Brigareindeer General Abdhyius, what is our current fortification situation?
The Second Candy Cane Guard has secured the battlements, and are ready to hold at all costs. Our ten-pounder christmas tree guns are being brought to bear as we speak.
That is good to hear. And the Eggnog Gas Missiles?
(Actually, I don't remember if it was too cold for it snow in that area in the middle of Winter, it was also a very dry area)

There is plenty of art I enjoy - little things that I find on the internet or things that I just randomly find and think it's clever or thought-provoking. This is all what I'd consider common art. It's like that French guy who runs around Paris creating small chalk paintings and whatnot that are rubbed out pretty much the next day.
So, you think it is enjoying. That neither sets a matrix on which the work is to be judged as "good," nor is it readily accessible how it is not boring to everyone else. Especially when your coveted "common man," I bet, wouldn't consider the chalk drawings art. If art is for the common man, then you are not enjoying what you call art. Therefore, you have created yourself a divide between "entertaining" and "art."
Ingmar Bergman hasn't made a movie that is easily watched. Hence it is not accessible to the common man. I like to consider myself pretty tolerant to pretentious artsy crap and I couldn't bear watching a second more of that movie. It was like 2001: A Space Odyssey, I do not understand why I watched that entire thing (admittedly I skipped through the twenty minutes towards the end of FANTASTIC LIGHT SHOW) because it was utter shyte yet so many people hail it as being the greatest work of scifi ever. I do not like these people.
Again, with the elitism. The common man does not like what is not easy and mindless? That seems to be a huge slight against the majority of humans. If art must target the common man, then art must likewise be easy and mindless? That seems like an antithetical definition for "art."
Interpretive (god how the fuck do you spell that?) dance is not open to the common man either. It's 3 hours of somebody in weird clothes moving around to some music saying random words at random times. This apparently holds some deeper meaning. Only pretentious art fucks would agree to this.
Besides the fact that "interpretive dance" doesn't really exist -- I'm assuming that you are referring to modern or contemporary dance -- I fail to see how the "meaning" of artistic dance is anything other than IMMEDIATELY apparent to the viewer. If a deeper schema of meaning and symbolism is less apparent, that does not undermine the immediate appeal of dance. How is the most basic meaning of The Rite of Spring, for instance, not readily apparent: there is differntiation, division, tension, and release. There is obviously something foreboding and dangerous that is about to happen. The stomping, the marching, all clearly show a violent element, which is contrasted with the civilized and naive en-point ballet.

Some delays, sir. I am confident we will have them ready by the time Thanatos will strike. The mean are doing their utmost, sir.

seriously daxon your opinions are cool in the respect that they probably make people like podly and riemann twitch but even if you're trolling to an extent you're coming off as someone with the attention span of a flea
i watched citizen kane for the first time just last night, it was rad
your standards are so poorly defined
Ahahahaha, this is funny cause my friends always tell me I have ADD and get bored of crap that I could be loving the shit out of one second and not the next.
I was arguing with Riemann last night, that was fun as well. Anyhow, I have got a fairly short attention span but so do most people - this would be the reason why TV and instant gratification entertainment is so popular. This is also why I advocate the creation of art and other high culture that can cater to these people (and myself) and being thought-provoking without the boring pretentious long-winded bullshit.
The internet is ideal for this because it promotes this sort of environment as a youtube clip (or whatever) cannot be too long as people wouldn't watch it then so things like indie shorts are kept neat and concise while still being thought-provoking.

Actually we're content with treating those with ferret-style attention spans with cold derision, thank you very much.
It's full of ice and has something very close to the highest per capita suicide rate in the world.
Go Japan! 8th or 9th place, I forget what our most recent ranking is. I do wonder about Greenland's stats though, as it wasn't listed serparately under the wikipedia entry for suicide rates per country, I guess cause it's still part of the Kingdom of Denmark or whatever.
Also, trying to teach Japanese people to sing English christmas carols is frustrating as hell, especially when they insist on trying to read from katakana pronounciations instead of just listening and mimicing what I sing. It's... not... the same... GAH!
They have purobulemes redinig mulitipele conosonanetes
Sometimes I want to just beat a lisp into people. I've always stressed that natural English is more slurred and just flows rather than the staccato pronounciation I often encounter, but it's really hard to make people not enunciate every sound. Then again, they do come from a language where there's not really such a thing as a silent character-- if it's written down, you say it out loud.

Reports are in, sir. Our christmas trees stand ready. The egg-nog gas crews are only calibrating their sights now. The christmas decoration fields have been laid. The mean are ready.

the catch there is that you don't seem to have any idea what "pretentious" or "long-winded" means and are just using them as catchall terms for THIS IS A THING I DO NOT LIKE

I hate that overly slow and precise pronunciation that all the audio clips and CDs that come with my students' textbook use.
No one actually talks like that, and as a result when they hear natural English from me, they are totally lost.

Yeah well I've been playing it.
The Allies and Russians are meh.
But the Japanese are fuck awesome.
Like your cock, for instance.
No that's silly. Your cock is awe-inspiring, domineering, and a spreader of joy.

Didn't you say you wanted to make a web comic about me at some point in the past? Me. I should be the first character.
