***Which majority's opinion rules the art?

The answer is: it is the majority that rules the art. You can also call in establishment. When the museum curator decides which painting will be upstairs, and which in the basement - he works for that establishment. When people show up in droves to see one artist, and ignore the other - it is working here too.

I have a beautiful painting by Bloodgood. To me he is more interesting than Innes, but the majority has spoken and I was able to snatch this one for a relative song.

***Here, in the Films Asylum?:))

Ah, here... here we simply express our silly opinions. Some take that too seriously.

***I never count on majority;

We are free to go where our imagination leads us, but it would be naive to deny that during our formative years the majority opinion guides us. It guides us towards Beethoven, Rossi, Ostade, Pasternak. What then? "Nauchishsya shagom, a dal'she - hot' v beg..."

Sorry, could not resist.

***if I did I'd have Leroy Neiman lithographs on my wall, Britney Spears playing in the background. Majority is never a litmus test;in fact I think it just proves the opposite - perhaps real art can be appreciated by few?

Of course, and I feel funny explaining that I meant the majority of those who appreciate the art.

***We'll see, we'll see. So, this kind of makes this discussion irrelevant. Just two polar opinions about a film.

Of course. But I am sorry to state that this Kubrick's work irritated me so much that when it was shown on television, I turned it off.

Perhaps in few years I will want to see it again, but not now.
