I have a job that I put extra time into, a longish commute, and two enthusiastic boys. When my wife and I get time to watch a movie at all, we want to watch an entertainment, not high culture. I'm pretty sure that historically, the primary consumers of high culture have been the independently wealthy and people who don't have young children that they raise themselves.

I have an Ivy League liberal arts degree, I know what high culture is, and I'm actually quite fond of it, on the whole. But I won't apologize for what I feel like watching these days, and if you try to stigmatize it, I'll laugh in your face and carry on doing what I feel like.
