A friend of mine had a silent film playing in a show down town. They had live music playing to the films so I thought it could be fun.

So there were no films about gay cowboys eating pudding?

Armature show? Huh?

DD, I could have saved you some time and told you that you are WAY too conservative for performance art.

Motors

Not very practical. The engine's blocking the view.

practical smactical as long as it's cool. Have Hotwheels ever been practical?

The thing has two supercharged V8s in it, what difference does it make if you can't see where you're going?

they should just move the driver seat to the middle of the car

Ed_McCarron · « **Reply #11 on:** October 13, 2005, 04:27:56 pm »

Besides, wrong kind of motors.

Armatures = electric motors.

Stingray · « **Reply #12 on:** October 13, 2005, 04:32:04 pm »

But not as cool as a full sized Hot Wheels car.

Ed_McCarron · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2005, 04:35:28 pm »

Well, maybe not -that- cool.

But it is still pretty cool. Theres a fan on the front.

Stingray · « **Reply #14 on:** October 13, 2005, 04:36:14 pm »

So there is. I retract my previous remark.

DD,

Forget about the arts, maybe you should just avoid trouble your grey matter with these posts.

Should you be trusted, now, as a fine arts critic simply because you bothered to slog your way out to a coffee house to watch some locals put on a little show. How open-minded of you that you'd then you use that experience as an example of the 'Performing Arts' in general?

Give me a break. Have you ever taken a trip to your local symphony? Local art museum? Local theatre? Local design studio? Local dance studio?

I'd imagine, when it comes to creative talents, you, sir, are a rank "armature"...maybe you need to broaden your horizons and see some real works. Or maybe, better yet...you need to stay home and watch the TEE VEE.

Just note that there's a big difference between the calibur of work that comes out of a COLLEGE STUDENT (like you said your GF was) and what comes out of seasoned experienced professionals.

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #20 on:** October 13, 2005, 07:46:04 pm »

True dat.

I was a Fine Arts double major, graduated with a BFA (Bachelors of Fine Arts - Graphic Design/Electronic Art)...and I can honestly say I would never use my experiences in college as a barometer for what the Fine & Performing Arts is all about. Certainly gave me a lot of respect for various forms of creativity, but most work in that environment is NOT indicative of the professional world, nor would I be so foolish as to act as judge, jury and executioner regarding "Art."

A world without art...what's the point exactly? No music, no dancing, no painting, no sculpture, no architecture, no automotive design, no television shows (writers, performers), no movies. Me'thinks DD takes a LOT of this stuff for granted.

The PoS I saw last night was preformed by seasoned experienced professionals.
