up the next day in an empty park with all these memories…

Well, it is a music festival. So I imagine there will be a lot of people in the right state of mind for colouring in colouring books.

And to think I believed that tonight I would finally be spared from my night terrors.

Well, fuck you back, Kesha!

Might be an obvious choice, but nothing beats "Asleep" for me.

How come every indie movie is like this now

Ortho Stice?

Huh. Never took The Shape as the type to dig Avenged Sevenfold, but I guess you never know with these things.

Wes Anderson and David Foster Wallace. I am acutely aware that these are probably the two most eye-rollingly predictable choices anyone could offer in this thread, but these are the two guys whose art instantly warms my heart and mind, whose humor and interests seemingly align perfectly with my own. Returning to my…

Bridge of Spies was sooooo underrated. I thought it was one of the very best of last year.

I'd argue that the movie portrays her gothness as a sort of social shield- evidenced by the fact that she lies about lewd and hardcore things to get attention ("My shrink fucked me") and that her gothness is shown more like 'trying to be weird' than 'actually being weird'. This is probably the biggest fault of the…

Enh. I disagree, I've always loved the film, and I went to high school in the early 2010s. Yes, these stereotypes aren't nearly as present as they once (maybe) were, but that's not really what The Breakfast Club's about at its core. It's mainly about the loneliness and insecurity that teenagers face due to the fact…

Well, Nintendo is making a whole day of their conference on the 14th, but they aren't showing anything relating to or running on their upcoming console, so I can't imagine that conference being exactly riveting (even more likely when considering the big lump of nothing they brought to the show last year). If you're…

Wow, you guys have really been throwing out As like candy lately.

I believe it's an homage to the quality of comedy shown in GHOSTBUSTERS' trailers.

There's definitely some glaring crap in it, that's for sure.
