    Why is plain fresh white rice so good?
    Carbs. Delicious carbs.

    That may be my low-carb diabetic brain talking.

    People will take rice from my cold dead hands.

    I also remember my first trip to Japan and the grandmother being so excited I kept finishing my rice and asking for more.

    That's what my dad said.

    His diabetes has gotten worse since then. He's on insulin multiple times a day now.

    It's ok if you don't like what other people call "high art" or whatever. It's ok if you prefer more straightforward storytelling and simpler plots and you don't find movies that require a lot of interpretation and introspection to be enjoyable.

    But c'mon let's not act like ultra glossy, focus group tested, crowd pleasing, commercially-driven marvel superhero productions are thinky pieces of art so that you don't feel bad about your preferences in media.

    I don’t agree with the idea that there are levels of art ranging in value. It’s like saying people have calculable value/worth and I don’t like it on a visceral level. That is all.

    Though there was a doorman at a building in ChicGo who was an older black dude with Jheri curls, A brown jacket, tasteful jewelry, and a vibe that screamed 70s so loudly that it was deafening. He was drinking a beer from a glass with the bottle in his hand that he was pouring into, and was one of the happiest people I may have ever met in my life. I interacted with him three times and every single time was a blessing. I heard Morris Day and the Time every time he arrived and my soul lifted.

    Maybe Chicago isn’t all bad.

    it's nothing whatsoever like saying people have a calculable value, nor does it attempt to quantify the value of art either, in a moral or monetary sense.

    at best, there is an extremely fuzzy, qualitative threshold by which art critics, in aggregate, come to agreement about which works are some combination of affecting, thought provoking, important in the context of society.

    Art is informed by life experiences, and there's a reason for the massive divide between what art critics and connoisseurs consider impactful and what coal mining shlubs like myself find impactful.

    These people often lived charmed lives, I do not. Their agreement is an agreement of people that live so far above me that I cannot even imagine what it would be like.

    So I don't take their consensus seriously, and I really don't care what is academically sound as "impactful" to society because most of the people making the decision on what's impactful just barely live in society.

    Lol Scorsese not liking super hero movies is the least surprising thing imaginable

    I think it was more beyond disliking them, he claims they aren't cinema, and that's just dick bagery.

    I mean I think hes talking about it as a term of art and well....hes kinda right?

    Theyre junk food, and thats fine, but it is what it is.

    I mean

    If I give a shit about the characters on screen and I enjoy whats happening and there's emotional resonance, then I think it's worthwhile art. For me.

    I don't accept the "it's crap but i like it lol" or "GUILTY PLEASURE" excuses people feel the need to make because peer pressure dictates they do so.

    *steps off soap box*

    I mean he called them Theme Parks. I dont' even think that's a particularly strong insult of any kind.

    I think its kind of silly to defend marvel movies as like an every man blue collar cultural thing.

    Theyre carefully crafted, often propagandistic, films mass produced by one of the largest companies on earth for the purpose of hording more wealth and finally killing god.

    Like it was a whole lot of "this isn't our issue, we shouldn't get involved" and like what was infuriating is like our states AG recently won a case against I think Jimmy Johns about non compete clauses! Like there is recent case law that said they are bad and people just accepted they were legal when they fucking weren't.

    And like people are defending a tech bro fuck you "we're disrupting shit!" company because reasons? Like I continue to be mystified about how people are ok with business juggernauts bullying people from making a living because they once worked there!

    I don't especially feel a need to defend the MCU as art even though it is. I enjoyed reading and performing The Bald Soprano and it is clearly art but the two are not dissimilar in that they seek to encapsulate and express emotion and do so excellently.

    That Endgame does it with hope and joy and awe while Soprano does it with an unsettling and diaconnecting confusion does not make one art and the other fluff.
