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?

The English PatientA few years ago I'd broken up with a long term girlfriend and we were in the "getting back together" stage. She wanted to start again, to pretend that we'd just met and I'd have to wine her and dine her in order to get back into her knickers. And so we went on our "first date".
I picked her up and we headed into town. She desperately wanted to see The English Patient so I'd booked tickets and we arrived at the pictures. It was 2 hours of sheer torture. It was the most boring, pretenious, bottom-numbingly tedious film it's ever been my misfortune to sit through. I was at the point where I was willing to gnaw my right arm off and sneak out of the pictures.
And I didn't get laid that night. As it was our "first date" she didn't want to give me the impression she was easy! (We'd only being seeing each other for two fucking years!)
And I wasn't even
