That said, to say "the goal of a movie should be to entertain" ... that is incorrect.
Movies are for entertainment... and can be so much more.
The art of film (or any art for that matter) can be, and absolutely should be whenever it can, more, even a catalyst for change.
Just because all YOU want out of a movie is to be entertained is not to say that is all the artists involved in making it wanted.
If you don't like "art films" then don't see them. They weren't made for you (the universal you - those who don't like them).
The Coens, like it or not, are artists. Their films speak more than just on the surface.
FMB,
You know how you said certain films are for certain people. Certain posts are for certain people. For instance when I reply to Midnight Douche's posts I have to dumb it down quite substantially. A reply to that dipshit's dribble should not be universally applied to all posters. [Reply]

Indeed. Say it's an MU/KU thread... I may get pretty nasty with a guy like KC_Connection... but it isn't meant toward a guy like Bearcat (just because they're on the same side of the argument).

And no, not everyone ended up with that fate. The father himself ventured out and back. Why not wait and see if what ended up happening, ended up happening? Why not try the radio?
It was retarded.
Spoiler!
Everybody except for the four other people in car died (as far as he knew). His wife was dead. The people in the grocery store had gone fucktard religious crazy. Just because you know, having seen the movie, that help was around the corner, doesn't change that all of those people felt they were completely fucked.
The cool kids, fashion magazines and the odd beltless gangbangers in lockup teach them how to dress.
MTV teaches them what music to like and how they should look at the world.
TV commercials during football games teach them what beers are really good and more importantly, REALLY COLD, because temperature's important when your beer is 99% water and 1% bronco piss.
And critics pick their movies. And Academy Award voters (the same bought-off douchebags who picked Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan for best picture) define what the REALLY good movies are.
Because really, when somebody's devoting all his time to stealing, whoring and being an internet troll, who could expect him to be bothered with thinking for himself?

I'm only picking on the quoted part. I never thought the award voters were bought off.
I think the truth (IMO) is that the third-best picture won. Saving Private Ryan and Life is Beautiful split the vote. Unfortunately, Shakespeare in Love came in with more votes than the others individually and stole the Oscar.
It's pretty widely regarded that Shakespeare was, unfortunately, not as good as either SPR and LiB. [Reply]

As for getting under skin, I'm not the one who took this sniping shit to another forum, 'lil Hannity.
As in everything else, you are a hypocrite piece of shit.
In addition to your other faults, you apparently don't know the meaning of the word "hypocrite". [Reply]
