Have you ever found anyone else's notes or highlighted passages anything but silly and obvious? I must be finding books in all the wrong places. I guess it's good for a laugh sometimes.
I agree. I think a Shuttle would be completely out of context in NYC. I can't imagine that one won't end up in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. When I was a kid growing up in DC it was the most fascinating place I'd ever seen. I would definitely make the trip to the Smithsonian to see a shuttle up close. The political power trip going on in NY is insulting.
What Ebert is saying is that a house can never be art because its purpose is to provide shelter.
This doesn't hold water. Nobody said he was a genius (did they?).
I don't feel like I 'won' when I finished Black. I felt disappointed. Sometimes I am disappointed by a painting, often by movies. Black had all the makings of bad art, with some good bits.
Tetrisphere, now that was art.
Brittanica's definition:
"the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others."
Wikipedia:
"the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions"
When I was in high school people would say "Graffiti can never be art" and "heavy metal is not music" and all kinds of silly things like that.
Anyhow we all know he's wrong and stupid.
