The Importance of Not Being Boring Richard Walter emphasizes the importance of not being boring in art, including movies, paintings, sculpture, literature, and music. He discusses how most contemporary art is bad but some is brilliant. The bad stuff falls away over time while the good stuff remains timeless.
The Impact of Great Art on Life Walter shares his desire for great art to change lives completely and explains how shows like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos have had a profound impact on him. He contrasts the least desired outcome (not being bored) with the top end goal (life-changing impact).
