    everyone applauded
    everyone said it was fantastic
    everyone called it "art"
    and I... well i just laughed. If you want to see burning hatred,
    laugh at an artists' work- in their face. I imagine it's equivalent to
    not believeing in Christ your entire life, and then when you finally make
    it to the clearing at the end of the path and he reveals himself to you,
    tells you you are going to hell for not trusting in him and you just laugh. "This isn't art."
    I said,
    This is like the guitarist for Blink 182. Someone who wishes they were good
    at something. He cannot play a guitar, he makes shitty music to help push
    shitty products put out by shitty corporations soley for people with shitty taste.
    Not only that, but he's destroyed the image of the Fender Stratocaster. No one
    should even look at a Fender Stratocaster and associate it with that whining maggot
    talentless lackey. People look at a Fender Strat and they should want to touch it with the
    ease of Clapton, or Gilmour, but mainly because Hendrix immortalized it. When you picked
    up that camera it was because you wanted to see something the way Kubrick or Spielberg
    or Coppola did. Instead, you fumbled it like a greased ball in the rain. What I saw
    presented to me today was shit, what I saw was mere Ed Wood.

    the praising ceased
    the applause died
    all eyes were on me, cruel and unforgiving, just like the words that had shot out of my mouth
    and twisted in that small, crude, pink mass of brain. I guess I was alone, but atleast
    I knew I was right.

    this was inspired by an aquaintance who was talking about freshmen filmmakers presenting absolute shit.
