What a joke. That they've been fighting to have this piece of junk forced on the museum tells me all I need to know. I sure hope they put in a McDonald's in the nearest entry, you know, so they don't look all hoity toity.

That recent "art" has denigrated the history of art shouldn't be an excuse to have a movie prop considered art.

That statue is more artistic than many of the things we fund through the NEA.

Uh, whatever, man.

What's funny to me is that much of what we consider 'art' from ancient civilizations was hammered out by 'craftsmen' who worked from given templates or drawings and were no less copying an 'image' to make their object than the sculptor who made the Rocky statue.

First, define art, then tell me why this statue doesn't fit the definition. BTW, do you know that film is an art form or do you pretend that multicolored window panes (one piece I saw in the Philly museum) are art while film which is the culmination of the visual, the aural and the written is not?
