So when you don't like something it's a snobby circle-jerk? Maybe some people just like things you don't like?

Ever think that both are possible?  Some art is most certainly a snobby circle jerk. Other times there is art that takes a significant amount of aesthetic knowledge to understand.  Other times it's a snobby circle jerk that takes a significant amount of aesthetic knowledge to understand.

I think I'm more with Miles. What does it even mean to call something a "circle-jerk?" Just seems like a way to dismiss something you aren't into, that other people are into. Are art cars a circle-jerk? Pro sports? Indie music? Pug GIFS?

Nah, it's just a smug way to dismiss the lousy stuff that you like.  Cause all the stuff that you like sucks.  And only bad people like you like it.

And you suck.

Sucker.

I was going to get into how my point was being missed but who has got time for that? I like a lot of those movies (as I said).

The circle-jerk wasn't the movies, it was the criticism.

Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel.

Now that was a weird late night find. Taking it's angle with a grain of salt but still food for thought. Never would have linked Playboy with the civil rights movement for instance.

Also watching Gene Simmons trying to make political arguments is hilarious.

Gene Simmons is political as hell. Of course, he only has the one issue, but still.

I do wonder if he even cared about music when he was like six years old, or if it was about getting paid all the way back then.

If there was a way to be a cynical, mercenary, sexist pig shithead in the womb, Gene Simmons would have found it.

Well, we're on the same page, anyway.
 
Watched the new Wonka and a flick called Chronicle on the plane. I guess I can't really say anything great about either one, so I'll just leave it at that.

Not that I'm aware of, but there was an artcar in this hilariously bad video for a band named D.O.A.
