You may be right. Many things look better "on the big screen." If ever I get a chance, I may check it out in the flesh. It would have to look a lot better than the pictures I've seen.

But I'll never be convinced that Fountain is art. Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 by the same artist who did Fountain? Yes, I'll buy that, but not Fountain.
