Is it art?

Sorry for the radio silence. I’ll be back tomorrow with a real post. In the meantime:

“I presume [he] means that inherently you cannot be commercial and artistic. You cannot be commercial and quality. You cannot be commercial concurrent with hav[ing] a preoccupation with the level of storytelling that you want to achieve. And this I have to reject. I think you can be. I don’t think calling something ‘commercial’ tags with an odious suggestion that it stinks, that it’s something raunchy or to be ashamed of. If you say commercial means to be publicly acceptable, what’s wrong with that?” — Rod Serling

What do you think?
