I've disliked those from the start.  It seems very little thought went
into them, not even enough to establish barebones context (e.g. artist
and genre), much less a greater historical or social context (e.g. why
we should care).  (something we often fail to establish, me included,
though with the basics down it's easier to get there).

yes.

wikikarma: stub for [[Baraka (film)]]--and now I'm off to continue
editing my own film, tho one that almost certainly will not merit an
article.  :-)
