Why a Documentary About a Cow Reveals the Limits of an Art FormThe poignant and heartfelt documentary “Cow” is a displaced movie, tnyfrontrow writes. “For all its virtues, its most interesting action isn’t onscreen but only hinted at.” tnyfrontrow they are people who grew up feeding on cow milk, passed 60% of their diners on steak and get excited only by lions, tigers, pumas for their power force energy speed... even by cats the 'indoors lions'... there is nothing to blame of course for personal preferences. tnyfrontrow You could write this about any documentary in which the director chooses - and it is an aesthetic choice - to film in an observational style, keeping the filmmaking out of sight. Seems strange to me to pine for a completely different approach on such a public platform. tnyfrontrow 👎for the film school lecture and critique. Try including the words DitchDairy vegan CrueltyFree. Luma speaks directly to the filmmaker. Incomprehensible that your analysis claims the opposite. In Cow, the drama is utterly poignant and the ideas are immediately intense.

Catholic Church in Encino Shows Support for Ukraine With 80-Foot-Long Art MuralAn 80-foot-long work of art made with colorful salt and sawdust was created at a Catholic Parish in Encino as a message of support to Ukraine. I’m kind of disappointed in my parish because they never mention to pray for the people in Ukraine. Priest seems kind of odd and I believe he’s a trump supporter but oh well, I still pray for them.

Letter: Public art is worth the money – but a landlocked whale doesn’t cut itThe cost of the 900 South roundabout whale sculpture is $100,000. To paint it is another $7,500. Now, mind you, I’m not against spending money on public art. I’m a big fan of it. It’s necessary to the vibrancy of a city and adds character to places that would otherwise be “Anytown, USA.” Don’t get me started on Salt Lake City’s downtown. What I am against is spending money on any public art that lacks creativity, a good design sense, proper placement, and overall interest — like a landlocked whale. 😂🤣😂 It's hilarious to me how much pushback the whale is getting, because the whale is such a cool piece of art. And the discussion it's generating feels like part of the point. I was indifferent to the Whale, but now that its exposing elitist snobbery, I’m all in!
