anything that happens in the art world

the art world is a dead zone. burn it all to the ground. so empty. rich people fussing over their hair. make every museum a Target.

nah we don't need any more Targets

I always thought the point of this thread is "This is something I simply am not devoting mental energy to, without implicit judgement" and less "fuck this stupid stuff that people love and the people that love it"?
yeah this is exactly where i was coming from, e.g. i watched series 1 of stranger things, it was fine, people lost their shit, they want everyone to really really love it, i just don't care.

i didn't care about twin peaks at all. didn't watch. didn't read about it. despite being a fan of the original show and lynch. i am just not a reunion fan.
― scott seward, Friday, 27 October 2017 21:04 (six years ago) link
every Lynch fan should watch it

Re art world, don't want it to burn, not angry—I just don't care. Yes it's corrupt, that's not what bothers me. In fact, I'm much more concerned with corruption in banking, where I care a lot.
I think I just realized a couple years ago, while going through the motions at a friend's opening, that I've never felt any emotion toward a painting at all, not even technical admiration.
Guess I've just lost the energy to fake it.

I care a lot up to about Monet. After that it gets rough. I have no idea where to find good contemporary painting. It feels like paintings are hardly needed nowadays.

yeah scott the new season of twin peaks is anything but a 'reunion' (at least as that term is most commonly used i.e. more of the same). you'd probably dig it if you really dislike reunion/nostalgia wankfests, and especially if you're a fan of later Lynch.
― flappy bird, Friday, 27 October 2017 21:28 (six years ago) link
also yeah i liked Stranger Things last year & will probably watch the new one but the over the top adulation was depressing... how long are we going to have to live thru 80s nostalgia? I Love the 80s aired 15 years ago ffs
― flappy bird, Friday, 27 October 2017 21:29 (six years ago) link
xxp the thing is that usually I care a lot about what rich assholes spend their money on
― it me, Friday, 27 October 2017 21:29 (six years ago) link
i will no doubt watch twin peaks. if its on hulu or netflix. i just didn't care about it before, during, and after like all the peakheads.
― scott seward, Friday, 27 October 2017 21:51 (six years ago) link
i do think david lynch is the coolest. after all these years. i can't think of many american filmmakers i even care about any more. which fits on this thread too!
― scott seward, Friday, 27 October 2017 21:53 (six years ago) link
if its on hulu or netflix
kinda doubt this will happen tbh
― Οὖτις, Friday, 27 October 2017 21:57 (six years ago) link
the old twin peaks is on netflix.
― scott seward, Friday, 27 October 2017 22:02 (six years ago) link
Unless you still get Netflix dvds. ;)
Things you just don't care about: Halloween cover bands

Needed?
Art world = the big money big gallery art world?
There's so much great art today, it's just scattered all over the place and can be challenging to find. I rarely go to art galleries because I just don't trust them to have anyone interesting. But I find a lot of new artists who are really refreshing, perhaps partly because they're not part of some bigger scene. I haven't been keeping up very well but it always makes me feel good when I do. As a fantasy fan, it's always more exciting than anything in film or comics.

I'm watching twin peaks s1 for the first time right now, will probably watch the new one when I'm done
― brimstead, Friday, 27 October 2017 22:56 (six years ago) link
oh wait there's a season two a well. and the movie. I'll have to watch those before I watch the new series. How riveting is this post

One thing I think is truly in the spirit of this thread: people's medical problems, their adventures in finding doctors, their opinions of different hospitals, what procedures they had done, etc. Maybe this changes as you get older? I cannot fucking stand getting trapped into one of these conversations. To me doctors are auto mechanics, I want them to fix the problem so I can be on my way. I'm not going to discuss new brake pads in detail with my friends.

I don't care about most of the things that I ostensibly care about but since I almost never get to bond with others, including close ones, over the things that matter to me the most, I basically care because I need contact.

Really though what is it with well-off older white people, talking about internists and hospitals like they're fucking restaurants?
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 18:05 (six years ago) link
well they start spending as much time there as they do in restaurants, make sense

i know a lot of people who talk about their therapist, wearing their "dealing with their issues" like a badge of honor.
― drejelire, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 18:29 (six years ago) link
yeah, there's something a bit disingenuous and maybe narcissistic about that kind of talk

I probably could have worded it better, what I meant was I don't really care to read a thread on ILX where men talk about masturbating in front of women - their motivations, their experiences etc.- then vote on it.

Keep it up with the pet pictures, it's not overrated, it's something the internet does well.
