Doesn't celebrity trump artistry in pretty much all instances?

Hmm, now that you've prompted me to think more about it ...
Celebrity trumps artistry in the world of "fine art". But in popular art - thinking movies in particular here - people may go see a movie because Scorsese directed it, but will still happily give a bad review if they didn't like it. I guess this is the difference between enjoying art for what it does for you, vs. wanting art for what it says about you for having it. -- Drew |

Depends on how you count coup on the trump.
They went and paid to watch it, who cares about their reviews (especially since they aren't celebrities). In the wallets of all concerned parties -- which is where humanity counts its score-keeping, innit? -- celebrity trumped artistry. (What, me cynical?) -- Christian R.
