another maniacal Armond White review, this time "Fahrenheit 9/11"

i would have been a little more impressed if he'd spelled trapezoid correctly

Attended the screening last night with a 29-year-old boy who was verrrrrry much still into dinosaurs.

though this did come up when googling http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trapazoid

Reading Armond reviews is like falling into a trapazoid.

the first two entries for "stout-thewed" are from armond, followed by a few from conan books and a few from the 19th century

so Armond is a dinosaur who writes reviews

i never thought anyone other than robert howard used the word "thewed"

trapawhat now? tight editorial shop over there at out, huh

anyway, oh, armond. i wonder who else could conceivably write for both out and NRO (i don't really)

there are still gay Republicans, and in the case of O-bots, close enough

Maybe only 12-year-old boys are still into dinosaurs.

haha morbs. this is a perfect example of how your elitist scorn just reveals your own small-mindedness (this is point that, because of same small-mindedness, you will or can never take to heart, alas). now, i couldn't care less about this film, but there's really no reason why anyone /wouldn't/ be interested in dinosaurs!

you're a really sad person, you know that?

also, girls like dinosaurs too.

obsessed vs interested

i'm not crazy about you, either

it would be a badge of pride, if i gave a fraction of a shit

a dinosaur shit.

jeez that Armond quote is some wacky misogynist shit

although frankly there's a certain pathos in observing your scorn for anyone who doesn't have the same limited habits of mind

xpost

yeah the title of this thread (the 1st half anyway) is of enduring relevance

actually my previous post applies to both morbs and armond, so i'm on topic despite myself

previous previous i mean

l-r Goldblum, amateurist

l-r Morbius, everything in the entire world

l-r: armond, voluptuous trapazoids

l-r:Armond, what he thinks lesbians are into

l-r: Goldblum, people who think Armond can possibly be represented by Goldblum

I don't mind if you don't like my manners, I don't like them myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings

You're not going to go around poking at this thread and threatening to leave it again, are you?

dinosaurs are awesome, what kind of miserable life-hating person doesn't like dinosaurs

TBQH i'm not sure what morbius likes, other than a few old films and steven spielberg.

and ILX, though he'd never admit it

btw i'm kind of waiting for some GOP candidate to attack "jurassic world" b/c evolution

nothing in the reviews makes it sound like this franchise has evolved

chris pratt has bigger biceps than jeff goldblum

well, there are members of the audience who don't believe in evolution so it's appropriate.

The hero of the movie says, in reference to 65 million years of evolution, "maybe progress should lose for once."

*cough* gay marriage *cough*

dr morbius is...

tenacious

saluting Armond for recognizing George O'Brien as the reigning himbo of the late silents.

hi there!

george o'brien was stunning. and he had a great, goofy smile.

(and he grew into a great character actor, too, which i imagine those who knew his work in the 1920s would never have guessed he would.)

So, is name-checking Matthew Rush in his reviews Armond's new thing?

I'm on board.

Armond you crazy dick-sucker you.

Spielberg has lost the native all-American exuberance that made the atomic-bomb/refrigerator exploit in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull so wondrous. Here, he mocks “duck-and-cover” Cold War training films, the public-school Pledge of Allegiance, and even Donovan’s “Big American breakfast” as part of obsolete cultural foolishness that deserves noir cynicism. This is pop art at its most disingenuous.

And armond knows disingenuous

Funnier still is how Armond, who frequently decries Tarantino's sadism, delights in watching (coded) Occupy-ers being mutilated and eaten.

Missed that gem.
