I'll tell you anything you want to know, but I don't understand your posts.

"one to commoditize" What do you mean ? That's not even English, which is okay.

To save time, what I was trying to say is that I found this to be a VERY
mediocre film about an artist and his boy toy.

That's all. If you've seen it you might agree that this is not even worthy
of discussion. I am doing it because I have absolutely no idea what either
one of your posts mean. Are you agreeing with me ? Or hating me ?
Just wondering, since no one seems to care about this film either way,
and rightly so.

perhaps perhaps but thats the thing with it it asks. you know? if it was about the artist and its boyfriend whats the artist, which is kind of significant of an era. im not criticizing the film. when i saw it it was eerily close to "it".

This "thing" is not just plain awful. I first saw it when I was working at a museum and Hockney was in residence creating a new exhibit that was magnificent. He was a genuinely nice man and treated everyone on the staff equally. I thought it was a marvelous examination into this man who was and is one of the most remarkable artists of the 1960s. He always wore two different shoes, never matched, as well as socks that didn't match.

Having had the privilege of meeting many of the people in this film as they floated back in and out of his life was thrilling, and I think A Bigger Splash is an extraordinary treatment of Hockney's world!!
