“It was a pity that movies and live TV left New York for Hollywood. London theater, movies, television - until (Britain's) money ran out - were always better than ours since the city was the political capital of the country, as well as the artistic and literary one. In L.A. we've always been slightly sealed off from real life. It's no accident that two of our most interesting directors, Woody Allen and Bob Altman, are more or less settled in the real world.” WorldWellsTwoRealCountryPoliticalLeftInterestingCitiesNew YorkTelevisionTvsDirectorsHollywoodTheaterAccidentsLondonReal LifePityArtisticRanBritainReal WorldBobMost InterestingWoodyLive Tv Author:Gore Vidal
“If the picture is not an artistic picture, it's show, like television. Television series are very funny, but it's a collective production. An industrial art. A car is not made by a person, it's made by a group of creators, only to go to the market to buy your cigarettes. That is a car - they are not a big art, they are a little art.” IfsLittlesPersonsArtMadeShowsBigsGroupsCarTelevisionSeriesProductionsCreatorArtisticCollectivesCigarette Author:Alejandro Jodorowsky
“Supreme Court says pornography is anything without artistic merit that causes sexual thoughts, that's their definition, essentially. No artistic merit, causes sexual thoughts. Hmm... Sounds like... every commercial on television, doesn't it? You know, when I see those two twins on that Doublemint commercial? I'm not thinking of gum. I am thinking of chewing, so maybe that's the connection they're trying to make.” ThinkingKnowsTryingTwoCausesSoundTelevisionConnectionsCourtDefinitionsSupremeArtisticMeritTwinsSupreme CourtPornographyGumChewingHmm Author:Bill Hicks
