My Soul, My Brain
Apr. 22nd, 2007 04:26 pmIt's cascading evils to make me scream and then run in horror.
1. We all know who Thomas Kinkade: Painter of Light is, right? It's bad enough that people actually buy his "art" and put in their homes. It's bad enough that he has stores in every mall and is one of the most "famous" (read: quantity of buying and how most artists make shit). Then there's the whole thing where he gets drunk, gropes women, and pees in public to mark his territory. (OMG, his four daughters all the middle name "Christian" to prove his love of Christ.)
2. They're making three movies about the magical world of his paintings. The first one, The Christmas Cottage, is being released in December. Jared Padalecki of Supernatural incest brother pain fame will be starring as the Painter of Light himself.
3. Fandom then went and did this:
kinkgasm. Yes, it's a comm to write slash about the Kinkade movies. Not RPS, but Kinkade/m fic. And then there are people going back to my disgust about #1.
Now I really want to see what actual art is going to be displayed at my local art museum. OMG, it's a Frida Kahlo exhibit. Now I really, really have to go to the museum. Yes, I am an art snob.
