typically nuts review and as always i hate the less-than-thinly-veiled implication (made by aw here and there and occasionally seen on ilx) that music that is made by a certain sort of white person and has a particularly white style is wholly irrelevant and those who are of a certain lifestyle and demographic are thoroughly unimportant and easily dismissed (or in this review's estimation, people who never leave the house!) lol, i dunno.
― omar little, Friday, 29 October 2010 18:34 (thirteen years ago) link
and it seems whenever this sort of "type" is dismissed, it feels almost like a bullying attitude or something, like the high-school weirdos who are in awkward and shy adulthood are still regarded as just not strong or masculine or extroverted enough. it's kind of strange that this sort of criticism is maybe considered valid in some quarters.

The straightforward title bests the recent Italian art flick I Am Love. Without hiding a political agenda behind hipster sophistication like that chi-chi Tilda Swinton vehicle, this very American satire (produced with uncanny pop instincts by the redoubtable Luc Besson!) proves convincingly romantic: Carrey and McGregor display absolute ardor in their characters’ respective risks and bravery, patience and devotion. These virtues become enlightening in a comedyof-manners context that defies the sanctimony that made Brokeback Mountain so patronizing.
I Love You, Phillip Morris

I dug I Am Love but I fail to see the comparison other than the word "Love" in the title.
― Gukbe, Friday, 3 December 2010 18:03 (thirteen years ago) link
the "hipster sophistication of I Am Love, eh. He might as well have said "Mussolini chic."

I liked IAL a lot but it's really a very hot bowl of stromboli. Look at it as an early Visconti film in color.

I just wanna know whether Philip Morris addresses, unpacks, makes mockery of or simply cashes in on gays' self-loathing.
― Miss Garrote (Eric H.), Friday, 3 December 2010 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link
I expect Armond is digging in a little bit at diva worship among the demographic in question.
― Miss Garrote (Eric H.), Friday, 3 December 2010 18:29 (thirteen years ago) link
it's not "self-loathing" when you realize you don't have anything else in common w/ these cocksuckers, Eric.
anyway, you all missed the relevant passage:
I admit this movie might not have seemed half as true if I hadn’t seen episodes of the LOGO reality-TV show The A-List, in which a clique of white, bourgie gay Manhattanites demonstrate totally loathsome habits and behavior. Steven is a Southern variant of their kind—a mad materialistic peacock—who unexpectedly finds his soul when he finds a soul mate.

Keep working at it, Morbs. You are that close to joining Armond among the ranks of the intractable.
― Miss Garrote (Eric H.), Friday, 3 December 2010 20:02 (thirteen years ago) link
hey, he bashes bourgie gays w/ "The A List," I do it with Out magazine.
what's your stake in this since you turned asexual?

I value living vicariously through others' sex lives. (With the obvious exceptions, of course.)

Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky actually started things last night, when he told White from the stage, "You give us all another reason not to read New York Press."
Appropriate, since Aronofsky gives me another reason to hesitate to set foot in a cinema.
