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?

AnotherMy girlfriend worked as a script girl for some independent Korean movie. The actors were all second-rate soap actors and a few TV commercial actors.
One such actress shows up on set, and someone asks her for her name. She throws a big hissy fit: "Don't you know who I am? I'm that girl who was in that commercial!" As you can tell I don't know which commercial it was.
Sometime later, she sits on my girlfriend's sunglasses, crushing them. Someone told my girlfriend who did it, so she went to confront the woman. Once cornered, the actress confessed she sat on my girlfriend's glasses, so she started pulling out money to pay for them. Yeah, she's a big successful actress. Truth be told, I bought her the sunglasses for around 5000 won, which I assume is roughly 2 or 3 pounds. Basically what it would cost for a Big Mac Meal.
So my girlfriend refuses the money, and says "Use it to bribe another director into letting you be in another commercial."
/pwned.
