I am seriously turning into an art film snob.

It's the only thing I've been watching lately.

I can barely stomach mainstream films these days.

Maybe it's time for me to put away the Gus Van Sant, No Country and There Will Be Blood, turn my back on the obscurities and just watch some fun stuff for awhile.

I just don't want to do that though. I find joy in art films. I am stimulated by searching for meaning behind that which is unique. Is it so bad that I don't really want to use film as escapism? Is it so bad that I don't want to stand for mediocrity just for the sake of staying out of "snob" territory? It's not like I'm an ass about it. I'm not trying to tie people up and force them to watch a Fellini film.

I suppose if it makes me happy, screw everything else. I like what I like.

I'm gonna go watch Richard Kelly's new film.
