Most certainly NOT all films are art. That would be like saying all music albums are art. To me at least, your summer block buster/big budget films are not art because their primary purpose is to make money. You then have your art house and independent type films where you can clearly see that the primary intent was to make audiences think and question themes of the human condition.

Just my 2 cents.

Meh. I think all this "ecopolitics" stuff is just a jaundiced lens reflecting the
guilt of industrialized proles who know damn well deep in their hearts that they're
screwing the planet to death, and their grandchildren will curse them as they watch
all their time bomb catastrophes unfold. I don't think it has much to do with the
plot of the picture. when I saw it, all I could think was "this is every Andre Norton
book ever written". I bet Cameron was reading them in his childhood. I mean, we're
talking 1950s here.

Yes, too bad that wasn't outlawed. Super-PACs are now the ultimate way for elections to be corrupted legally. What a wonderful system.

Not that I see why they even need the money anymore, when both parties have dedicated so-called "independent" networks trumpeting their narrow views of who is right and wrong and How Things Should Be, 365/24/7. Yes, they "independently" climbed into bed with their respected parties' ideologies, and whether you're right or wrong is solely based on whether there's a (D) or (R) after your name, it no longer matter WHAT is said.
When you can find the same people alternately outraged at and then defending something 100% identical, the only difference being which party did it, it's a joke.

For all the umpteen "War On XYZ" the networks love to parade about, I wish there was a "War on the Media". The media cannot be trusted. They say only what they think their audience wants to hear to the extent that there's no point paying attention to them anymore. I think the tipping point was when presidents started getting blamed for natural disasters. Really? So our elected 4 yr term human is now a minor god? I don't think so.

I'd like every reporter/anchor/analyst that presents a biased outlook like that to have a big "LIAR" tattooed on their forehead. At least the politicians you KNOW will do it, they have the letter D or R permanently attached to their name.
"Accused of rape? In the other party? This is an outrage! No cover ups will be tolerated! Prosecute to the fullest extent...oh, what? Our party? This is a frame up! A desperate attempt by the other side to besmirch a good name!"


The first thing we do, let's kill all the reporters.

Love the post Jedi. Full of intense angst and sarcasm.
