| Well of course it is all opinion, i thought i made that clear enough. And you're correct, artists don't have any obligation to behave in any way. For that matter, people don't have any obligation to behave any way either. And yet everybody has an opinion about everything. That point was redundant. T... |

| You're right to a certain degree, but i think that all disorders (i hate calling them that) should be put under that umbrella of seeing things from an interesting perspective. I'm sure many were autistic, but i have difficulty believing that Salinger is autistic, and there are a few others. Hemingwa... |

It is their mystery, and the mystery sur... |

| yeah Ellis is fun to read, but i think his books for me are guilty pleasure reads. They're fun, easy, and they don't require much thought. He pretty much said. All culture is superficial, therefore at the end of my books i'm going to be witty and say that nothing ever changes. If nothing else, inste... |

| There is this commercial in Minnesota about t mobile advertising some plan where kids are free until 2012 and i had to laugh. I mean. What are they suggesting? That after 2012 kids are not going to be free. Ha. Especially in America, such a marketing campaign is so unintentionally anti-american it's... |

| That's the crappy part about art (and this is starting to irrelevent) no matter how hard the artist tries he or she will always be unable to superimpose their art perfectly into the minds of others. It will always be imperfect. No film can ever be called the greatest film, because there are always g... |

| Now, if you were to say that most people haven't seen these movies, but take the critics word for it, and call them masterpieces. Then i would agree with you. . that's kinda what i meant but i didnt extrapolate upon it. I think to say that society overrates movies and to say a lot of people within ... |

| Yeah, i didn't get that, so much. I thought what you said was a valid point, but i just disagreed. I made this whole point in high school, on how though Nick in the great gatsby was supposed to be objective, he was really actually subjective, and no one agreed with me. But i was right. I'm also rath... |

| That's kind of stupid though. I mean, you should never think about overrating and underrating on a social level. Because overrating and underrating isn't social. It's personal. It's not like these movies come out of the womb artistic. It is us who percieve the movie as being good. It is us who rate ... |

I guess, my question is then, how is any of this relevant? And what is it relevant too? |
