Good post

I agree with 70% of what this guy says. In other ways I think he misses the point or fails to add context to the points he is making so that you cannot tell if he is targeting his comment at a specific aspect of something or if a statement he is making is a global statement.

Wow. Three votes? Sad. I guess VideoSift isn't the place for quality documentaries, only sensational videos and nut shots and fail videos... oh! And never forget the sweet, sweet gold of cat farts!

Robert Hughes does come across as a cranky old guy, but he does have a very good point. And his criticism of the Gustav Klimt painting is insane imo.

*doublepromote though, this is an amazing documentary.

Holy shit, blankfist posts something cerebral and engaging? Well I'll be ding-danged.

I know this is a British documentary, but Robert Hughes is originally from Australia. *downunder *history
