"Given this crisis, I can no longer keep silent about the conspiracy"
My favourite line. Reminds me of something you'd find in a very long letter in a local newspaper's crank file.

I'll bet Glenn Kenny is cursing his new years resolution to stop dicking on other critics.

From Armond's Participation in the Slate's 2004 Movie Club:
A review should be judged by its substance. Its argument should be engaged. Name-callers who ignore the argument are just being insulting; it's a feeble attempt to simply dismiss the argument.

Capsule review: Greenberg is a mite less obnoxious than Baumbauch’s other films (better photographed, too: I liked Harris Savides’ image of Stiller barely swimming across a pool—possibly an homage to my joke that Baumbach was the rat at the bottom of Margot at the Wedding’s pool).
hahahaha hold on -- armond is floating the idea that the 'greenberg' cinematographer trojan horsed a reference to an armond zing of baumbach into the movie??????

He's definitely slipped a few times, but I'm waiting for an all-out relapse that sees the 'Armond White-ism of the Week' come back.

The NY Press usta be well worth reading 10-20 years ago, when Armond shared film duty w/ Godfrey Cheshire, and there was a regular column by Dennis Perrin.

The title Kick-Ass enshrines a bully’s ethic. Though it is unpopular to say, this proves Tarantino’s contribution to Abu Ghraib mentality. Perhaps
― World B. FAP (J0rdan S.), Friday, 7 May 2010 01:31 (fourteen years ago) link
But the lyrics in "Telephone" are a different matter: "I don’t want to talk anymore/ I left my head and my heart on the dance floor" celebrates a heedless refusal to communicate; to mindlessly, heartlessly indulge pop culture
i guess dancing is pop culture now \(o_O)/
J0rdan, name a single decent American-made feature film this year.
Tarantino’s contribution to Abu Ghraib mentality
kind of undeniable as a general principle.
