Is television an inherently worse medium than cinema in regards to artistic expression, /tv/?
No because the artist is not expressing themselves at the location of the screen. They already expressed themselves.
His comments are about viewer reception, which is a bit different.
yes, but not for those reasons. It's because of ads breaking up movies.

The medium in which they express themselves in is part of the expression though.
Unless I am for some reason mute and wheelchair bound, I am also capable of getting up whenever I want at the theater, and taking an hour long shit for instance
Television might even be better. Get people at home where they're comfortable and can get as invested as they want
You have a time frame of 30 minutes on average to an hour for specials once a week, technically you could create a masterpiece or just draw things out longer and longer creating meaningless sub story lines and plots with weak characters. I'd say yes but that's only because most great directors don't touch TV, there's exceptions of course like hitchcock or Krzysztof Kieslowski with decalogues.

TV makers endorse low IQ content, greedy, sliced into episodic pieces, whereas cinema artisans tailor aesthetic masterpieces with wools of celluloid for instant gratification, but also artistic satisfaction.

Most great directors don't touch TV because it has historically been a commercial medium.
What if I watch an episode of a television series on a film projector/screen
The Sopranos has more artistic merit than all organized crime movies put together including The Godfather and Goodfellas.

Yes but he is not talking about the medium he is talking about how the viewer typically interacts with it. Some people listen to music as background noise and some people sit down and do nothing but listen to it, the former group doesn't make music any worse as a medium.

The Sopranos wouldn't even exist if not for The Godfather.
Don't get me wrong, I love The Sopranos but saying it has more artistic merit than The Godfather is silly.
>>63258161
It is inherently better of course
>>63258311
It does you fucking rat.

M8 he is clearly talking about both, user interaction doesn't exist without the medium
