Star Wars is like a Happy Meal
a: Star Wars ~
b: a Happy Meal
What: "Star Wars is like a Happy Meal. You can mass-produce both the meal and the movie so cheaply and sell them in such quantity that you can almost give them away. Art is different. You just can't make great works of art that cheaply and count on selling billions and billions of them. In line with the example of an independent restaurant in comparison with a McDonald's, the independent theater should stop trying to compete with the mainstream theater on ticket price." The link is a discussion and analysis of the economics of Art House Movie theaters.

a: A cliche ~
b: a movie star who plays the same role
What: "A cliche is like a movie star who plays nearly the same identical role in picture after picture. Just as Hugh Grant does "the Hugh Grant role" better than anybody else, a cliche is a cliche because it is the perfect way to say it (or show it), whatever "it" is."

a: Photography ~
b: going to see a movie
What: "I'm not knocking color because I do shoot color as well, but color photographs are more or less a document of what something looks like, while I feel black-and-white is more interpretive. A really neat analogy is that color photography is like going to see a movie: black-and-white is like reading a book. "
