Oh, absolutely!

Some art/literature/whatever brains and inspiration produce are made for quick consumption - I'd call them brain, or rather sentiment fastfood. They satisfy the inner sweet tooth that demands sugar, porn, clichés, superficial beauty. You can find all that e.g. in Manga or in all those blockbusters.

"Real" art suggests you activate your brain and look beyond the obvious. That's not that easy and 90% of the people prefer not to strain themselves too much. Better go watch "Star Wars" or "Buffy" or something of the kind than "The Hours".

(I'm so bad at expressing myself properly in English; I guess I'm stumbling over my own words. But I reckon you know what I mean. :-))
