[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I agree with so many of these! Here are mine:

Taylor Swift's main talent is business -- she's a mediocre singer, a vastly overrated songwriter, a bad dancer, and has an annoying public persona. But she knows how to work her target demo and she understands PR. She's the Donald Trump of pop music.

The best films of the last 20 years are out of Asia, Europe and the Mideast. American filmmaking is broken (there are some gems but so much garbage too).

Television might be the best, most creative storytelling medium around at the moment. Far superior to film (as it currently stands) and due to problems with book publishing and literary mags, also beating literature as well at the moment. I think one reason for this is that making television places a lot of limitations on creators, and people underestimate the value and importance of limitations on creativity. Deadlines and length limits are actually good for creativity -- they force storytellers to make decisions and commit to them. They force creators to self-edit. And the serialized nature forces storytellers to focus on how to lure in the audience and hold their attention. Television has many flaws, but I think it offers more to storytellers than other mediums at the moment. Too bad many great storytellers reject it as beneath them!

Yup, I'm a cultural snob.[/quote]
