Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Pretentious films3. Moulin Rouge - this wasn't even funny. I walked out half way through.
2. Blair Witch Project - just a bunch of students pissing around with a camcorder and thinking they're oh-so-terribly clever and interesting. I wanted to walk out half way through but stayed, in the hope that it would actually get scary and that the four teenage Traceys sitting in the back row would finally stop chattering away to each other and instead urinate on themselves. It never did, and they never did.
1. Absolute Beginners. The worst film ever made, ever. This is what happens if you give an art student a budget. I took a girl to see this on a date. I was extremely hot for her and she was quite fond of me. By the time the pitiful thing had run its dreary, arty-farty, plotless, songless, talentless course, we could barely look at each other. The moment had well and truly passed. And it never came back.
Apologies? Kiss my length.
