Reading Armond reviews is like falling into a trapazoid.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:51 (eight years ago) link
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?

obsessed vs interested
i'm not crazy about you, either

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

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

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

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
― he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 22:19 (eight years ago) link
nothing in the reviews makes it sound like this franchise has evolved

chris pratt has bigger biceps than jeff goldblum
― he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 23:32 (eight years ago) link
well, there are members of the audience who don't believe in evolution so it's appropriate.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 23:38 (eight years ago) link
The hero of the movie says, in reference to 65 million years of evolution, "maybe progress should lose for once."

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

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.
― Norse Jung (Eric H.), Friday, 16 October 2015 21:34 (eight years ago) link
And armond knows disingenuous
― da croupier, Friday, 16 October 2015 21:38 (eight years ago) link
Funnier still is how Armond, who frequently decries Tarantino's sadism, delights in watching (coded) Occupy-ers being mutilated and eaten.

Spotlight’s crusading journalists and activists are played by a cast of actors you can no longer trust: Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, and Stanley Tucci carry disingenuousness in their make-up kits, each one dragging the shadows of so many earlier untenable movies.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 7 November 2015 18:41 (eight years ago) link
(No wonder critics derided McCarthy’s Adam Sandler film, The Cobbler; its vision of multi-ethnic connection was as wondrous and unillusioned as Brooklyn.)
