I think he's just reciting clichés of mid twentieth century modernism here, where it's the artist's job to be daring and innovative and shake the audience out of its complacency, and if the audience isn't up for that, it's the end of civilization as we know it. Didn't postmodernism take us past the idea that if you're a TV or movie star you're a miserable sellout and the only great art is what's on the fringe?

Posted: 4/25/14 at 2:40pmHe's not saying that the stars have "sold out" at all. He's critiquing a system that reduces an actor to their most identifiable credit in order to make a sale.

Posted: 4/25/14 at 7:02pmDidn't reaching post-graduate status take us past the idea that we need to analyze everything in terms of isms, modern, post modern or otherwise?
