Yes, Jeffrey Wright is an acting god but the movie itself? No, thank you. Before Night Falls was good but the editing was just weird. Diving Bell and the Butterfly is the first genuinely good movie Julian Schnabel made; in that the aesthetics match the directing, editing, and acting choices. But this Mastercard ad just seems tasteless somehow. Not that I expected anything more from him. I saw that ad in GQ or something. It just cheapens art and makes it seem like art is about fucking around and shmoozing. And maybe that's what art is to a lot of people but it isn't to me and a lot of people I know. Stuff like this makes it hard to be taken seriously, but whatever. I'm still going to do my thing and say no to all this BS going on right now. Because it goes further than Julian Schnabel.
