It's not art. It's democratization of crap.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Cool, a movie quote. Nice.

[Krasnol]

How was your opinion more profound?

[defrost]

Pity the movie wasn't Lisztomania, 'cause, like, you know, Liszt used to be a bit like a pop musician.

Liszt was a very different musician in a very different time than Handel, and he was mostly just cribbing off of Paganini when it came to these antics.

[defrost]

But does Klaus Kinski's Paganini have the quotability and outrageous lighthearted over the top-ness of Russell's Lisztomania ?

There's a 2013 film The Devil's Violinist in the mix now apparently.
