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.

I thought you had mistakenly posted in the NRO thread.

how long til armond pens a piece for them i wonder

that review sounds less like armond than a certain cohort of ilm posters passing through an armond filter

well, exactly. Gooble gobble, one of us!

For those of you who haven't favorited Armond's page:

Experience Music Project panel in Seattle—a bizarrely unintelligible seminar

heavens!

a dozen or so of you ppl were there in the Zip-a-Dee year, no? and once you've been called bizarrely unintelligible by Armond...

not sure if this was the same year but reminded me of this
final lolution

The fact that his contempt for hip-hop—the most inclusive music genre there ever was—

bwhwhahahahahahahahaha

stay golden armond

cmon Shakey, if we count MC Paul Barman it even includes obnoxious Jewish guys who are not the Beastie Boys

if only Stephen Merritt RAPPED how much more honest and inclusive his music would be

hip-hop, a welcoming musical community of white homsexuals

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

Armond otm

(cept i am probably watching I Am Love tonight)

I dug I Am Love but I fail to see the comparison other than the word "Love" in the title.

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.
