No lie, in just about every episode I've seen, dude always brings his guitar with him to whatever house he's going to. What is he doing, playing an acoustic version of Walkin' On The Sun to calm cats down?

He keeps his cat tools in the guitar case. I saw him on some other show recently, dude's lost a ton of weight.

Movie documentaries are the best. You get to learn cool techniques, as well as how studios can gently caress up your day.

So if a documentary that helps educate people about the criminal justice system and, as you point out, actually helped influence the workings of that system, doesn't count as having use-value -- well then, forget "art", you should probably provide a definition for "utility"

That is a very good point, my specifics on use or utility has to do with immediate utility. A picture of a cat is art, a sweater with that same picture isn't art because it would keep someone warm. That same sweater put in a frame and hung up on a wall becomes art again. For the sake of argument this applies equally to a dumb photo of a cat that your aunt emails you, the classic poster for La Chat Noir and a heretofore unknown Rembrandt painting of a cat that rivals whatever your favorite classic painting is.

Art is whatever the gently caress a person says is art and if not having an objective definition thereof gives you a butt rash then you can salve it with an rear end-first toboggan ride down the slopes of cock mountain.

I don't think anyone here us doing that. The problem lies in the fact you definition cuts off alot of things that are art for the sake of making the definition rather than it making sense.

I think at least some people have the problem I just described, people who have your problem are actually just disrespecting craft (something I define as doing a job or hobby well). I think it's useful to distinguish between the two, but I don't think one is more important or impressive than the other.

I saw Shame on a date too, it wasn't our first date and it was a theater that served booze and that date went rather well (Our first date we drank at a bar and then went back to my pace and watched The Odd Couple, which is an excellent date film).

Long Story Short, Shame isn't as bad a date film as you'd think, assuming you understand your date.
