Yes I am saying that. I have been moved multiple times by the same genre but that doesn't happen anymore since it is very possible I have seen it all already. That is exactly why I ask "Is Art Limited"?
If I can see it all in one lifetime then by default isn't it limited?
If it is true (and I think it is) man's ability to create and be original is far more limited than we ourselves believe it is. We think of ourselves as unlimited in the scope of our imaginations but I am starting to think that isn't true at all. We really do have a limited imagination and only the rarest among us spring us forward as a species. i.e., Newton, Einstein, Tolkien, David and Mozart.
Even technology is moving at a snail’s pace relatively speaking. When I was a kid people thought that by 2010 we would all own flying cars, have robot maids and would be living on Mars. Come to find out we are pretty much living the same as we did 50 years ago. I had this debate with Thudz once before regarding technology.

The future is always further off than people originally think because man's ability for original thought is limited. What my science friend lacked to understand that IF art is limited so is man's capabilities in other area's.
