as an aesthete, why should i be required to do anything other than engage artworks for the rest of my life? i've been gifted with a special sensitivity towards art that should be utilized to its fullest in this lifetime. it's not fair that i should have to work some shit job and let my talents go to waste.

I tell you, mate, Disney was a true master of bare boned, raw, in-your-face narrative. Now, at my age, I keep on watching Disney classics (nothing post-101 Dalmatians) while sipping liquor or smoking pot, and the effect in me is like when I was a kiddo but multiplied by 100.

you've fairly inspired me to return to the classic disney canon at some point in the near future. i think my roommate (who's about as sensitive as a rock) caught me crying during that scene. he probably thinks i'm some sort of huge pussy

Disney is reductive horseshit. I can just imagine the black-vs-white, good-vs-bad garbage of Disney has so infected US culture that there will always be two political parties.

You grossly underestimate the influence "dumb cartoons" have on the populace. Their worldviews are shaped by such things.

Architecture: St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice, also when I was on top of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. I'm Jewish, but those buildings are very special.

Dance: Have you ever even seen really good dance? It's so beautiful and emotive.

And I've just never been moved to tears by a painting. I enjoy the medium, but it's never made me cry.

I do not care how one looks at the other. It upsets me that whenever we want to build bridges between our own same people, there is more rejection from our own than from others.

As said: whatever. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Back to the thread.
