White's accusations of racism led to a live dustup on Leonard Lopate's radio show in the mid '90s, when Brown challenged White to substantiate his charges and White refused.
this is funny, see, because their names, are also the names of colors, that some peoples skin, is

that Armond review, ignoring the shitty abortion punchline, actually highlights pretty well what i find intolerable about Baumbach.

This one's a little too insider baseball for me to care about.

it is funny when someone who designs their whole persona on being iconoclastic and fearless gets super butthurt, though.

I don't give much of a fuck about this, but AW was infuriated that the kid in Squid didn't have anyone call him on stealing a Bowie song

fury seems like a pretty appropriate reaction

it was a pink floyd song
― dmr, Thursday, 11 March 2010 14:33 (fourteen years ago) link
you're right! well see, that proves nobody in Park Slope in the '80s was sure.
― Fusty Moralizer (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 11 March 2010 14:52 (fourteen years ago) link
he also did get busted for it...

kid passes off song lyrics as his own original writing, nobody in class notices, end of story

huh? what does this have to do w/ armond white?
― by another name (amateurist), Friday, 12 March 2010 00:55 (fourteen years ago) link
It was a scene from Squid/Whale, and White claimed that it was improbable that the lyrics wouldn't be recognized.
― Your body is a spiderland (polyphonic), Friday, 12 March 2010 01:00 (fourteen years ago) link
White:
Director-writer Noah Baumbach mimics the inverted narcissism of Capturing the Friedmans, presenting his Park Slope denizens as the brain trust of New York literary culture in all its bedraggled, half-ass, suburban-manque vanity. Real (average) moviegoers are said to stare back at the screen in numbed stupefaction, however screening rooms buzzed with the press's self-satisfied chuckles. Propaganda for ourselves. Most New York critics should have recused themselves from judging this mirror reflection. Their lack of such scruples matches Baumbach's lack of talent. The mind-boggling moment when his alter ego (Jesse Eisenberg) rips off a Pink Floyd tune at a music contest and, supposedly, no one in all bourgie Brooklyn recognizes the theft, demonstrates the downright plagiarism and nepotism of Baumbach's career.

lol @ armond insulting the intelligence of "average moviegoers"

you know how in robocop there's the secret "directive 4" that doesn't permit him to arrest an officer of OCP? and when he tries to arrest dick jones, he stops suddenly and starts jerking around strangely--and no matter how hard he tries, he can't bring himself to make the arrest?
that's sort of how it works when i try to read anything written by armond white.

No cad, he's saying that they're perceptive for being unamused at what draws "self-satisfied chuckles" from critics.
I liked TS&TW myself.

i didn't like it one bit but the pink floyd thing may qualify as the WENDY KROY hiccup: and other flaws in other films

morbs that's not nec. what i get out of "numbed stupefaction" but ok
― call all destroyer, Friday, 12 March 2010 02:37 (fourteen years ago) link
but reread! Sometimes numbed stupefaction is the only proper response, to WW2 alternate histories for example.

yeah yeah i still think he's misusing stupefy if that's what he's going for but here's a bigger point--whatever you think about the squid and the whale it telegraphs what its targets are really well and there's absolutely nothing inside baseball about it
― call all destroyer, Friday, 12 March 2010 03:19 (fourteen years ago) link
lol was that a sockspottin' post by morbs? if so, kudos
