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?

Derek JAAAaaaarrmmmannnn .... YYAAAWWWNNNNNN!!!Derek Jarman's, 'Blue' --- THE most utterly pointless load of extreme bollocks ... A film with no visuals, just a blue screen, and somebody narrating some pretentious poetry wankshite over the top ... Here's some lines from the script (No, I didn't remember them. There's actually sites dedicated to this crap)
Look left
Look down
Look up
Look right
The camera flash
Atomic bright
Photos
The CMV - a green moon then the world turns magenta
My retina
Is a distant planet
A red Mars
From a Boy's Own comic
With yellow infection
Bubbling at the corner
I said this looks like a planet
The doctor says - "Oh, I think
It looks like a pizza"
What?? A pizza??? Wtf??! Imagine that sort of shite for HOURS ...
