How do I defend against this onslaught?
If you think about it you might have a flash of inspiration.
Some modern art is awesome though. Like Gormleys work, it's interesting and fun.Quote:

It's not just what it is (a room full of badly made clay men) but what they represent. The field of the British isles was made not just by the artist but children from primary schools and just regular folks that volunteered. If you look closely there's also different shades of clay which I guess represent all the different races in our country too. All together. I think it's rather wonderful and when I saw it for real, it was rather moving too.
So the extent of work by 'the artist' is arranging for loads of other people to make neat little statues, and then taking those cool little statues, and putting them in a room.
Blech. Modern Art. Blech.
That's interesting.
Not sure if I like it. But its certainly interesting.
I think I'd certainly pause to stare.
It's just so spectacular that your completely missing the point.Quote:

on a side note, Guardians of the Galaxy looks a real hoot

No ? He brought people from community's the world over to make these "people" which then traveled around in his exhibition. If you ever get to see it you will also notice a large plaque with everyone's name on it who contributed. There's also a video about its construction.Quote:

mehh, Art is only Art if the viewer believes it is Art, so you are all right and yet all wrong as well....
As for the clay figures, I like the concept, but that guy in charge shouldn't call himself THE Artist of the piece, perhaps the Director would be more correct....
But that's like assuming all the great painters, sculptors, playwriters and architects did all their own work. They didn't.
Anyway. Yes Guardians looks awesome. It was a novel idea for it to be a movie too, especially as so many of the heroes are unknown to the masses.
Yeah, I ain't never heard of them. Someone fill me in. I watched some video on the interwebs that said they were connected to that collector bloke from the end of Thor and that it had something to do with some all powerful gauntlet of doom that looked like something they found when they were clearing out Liberace's glove box. Am I on the right lines? Also, why is Bert Racoon one of them?
:) Yay CBC children's programs. I loved that show when I was a kid.Quote:

Did you not feel like you were waiting for tripods or will smith?
No.
Should I have been?
I think it was Kirsten that hit the nail on the head, like a war film where the enemies just happen to be aliens.
It just felt like another film to me, quite strange.
Nah that film was all about planes.
I thought it was a film about a black man and a jew saving the world, sorry america.
But that one was totally unbelievable.
He managed to get a 90's mac to talk to an alien mothership.
You couldn't even get a 90's mac to talk to a printer...
Yeah, that's him. So he's a guardian of the galaxy now and he has an ent from the evergreen forest along for company and they are looking for one of the stones from Liberace's magic glove. I think I'm up to speed now.Quote:

And on Monday, I shall be the owner of Thor 2 in 3D.
And I am see the sort-of-girlfriend on Thursday.
I r put two and twelve together, and not watch it until his day comes, and have a nice bit sit down with Annabel?
