Camille Paglia on the Arts and Genius George Lucas

A fourteen minute rollercoaster with Paglia as interviewed by Glenn Reynolds. Her entire construct is worth hearing. Her exposé on our emperor's clothing is as concise and incisive as it gets.

It would if you had grown up in the 60's. I have come to the conclusion that there are a majority of people across the entire political spectrum in such tremendous denial that they could never accept criticism of their own partisan stance. I said elsewhere regarding this video that Paglia would be made the problem for pointing out the problem. I'm certain that is true.

Since she speaks so rapidly, I think it good to get a nice cup of tea and slooow down and absorb what she it saying. This feminist, liberal, atheist, lesbian, author, teacher has an indictment on our culture worth hearing. >> ^kir_mokum:

there is not enough glue in the world to make that make sense.

Horrible interview and interviewee. She may well just feel she has so much to get across that she has to rush through it, but she'd do better to pare it down to something that fits in the time she has.

Haven't seen her interviewed until now, but my guess is that she is just naturally frenetic. I have some friends like her. Gotta be patient . . .

episode 3 is demonstrably shitty and her assertion that it's hated because it's popular is one of the most vapid statements on art i've heard in a long time. the criticism of shock art in the first part of the interview is arguable but seems to pay attention to a very very narrow section of the art world and in no way (imo) can be used to extrapolate any generality about art as a whole or art in america. if this interview is any indication of the "indictment of our culture" in her book than it's not worth the death of the trees used to print it. almost completely useless commentary.
