***Different strokes and all that. I freely admit i like trash - as long as its intelligently written.I don't understand this. If it is intelligently written, then how can it be trash? Remember, art is NOT in subject, it is in the means. When Rabelais writes about excrements and vomiting, he does that so it is art, however low the subject might be. The same subject in Dumb and Dumber is trash because the whole movie is trash and the writer inept.
Most of what we consider art as opposed to trash, has to do with some pretty mundane subject - maid washing dishes in an old Dutch masterpiece, a prostitute, a bloody battle, a cattle and the dead fish... Most of high literature describes simple people and their simple deads, not Gods doing their godly stuff...
So the subject can shock us, but its mere nature doesn't turn artwork into trash, the lousy means do,
***I was watching the x-files the other day and Scully used the word "obfuscation". Now seriously, how often on network tv or even in movies would you hear a word like that used without making some stupid joke out of it?I guess, that entirely depends on the movie. The whole network TV stuff, unfortunately, is just that, trash.
