They are continually asking Art to be popular, to please their want of taste, to flatter their absurd vanity, to tell them what they have been told before, to show them what they ought to be tired of seeing, to amuse them when they feel heavy after eating too much, and to distract their thoughts when they are wearied of their own stupidity. Now Art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic”. The internet, Facebook and Twitter now offers that chance.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/filmblog/2010/apr/07/film-critic" target="_blank">guardian.co.uk</a></em>http://tumblr.thruttle.com/post/725260437http://tumblr.thruttle.com/post/725260437Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:44:04 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3dw8opX8D1qzp87so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Oh.</p> <p>(via <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/awesomer/an-annotated-guide-to-images-from-the-anti-bp-move" target="_blank">Buzzfeed</a>)</p>http://tumblr.thruttle.com/post/656337729http://tumblr.thruttle.com/post/656337729Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:07:36 +0100<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/11086160" width="400" height="180" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Pretty, sunny pop song with a cute video.

But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize.””<br/><br/> - <em> Oscar Wilde (The Portait of Dorian Grey)</em>http://tumblr.thruttle.com/post/191317820http://tumblr.thruttle.com/post/191317820Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:07:34 +0100<p>Inbox:Zero.
