Speak for yourself, I think reality is fucking gorgeous. That’s why people try so hard to evoke its appearance in the first place, not only on screen but on canvas and in sculpture and prose.
That’s why my favorite art isn’t realistic at all; if I wanted to see the most beautiful realism around, I could just walk to a lake.
During the third or fourth time I was mad that 3D hadn't taken off like technicolor, I though "fine! I'll just look at trees and hallways in real life then!" And yeah, it kinda works.
There's a lot of beauty in the world if you just, you know, look at it.
