I watched Terminator 3:The Rise of the Machines the other night as a DVD. It was hackneyed, boring and uninteresting--man versus machine with few ideas. So we just have a boys own action thriller with the emphasis on visual effect and sensation. And the ending even allows for a Terminator 4.
How is this different from any other commodity--a vehicle to make a lot of money?
It is not all vacuous as the film has plenty of action sequences, some of which are spectacular---the crane chase---but it's pretty much little more than a road movie. One that allows us to project all our impulses onto the commodity, to g forget ourselves and lose ourselves in the visual effects
This is entertainment rather than than low-brow art, entertaintment that is integrated and administered by the culture industry. If it is seen as low brow than then it's protrusion into culture signifies the failure of culture.
