This -- "he’s like a gainfully employed Matthew Rush" -- is pretty o_0 tho.

The Jurassic World script doesn’t allow Pratt the personal charm — the wink — that Harrison Ford brought off as Indy, hero of many adolescent boys’ dreams. Pratt’s eyes are gentle, yet his stout-thewed crouch and voluptuous trapazoids overwhelm this formulaic movie — and Bryce Dallas Howard’s shrill, vapid Park supervisor. She’s unappealing as Owen’s love interest. Maybe a lesbian critic could try justifying her cold acting but who can say what hetero guys who see Jurassic World put into their spank banks? I bet it’s Owen.

this paragraph sure takes a turn

i don't read a lot of out magazine but it's not really the place i'd expect an "i dunno, maybe a lesbian will dig it" aside

da croupier, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:28 (eleven years ago)

LOL, 'cause that's totally what lesbians are into, Armond. Demeaning, frigid female characters who learn the value of having children with hot dudes over the course of the movie.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:35 (eleven years ago)

C Pratt was much cuter when a bit fluffier.

Not my type in either form.

I'm sorry, I missed the part when the voluptuous trapazoid ate Newman

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:44 (eleven years ago)

voluptuous trapazoids

Pretty impressive in the context of the word "velociraptors."

Or it would've been had his movie bothered to mention any dinosaurs at all.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:45 (eleven years ago)

his movie review

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:45 (eleven years ago)

OUT magazine is generally aimed, like all "gay" mainstream pubs, at fairly rich white men who don't know (m)any lesbians and think 'centrist' Dems are tot awesome bcuz "marriage."

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

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:46 (eleven years ago)

his voluptuous reviews

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:48 (eleven years ago)

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

da croupier, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:50 (eleven years ago)

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

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:50 (eleven years ago)

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

da croupier, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:51 (eleven years ago)

Reading Armond reviews is like falling into a trapazoid.

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:51 (eleven years ago)

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

da croupier, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:53 (eleven years ago)

so Armond is a dinosaur who writes reviews

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:53 (eleven years ago)

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

goole, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:05 (eleven years ago)

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)

goole, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:07 (eleven years ago)

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

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:11 (eleven years ago)

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?

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:20 (eleven years ago)

also, girls like dinosaurs too.

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:21 (eleven years ago)

obsessed vs interested

i'm not crazy about you, either

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:21 (eleven years ago)

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

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:22 (eleven years ago)

a dinosaur shit.

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:22 (eleven years ago)

jeez that Armond quote is some wacky misogynist shit

ultimate american sock (mh), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:23 (eleven years ago)

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

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:24 (eleven years ago)

xpost

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

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:24 (eleven years ago)

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

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:25 (eleven years ago)

previous previous i mean

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:25 (eleven years ago)

l-r Morbius, everything in the entire world

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:33 (eleven years ago)

l-r: armond, voluptuous trapazoids

da croupier, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:34 (eleven years ago)

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

Love, Wilco (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:39 (eleven years ago)

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

Norse Jung (Eric H.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:47 (eleven years ago)

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

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 21:01 (eleven years ago)

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

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 21:08 (eleven years ago)

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

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 22:11 (eleven years ago)

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

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 22:16 (eleven years ago)

and ILX, though he'd never admit it

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 22:16 (eleven years ago)

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 (eleven years ago)

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

da croupier, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 23:23 (eleven years ago)

chris pratt has bigger biceps than jeff goldblum

he quipped with heat (amateurist), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 23:32 (eleven years ago)

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 (eleven years ago)

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

*cough* gay marriage *cough*

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