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

like, those two, in particular

im not even sure where this is going

Those are 2 AW favorites of this year. I'm just as irritated with his automatic-pilot rants as many of you, but he also thinks more than one kind of movie is worthwhile.

but you ppl only get upset at his "contrarian" takes on your beloved multiplex must-see-on-the-first-weekend shit, so what else is new

the special thing about a. white is not which movies he likes and dislikes but the offhand sweeping contempt at all the other shills and frauds who don't like and dislike what he does. a man alone!!

xp ha that's some kind of xp right there

(I'm not talking about s1ocki or even a non-English-language-film-hater like nrq)

Yeah, he is completely tiresome with the Anointed One stuff, no argument

but you ppl only get upset at his "contrarian" takes on your beloved multiplex must-see-on-the-first-weekend shit, so what else is new

u mean HIS beloved multiplex must-sees like transformers and GI joe?

even a non-English-language-film-hater like nrq

i've seen like three foreign-ass films in the last week, son

foreign 'ass films' dont count

... if he were a cheerful whacko instead of a rageaholic one one he'd be an ilx hero like terius nash or the struttin that ass guy

one of them had emmanualle beart true

but you didn't consider any "great" in the '00s

I really want to see Resident Evil Afterlife now, just to spot the deceptively dark homage to Demy's Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Also: "This Resident Evil is superior to Avatar and Inception on every level"

I doubt I'll agree with Armond on Inception, but Avatar....

When Alice is resurrected from her android state (“Thank you for making me human”), it confirms Anderson’s ingenuity as a life force.

Is he a Paul Thomas Anderson fan? I don't know how else to explain his not announcing that this Paul Anderson is so much better than that other Paul Anderson.

"Bad Bitcharama" is such a weird headline for a piece with one line describing the lead character and the rest blowing kisses to the man who "essayed" this movie.

That's just the new name for all his columns.

Life As We Know It

Pretty amazing how he manages to pry his (pretty decent though I've not seen the film) review into a further diatribe on The Social Network and its relation to the Rutgers suicide.

We can’t pretend that anything is more important in film culture than the Internet humiliation-death of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi taking place the same week as the media hype for The Social Network.

We interrupt this Katherine Heigl romcom review to bring you this pressing commentary...

Just posting this line from the Jackass 3D review for posterity:

Steve O’s Super Cocktail Bungee routine in a feces-filled port-a-john utilizes distance and trajectory in a way that recalls the great waterslide joke in Norbit (and should help rehabilitate that wonderful film’s unfair reputation).

hahahahahaha

Director Jeff Tremaine’s final 3D trick is a celebration with in-yourface explosions, wreckage and confetti.
It imitates the destruction of bourgeois materialism at the end of Zabriskie Point, then becomes an end-credits montage singling out each of the Jackasses alongside their nostalgic schoolboy photos. An accompanying Weezer tune, “Memories,” describes a longing for innocent carelessness. It’s an indulgence, but to understand it is to understand why the terrorists hate us and why Jackass 3D is also a political documentary.

oh i love tfg

armond has a richard branson esque compound up his own ass

are u renting yours out?

JACKASS 4: It's Why They Hate Us

the terrorists hate our catapult porta-potty efforts

AW trying to rehab his ILX cred this week: he hates Stephin Merritt AND Sasha Frere-Jones!

loool

amazing as ever.

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.

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.
