Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I have the reverse problem whenever I watch Dead Poets -- I expect KS to yell "Dumbass!" at someone.

I get that feeling during Star Trek VI.

"This President is not above the law. Dumbass!"

(God, I am *such* a fuckin' dork.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hell, I got that feeling when he discovered Neil's body.

"Oh Neil! Oh my son! Oh you DUMBASS!"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

See, my first (and very lasting exposure) to KS was ROBOCOP, so I tend to fear for anybody in his vicinity when he appears (DPS and QUICK CHANGE didn't change that). When he turned up on House as Dave Matthew's dad, it was so refreshing that his character turned out to be (a) non-homicidal, and (b) didn't call anybody "dumbass".

KS saying "DUMBASS!" = Great and High Art

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What Is Art other than the fact that one of the factors that hasn't been mentioned yet is the crucial question of *Who* Is Entitled To Define Art, And Why.

Pffft. I totally addressed that. You must've skimmed over my bloviation.

Did you? I remember you talking about art being defined by the contemporary culture, but I don't remember you talking about who, exactly, within that culture is entitled to define art.
