Seriously, looking at the original article again, what the flying fuck. You couldn't have done a better parody article on the subject if you tried.

He has a hard-on for DePalma, Altman, Walter Hill, Alan Rudolph, Tupac, the Smiths, and few others.

I actually like his movie reviews. I mean he doesn't shy away from letting you know how he really feels. Also, they tend to be pretty memorable. I think I see his "overblown tendencies" as strong emotional resposes. Not what you usually get with movie reviews, i guess unless you count "hated it" or "loved it."
strong emotional responses are overblown tendencies when you can't write well. so many words i'd rather read "hated it" or "loved it" with a picture of him smiling smarmy, lips hiding teeth, eyes hollow. hated it!

(1) lots of black musicians played in all-white clubs during the '20s and '30s; not sure what yr overriding point there is.
(2) Armond White is, in fact, black.

i actually don't like reading his essays per se but he sometimes has short little pieces in film comment that are ok, sometimes he has interesting reasons for talking about something. his taste is really perverse and unpredictable, which is good and bad.

while he did throw shapes abt these indie bands to drum up publicity for blueprint 3, the common source of this for both jay-z & d projectors is probably new-agey self-help stuff. it's a p ancient idea.

Armond on The Smiths' Girlfriend in a Coma
― flappy bird, Friday, 11 August 2017 04:22 (six years ago) link
God I hate to be "well actually" but girlfriend in a coma isn't even in the top 10 of controversial morrissey/smiths songs

i've never been a fan of armond but that was a pretty decent piece imo

somewhere in my hellsite of a flat i have a copy of a new york city sun (from 1992 i guess?) which contains two long articles by armond white (while it lasted he was its critic-in-chief)
1: is a long detailed look at malcolm x the historical figure and malcolm x the movie 2: the other is a long favourable look at morrissey, who AW was very evidently drawn to
given both their subsequent trajectories i think this is both telling and -- to be fair to AW -- perceptive
(the movie came out the exact month of the madstock/union jack controversy, which is where inklings of doubt did begin elsewhere; can't recall if the city sun piece discusses this or predates it; should probably look it out and report back, perhaps a month off-line wd do me good)
