Hey, looky here, somebody admitting to liking both art and porn... good for you. It would seem most of the art-types are too stuck up to admit to liking porn, and the porn types, well, they're too busy to admit to liking art (or something). I would disagree that porn is necessarily objective (which would automatically make it subjective) but perhaps most of it is and thats why...well... lets discuss the collection and not porn itself...
First off, trying to lump these together is like trying to put together legos and megablocks... you can do it, but they really don't fit well- thus I feel your opinion is a bit unfair to a few of the pieces here.
In particular, "Hoist" was incredible. The cinematography was perfect, which is odd because to my knowledge, in the past Barney's films were all about symbolism and a camera that was a little shaky wasn't a big problem. And talk about symbolism, you could try to interpret this a million different ways, but I think its pretty clear that Barney had an idea here and wasn't just throwing out random junk and pretending it to be symbolism. I wouldn't expect any less from him, either.
Balkan Erotic epic a comedy, and it did get a few laughs out of me
We *beep* Alone was interesting and effective in creating a mood, if not altogether pointed.
I didn't really like "Impaled," despite my fondness for Clark and his raw style. It just didn't have any authenticity to it, and his style without the heavy realism suddenly looks amateur.
The rest probably aren't worth mentioning, as I would agree that they are kind of pointless. However, you always have to commend somebody willing to push boundaries, even if doesn't end up working out so well.
