.... They are still Movies, and Movies are films, and films are art.
This is a post by another board member I found interesting. Quote:

sorry man all films are not art.
see White chicks, Disaster movie, and anything like that for any sort of proof you may need. Mindless summer blockbuster fare, are just fun. and to call it artless, I don't know, choreographing a 17 car explosion to fit around 10 20ft tall robots that will digitally be added later, may not be Jane Austin, but it takes a special talent to pull it off that not everyone could do.

Who said art can't be fun? Fun dosen't mean it has to be mindless. Quote:
The more challenging video games have become the harder the programers, or artist have to work. It becomes a challenge, and challenges are good, and healthy for the mind. However for the viewer this mindless art is a regression, or De-evolution if you will. Aren't we supposed to want to challenge our minds, and help them grow? Even in adulthood this should be a goal. Even a show like Mister Rogers neighborhood was good in that respect. His shows consisted of lessions like 'You can't go down the drain', or 'it dosen't hurt to get a haircut'. These were things that are challenging to his target audience, but he presented them in such a way as to entertain as well. We as adults should at least demand as much respect in our entertainment as Fred Rogers gave to his audience wich was children. Last edited by delta; 09-17-2008 at 04:22 PM.. |

like the "_____ movies" *disaster, date, superhero*, even seeing the commericals is insulting to me. they're incredibly lame, trite. just garbage cranked out and made to appeal to retarded 14 year old boys. and while those kids continue to see them they'll continue to be made and those of us that know better will just have to bitch about the decline of civilization on the internet. Now i'm not trying to come off as pretentious or artsy, in fact i'm a pretty big fan of fart jokes. if they're done right, and written well, it can work, hell, southpark has been proving this for the last ten years.

The way you demand that respect is by not giving the film your money.

South park usually has some kind of message or lesson to be learned by the end of the show (at least the really good episodes do). Fart jokes have there place in the world too. Hell I've got a few Myself I could tell you, but I might get banned. Comedy too is an art form, but If I paid to see a stand up comic, and all he did was fart jokes I'd be insulted. You, and I can tell fart jokes, but you, and I aren't going around handing out buisness cards saying we are comedians either. Last edited by delta; 09-17-2008 at 06:50 PM.. |

I'm going to further expand on what you said.

However the people who make these films ought to hold a greater respect for the art form they choose to exploit wich is film. The artist holds great responsibilty with the work they do. It projects where we as a society are intulectually, and Culturally. Again I say, if we choose to support such films what dose that say about our society? It not only speaks bad about the moviegoer, but the film makers as well. Quote:
Me as an artist I have other outlets to express my views, but other people who are not might only have blogs, forums, and chat rooms to express theirs. I understand the frustration, and the need to express, but most of the time it's just drivel. |

This is a post by another board member I found interesting. He then went on to say.. Very good point. Why should a film be made with the sole purpose being to entertain mindless people? That is just insulting to people who are intelligent. The common moviegoer is usually just that..common, but you know what else is common? The common cold, and the common cold is not good. Seriously, who expects or wants a serious GI Joe movie? When you played with your Joes, did you have these intricate plots with twists and turns play everyone's personality like you were in a Shakespearean play? Or did you go and rescue Duke everytime while smashing Cobras good?

Wait a minute. Mindless movies aren't necessarily for mindless people. Some times the best thing a movie can do is allow you to escape reality for a couple hours without being burdened by heavy thought. I'm not a supporter of this movie, but I find it funny how some people are expecting to turn GI Joe into Blackhawk Down.
