[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb]I disagree with this almost entirely. Those things you list are often beneficial and invaluable to the gaining of a complete appreciation for a work of art, but they are by no means [i]necessary[/i]. Humans are often illogical, ignorant, fickle, and reactionary, but that doesn't stop them from having an opinion. I do not believe that there are any truly objective right or wrong answers concerning the interpretation and evaluation of art. What we all have are our experiences and the tastes and critical sense we develop according to them, all of which are subject to change given the influence of a number of factors.[/qb][/QUOTE]My statement pertained more towards that old defense of "Well, it's just my opinion." as if those magical five words exempt one from the necessity of facts and logic. It's just a personal pet peeve. That's not to say that's exactly what you were doing in this instance or that value judgements of art aren't heavily subjective. But even so, they're subject to a certain amount of reason and reliance on facts. If, for example, you were to say, "I think CGI is fake looking and that's why I don't like [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] but that's just my opinion" then it would still be wrong, based on incorrect information and faulty reasoning, no matter the effect of those magical words, "It's just my opinion."
