worm Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think I may have accidentally walked down the 'everything is ultimately pointless' corridor. Cue Neil & Worm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brighteyes Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 He's probably talking more about TV shows like I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! and movies like Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 which I wouldn't consider art in anyway, shape or form.

worm Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sport (unless it's wrestling?) comes under sport, films is what I did mention and the bulk of bands are poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 All good pretentiousness. I'm leaving it here as sport is competive with winners & losers, you can't go yes whatever band won the game and Rooney isn't expressing f**k all when playing football.

llcoolphil Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think it's normal to have a test series and then a one-day series when touring another country. England only typically play Australia every couple of years, and it is an awfully long way to go For people who enjoy cricket, the difference between the one-day game and the test is as different as playing a five-a-side game and a eleven-a-side game in football, or the sevens in rugger.

The Nal Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I can appreciate what they're doing, I just don't think of it as art. The intention of those footballers is to be better than the opponents, the best art doesn't try to be anything apart from what it's (hopefully) expressing Gre's take on it is close to mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worm Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 because of it's 'intention' I think winning can't play any part in art, for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) that day, he obviously had other things on his mind than winning... not sure why, but I look on the head butt as one of footballs great moments Edited February 2, 2011 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed209 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 He was pulling at Zidanes jersey and Zidane said "If you want it that bad you can have it after the match" and then Materazzi said "I'd rather have your whore sister instead".

worm Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 What do you mean? Most art intends to get a point across, commentary/critique of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 no attempt to communicate an idea, or express an emotion, or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) the fact that an artist might not want to explain what they might be trying to emote, doesn't negate the fact that they are trying to express something in the first place and plenty of artists are quite happy to spell it out Edited February 2, 2011 by worm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worm Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 If I were to create a work of art, and for whatever reason, decide to explain why I did it and how I hope it might be percieved, makes no difference to the work of art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
