Come now, valueless? Everything else in there I can see a defence of but valueless? Most of everything is shit but there must be porn that is artful.
I presume you feel the same way about the female equivalent of porn, romance novels, eh?

You mean, porn?
If the main idea is crap, then there's no "art" that can save it. That's like saying "there can be artful snuff films".

100%. Also for action movies, and a lot of sub-par crap that people are served.
hang on, sir/madam. who the hell are you to judge what is art and what is not? perhaps you would like to be in the censorship and regulation department that will decide whether or not something is art and whether or not something is of "value"? how do you decide whether something has "value"? the amount of smugness is quite astonishing. what "value" do you create? why do you exist?
I'm a European. We're not very populist in this here parts. We are judgemental, and we have standards.
They might be flexible, human created standards, that not everybody agrees with, but they are standards nonetheless. Society never knew any other kind of standards, anyway.
E.g we do get to judge that eating Nachos and watching BS TV serials for hours on end is "living like a pig".

No need. That's also what critics and cultures do.
You, for example, have adopted wholesale the idea of YOUR culture, that everything is just as good, and it's all a matter of personal taste.
Which is as much a value judgement as any other.
