My opinion? Art galleries are bad. Putting art on display with no explanation or context does not help anyone to appreciate it, and in fact it makes a lot of people think that "art" (particularly modern and abstract art) is poo poo. You go into a gallery and see a painting on the wall that's just three horizontal lines and nothing beside it but the artist's name and the year they made it and there's no way you can appreciate it. Yet most people understand the symbolism of flags, which are pretty much the same thing. The only difference is that we've had the flag explained to us but no one ever bothers to tell us what the painting means. It also leads to this false impression of what art even is. There's this stuff in galleries (stupid poo poo for pseudo-intellectual wankers) and that's "art". Things that normal people like (TV, video games, romance novels) therefore mustn't be art, because you'd never see them in a gallery.

Equilibrium’s choreography is painfully obvious on rewatch and the message is about as deep as the rules of a game of catch but if you can ignore that it’s still entertaining.

The "message" is no less deep than the matrix, but the message isn't the good part about the movie, it's all the kickass dumb gun fighting scenes and the part with the puppy.

I think there's a difference between art galleries and art museums regarding that. In museums you're far more likely to see explanations (except for the really tiny stuff that doesn't really need one) but galleries seem to be more focused on selling where the meaning doesn't really matter. Besides, if you asked artists to describe what it was supposed to be you'd get a bunch of vague flowery sounding nonsense.

I prefer not to see the explanations because I think the art should stand on its own but I can just ignore it so it doesn't bother me if it's there. When it comes to art appreciation I despise both the "hurr, I could of done that" attitude as well as the pseudo-intelectual bullshit.

If you really could do what the people selling their art for millions you'd have to be a moron not to do it. After all it's "just a bunch of paint randomly thrown around/fingerpaint/etc". When you ask them why they don't do exactly that they always say something stupid like "I like to actually work for a living pal" like there's something noble about working at dairy queen or whatever.

art galleries should give you a marker when you go in and if you have a good idea what a painting is about you can write on the wall next to it.

in the end i think trying to understand the art is missing the point of why you're in an art gallery. Just say "hmm yes interesting" a bunch because the only reason you should be there is if you're trying to get laid by someone interested in art.

I think people go to art galleries because it makes them feel feelings. I mean, for people who aren't dead inside, obviously. I don't go to art galleries.

But I did feel some feelings when I went to the Linderhof palace of king ludwig the second. This guy had so many drat cool thrones and a dining room table that ascended from the bottom floor and I was like "yes, this is how I want to live". I even asked the guide where I can buy a blinged out throne like that to use as my computer chair and he thought I was joking. I would totally blow a lot of money on an actual golden throne to shitpost from, but apparently they aren't in high enough demand to be readily available.

art galleries are typically for people with an interest in art, the same way that people with an interest in a certain sport go to certain sports games - of course anyone who wants to see something new can jump right in if they want but they should be aware that resources to make it a more accessible experience are limited if it's your first time going to either you might feel lost and want a little more explanation about what's going on but generally it's on you to familiarize yourself a little beforehand, unless you're going with someone who knows what's up and doesn't mind talking or whatever

PHUO: In the last 100 years or so commercial art stands toe-to-toe with high art in terms of depth of meaning by sheer virtue of the proportional accessibility it has to a global audience, to the point where high art is largely a waste of time and effort. There's the argument that high art is able to circumvent the idiocy inherent to appealing to the lowest common denominator and make more taboo statements, but I would argue that the bourgeois and upper-classes that fund high art create a similar layer of patronized idiocy with its own set of tastes/taboos. That isn't to say there aren't exceptions on both sides of my view, but for the most part I believe my perspective holds.

I don't like how modern superhero movies need to have ridiculously buff bodies. Why are actors eating chicken and broccoli for 7 months and doing Crossfit 5 hours a day for a dumb movie? What happened to normal looking heroes like Jason Bourne. There's no reason for Star Lord to be so buff. If he's a Harrison Ford ripoff then he should have the same physique as Harrison Ford in the 80s. He looked good but didn't have veins popping out of his arms.

Ford was way better looking than Pratt. Pratt is still really good looking, but Ford didn't need big muscles to be a heart throb. Without muscles Pratt just looks like your kinda good looking bartender.

Also Chris Pratt got buff initially to play a Navy SEAL in Zero Dark Thirty and has looked like that ever since.

Christopher Reeves looks good as Superman and so does Michael Keaton as Batman. So did Val Kilmer and George Clooney. They just looked like fit and healthy dudes and actually look relatable. Basically like peak level athletes. Someone like Aquaman looks like a walking meat stick beef burger. e: most importantly, I'm sick of TV interviews asking them how they got into such great shape. It's the same loving thing every time. They eat lots of lean meat and fish and broccoli and then work out all day every day and yes it's boring.
