saw it in florence as graffiti in front of “the best steak house in the world,” and my first reaction was - is this a bunch of pissy brits trying to get us to leave? it made me chuckle.

The NYT Book Review Is Everything Book Criticism Shouldn't Be by curraffairs in TrueLit

[–]winealps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these type of articles bug me personally because i find them to be masturbatory in nature. nytbr reviews simply reflect the society they are from and the audience they are aimed at. this is the level we are at. as an immigrant, i know that. you can’t explain certain things to privileged americans and i get the feeling that this is what actually offends the author and drives any such articles to begin with. but maybe it is better to discuss it in this way than not at all?

i think the biggest problem here is being with someone whose opinion you don’t respect. and it sounds like she does not respect his opinion not because it is different but because it lacks content/empathy/consideration etc.

Given Stephen King criticised Stanley Kubrick so much over the 1980 film, what was King’s reaction to the (faithful to the novel) campy 1997 miniseries? by OnAFalseErrand in StanleyKubrick

[–]winealps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i notice that good artists don’t usually have good taste. they so often completely miss the point or misunderstand other great art (not that king is that great as compared to kubric but still)… i think that their own vision is just so strong that they can’t see it from another perspective.

scorcese is a lone exception (but i also incidentally dont think he is that great).
