[quote name="Fullofkittens"]I keep changing my mind about it. "Where's your tunes, bro?" clearly doesn't defend your tunes. An audience member is obviously allowed to form an opinion about a work, otherwise there would be no point. There is such a thing as good art and bad art and the audience gets to decide. I guess what I'm saying is that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a person who goes out of their way to tell an artist that they suck at art should shut the fuck up and make some art of their own if they know so goddamn much about it. It's one thing to say that a movie sucks and is awful, and another thing to try to demonstrate what a smart and tasteful guy you are by piling on the filmmaker. Good people can make fun of bad art, but it takes a bad person to make fun of a bad artist. Art is hard work... making fun of people is easy, and lazy.[/quote]
