I don't actually giveth a flying fucketh if you like
this movie or not, dunny.

This world is full of people who think differently
than I. Most of them have dumbass opinions,
and its all good.

I mean, you like it for personal, subjective reasons.
That's fine. That's your right.

At least you're fair about your opinion -- you're not
actually trying to manufacture a reason why the film is
good. You've all but made fun of your own opinion. I dig that.

Hell, I like all sorts of shit no one else likes.
I thought 'The Mask' was Jim Carrey's best film, by
far. I feel that way for personal reasons, and as far
as I'm concerned, that's all I need to like it.

I'm not, however, going to construct an organized theory
as to why 'The Mask' was a "cinematic epiphany." That is what
the Latte crowd does around films like EWS.


So no,

Miss with that shit, fam, and no, you
intro to the philosophy of art lecture isn't necessary
or wanted here. EWS got shit to do with 'Bitches Brew'
or the Museum of Modern Art.

I don't want to discuss "what art means," especially
with y'all.

And even if I did, it wouldn't be relevant here.


Thanks.
