Something bland, easy to digest. Also: the typical state of modern art and cinema.
First of all, I'd like to say that I certainly didn't mean to suggest that something is great just because
I say so. That would be terribly arrogant. What I was really trying to get at is that there are certain ideas of such grandeur and beauty that they override personal preference. I don't care for Cubism or Bauhaus architecture, but I can recognize the masterpieces of those artforms.
Second, I wasn't trying to get anything started. I apologize if it seemed that way, as it certainly wasn't my intention. I was really just trying to get a discussion going.
It depresses me to no end to think that there is no true beauty in this world, that everything is just in the eye of the beholder. I have to believe that there are such things. It may be a pitiful delusion to cling to, but that's the way I feel. Thanks for your replies, everyone.
