Is AMV-making considered an art form?

[BasharOfTheAges]

The eye of the beholder.

Am I arting it yet?

[dreamawake]

I'll kick you in your groins and it will produce tears in your eyes and anger with pain in your heart.

Is that art?

Also, I start to hate that hypocritic phrase "just my two cents", what I actually read is "Well, that's my opinion, it's right and you can go die in a fire for I don't care about you at all".

Man, if I collected all 2cs from these people, I'd be a kajillionaire.

There's nothing hypocritical about the phrase "My two cents". It's the same as saying, "that's my opinion". It's just making a statement. |:

That phrase, added to a paragraph, makes it hypocritic, you know. Everybody already knows that it's your opinion. It's like shouting it away to make sure nobody attacks you and everyone gets that your opinion is the best.

'Good' is subjective. Therefore, only accepting 'good art' as a defining characteristic of art isn't a tighter definition whatsoever. You can talk about design elements, and all other fundamentals of 'art' but those are just guidelines for making something more appealing - those elements don't actually constitute something to be a form of art.

:3

i don't think anybody would accept 'good art' as a defining characteristic of art.

i didn't talk about design elements or fundamentals of art.

i therefore refer you to my previous response to godix, and trump your somewhat creative (and presumably therefore artistic) characterisation of my entirely subjective opinion with the majestic, naked bear grylls.

I know right? I mean, they could spend those two cents on a one minute international call to, umm, Canada, maybe.

But I can see where ya coming from, where stating my two cents can be hypocritical like if the person didn't want to be attacked, why would said person say said opinion? But then again, the person can just be acknowledging the other opinions and stating what the person's view may be and just belittling their own opinion so they won't (try) to offend anyone. But again, it would probably depend on what the opinion is based on.

For example, oh hey, just my two cents, wouldn't be faster if we go route B instead of route A? Yeah, but route B doesn't have a Jack in the Box. Oh. Okay, route A sounds much better then.

On the other hand, it can be used just to make sure nobody attacks you, but still acknowledges your opinion. It doesn't really have to mean the person thinks it's the best opinion, but the person just wants his opinion seen.

For example, this is just my two cents, but Dragon Ball Z sucks.

There are probably other ways of using the phrase, but those two just come to mind.

On the subject of AMVs being called art, what TOHH and others said.

i don't think anybody would accept 'good art' as a defining characteristic of art.

anyway, this is probably a dead end, it's going to be the same old 'there is good art and bad art' vs 'it has to be gooood to be art' crap.


...


it has to be gooood. so ner.

Pretty sure this implies your stance is that it has to be 'good' to be art.

i didn't talk about design elements or fundamentals of art.

Just taking pre-emptive steps. |:

i was pointing out that you re-stated my position as offering a circular definition of art, which is not something i've done :/

at the end of the day it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference, there are only opinions.

i don't think we can make this into an argument

[godix]

i just don't like the way the term is used so loosely - since by your criteria you may as well apply it to everything, and then what use is it?

Even if the definition was tightened up, what does it matter? It still boils down to if you like AMVs you'll like them regardless if it's art or not. If you don't like them then labeling them as art won't make you like them.

i'm not sure what your point is, but that won't stop me from refuting your argument thusly:
