It's cinema, just not worthwhile cinema.

Sure you can. I can smear my feces on a canvas and call the "The Color of Midnight" but that doesn't make it art.

Just because people call themselves artists doesn't mean they are.

At work.

Uhm...... so now we're falling into the "No true artist" fallacy?

As for cinema and movies..... I thought it was all just a business?

It comes off as a bit elitist, but I have to say I tend to agree. It's more comics made palatable for the masses than art. Eh, to each their own I suppose.

What would I have seen Martin Scorsese in? DC fan is he?

People watch whatever they want. I reckon that the film industry is losing ground these days. Good stories have been superceded by CG animations, the old actor trick of punching someone in the face by camera angle  now doesn't need the actorship and the hundred takes for the shot. It has made movie making cheaper therefore more profitable.

But people that like action movies just want explosions, buildings falling and shit. Can one blame them?

Just because people call themselves artists doesn't mean they are.

Why wouldn't your 'Study in Feces' qualify as art?  Who are you to determine who is an artist and who isn't?
