Wrong. Greatness can BE simple. I’ve already given you example of great simplicity, I can spend days on that. But you’re addicted to Nabakov’s silly idea that greatness must be complex, so you won’t get it.

Much like you’re addicted to not liking Nolan and therefore you insist he’s bad. You’re wrong on that one too. Somebody you should learn to understand that just because you don’t like doesn’t make it bad. It just means it’s not your thing.

Your example of the Bad Company song doesn’t matter because I don’t regard pop music as high art. Even really good pop music. I love the song ‘Johnny B Goode’ but I wouldn’t defend it as great art. Popular art I guess? I realize that this sort of distinction is very out of fashion in the postmodern age. And I gave a very specific reason why I dislike Nolan’s films. Anyway, I sort of like ‘The Prestige’.
