So continuing the theme of not getting stuff that I feel I should, I don't get Gary Hume. Never have done. I just don't understand why he's rated. And I feel bad about it, on the whole I like modern art. There's some of it I don't like, but "get" - like Lichtenstein - and there's some that I "get" for all the wrong reasons - that jumping pixie video in Tate Modern. But it's quite rare that there's a big name artist that I just don't see any merit in at all. Please can someone explain it to me (and whilst you're at it, please can you explain Cy Twombly too).
Something else I don't get is the second half of Taming of the Shrew. Now the first half is Ten Things I Hate About You, which is thoroughly enjoyable; but I can't help but feel that the casual misogyny of the second half dates it somewhat.
And also, support your local giraffe hunt.
