Video Games, As Defined by Cliffyb & Wyck Godfrey, Are The Exact Opposite of Art

Art is truth.

Art exalts the moral soul.

Wyck "28% Rotten Tomato Rating" Godfrey optioned Gears of War because it comes with a built-in fanboy audience who will eat Cliffyb's hype, hype, hype, and reguritate it on thousands of fanboy message boards.

Wyck "28% Rotten Tomato Rating" Godfrey did not option Gears of War for its story, as it has none, despite Cliffyb's fanboy hype. Unfortunately for Wyckyg, fanboy hype only works on fanboys who don't read books and have never touched a real girl. That means that the fanboys won't be taking dates to the GoW movie, which means that New Line's bottom line won't be served; and thus WyckyG's higher god--his muse and inspiration--money--will dump him.

It would be fun to sit down with Wyck and Cliffyb and talk about novels and stories and art and culture, but the snarky Wall Street fanboys detest truth, story, and art. Try talking to Mark Rein about art sometime. He'll look around impatiently instead of listening to the wrods taht would enrich him, and then run off to hype the story in GoW to some fanboy magazine.

Wyck Godfrey and Cliffyb are so arrogant that they think they can give culture and literature and art and film the middle finger, and ignore true writers and poets as they hype soul and story and chase ambulances. Wyck Godfrey & Cliffyb think that all they have to do to make some cashola is hire theme-park-ride adaptation master Stuart Beattie to adapt theme-park-ride Gears of War, and then have Mark Rein drive down Sunset screaming at everyone that GoW is an epic story, while Wyck Godfrey makes sure that anyone who questions or criticizes New Line's Bottom Line BS agenda is exiled from Hollywood forever.

Well, as you might have noticed, Wyckyg and Cliffyb can't seem to find some director to kill their career by directing the artless, storyless, plotless, soulless GoW movie.

It's hilarious to see the spin Cliffyb & Wyckyg put on this.

Rather than walking the hard road of creating lasting, epic, soulful art; they just want to hype crap that makes you and your money part.
