Imagine what a nightmare an Armond White-directed film would be.
He's literally the only critic reminding people that garbage belongs in the trash
James Smith
Wouldn't it just be, like, a military movie where America saves the day and everybody loves them?
Ryan Morris
>its just popcorn trash >don't look at the unsubtle propaganda they push on the masses! These flicks deserve to be criticised and analysed far more than films that are pushing the boundaries of film

Andrew Cook
I wonder what Armond thinks of rap music
William Green
Did you read his The Square review? What about the Good Times one?
i know hes a funny meme lol but all jokes aside, armond white is an absolute and utter arsehole.
Samuel Bailey
Look up his actual review, its a goldmine.
> Ledger's already-overrated performance consists of a Ratso Rizzo voice and lots of lip-licking. But how great of an actor was Ledger to accept this trite material in the first place? Unlike Nicholson's multileveled characterization, Ledger reduces The Joker to one-note ham-acting and trite symbolism. If you fell for the evil-versus-evil antagonism of There Will Be Blood, then The Dark Knight should be the movie of your wretched dreams.
>Dent says, "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain." What kind of crap is that to teach our children, or swallow ourselves? Such illogic sums up hipster nihilism, just like Herzog's Encounters at the End of the World. Putting that crap in a Batman movie panders to the naiveté of those who have not outgrown the moral simplifications of old comics but relish cynicism as smartness.
>Appealing to adolescent jadedness and boredom, Nolan revamps millionaire Bruce Wayne's transformation into the crime-fighter Batman (played by indie-zombie Christian Bale), by making him a twisted icon, what the kids call "sick." The Dark Knight is not an adventure movie with a driven protagonist; it's a goddamn psychodrama in which Batman/Bruce Wayne's neuroses compete with two alter-egos: Gotham City's law-and-order District Attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), and master criminal The Joker (Heath Ledger)-all three personifying the contemporary distrust of virtue. We're way beyond film noir here.
>"Madness, as you know, is like gravity-all it takes is a little push." The Dark Knight is the sentinel of our cultural abyss. All it takes is a push.

Gabriel Brooks
Is Armond White actually black or is it Uwe Boll in blackface?
Ryder Carter
>Knocked Up Of all movies this makes his list.
Jack Reyes
1. The red scare paranoia of the 50's was terrifying for libs AND reps in Hollywood. 2. The Joker is not a character meant to be emulated. Batman's sacrifice does not undermine his heroism. 3. There are plenty of worse remarked that came before this. 4. It tells the very personal impact slavery had on the main protagonist. It's not an all encompassing historical overview. 5. A gross misreading of the film text. 7. World Trade Center was a much worse representation of 9/11. 10. He isn't glorified. He's called an "asshole loser."
Gavin James
In most of these he's not actually talking about the movie, just how he disagrees with them politically.
William Richardson
Most moviegoers consider Fincher high-art. The Social Network has been praised by many on Sup Forums.
Levi Young
this movie started the movement
Jayden Edwards
He really is phenomenal. I don't think it's a character either, one man could not possibly be that consistent.
Austin Wood
he's right though

>The red scare paranoia of the 50's was terrifying for libs AND reps in Hollywood. >republicans >hollywood What a laugh. History has already vilified McCarthy's actions as the vast majority of the accused were Communists
The fact that kids like you are taught in history that McCarthyism was wrong is just proof that we lost our institutions to the communists and that McCarthy was correct in his actions. The only good Commie is a dead one
Jack Brown
He's absolutely correct on all counts
Jason Turner
I lived through the Red Scare young man
Elijah Wood
Armond White is actually never wrong in any of his reviews, because there is always a good chunk of truth in his contrarianist web of words and diction.
Adrian Phillips
Well you are pretty stupid for being so old yet so uninformed
David Cruz
Wall-E, Social Network, Bourne Ultimatum, There Will be Blood.
dude wat
Adrian Sullivan
no he isn't, it seems like he fails to understand half of the movies he's reviewing how the living fuck do you watch The Social Network and think it glorified Zuckerberg?
Alexander Reed
>2. The Joker is not a character meant to be emulated.
Tell me who of that movie's characters inspired the most people dressing up like him and quote him in dialogue? Helped that he died after filming wrapped and so was automatically given memetic status.
Ayden Price
he's offering a counterpoint. or is that not allowed for some reason?
Brody Young
thinking this guy is cool is reddit as fuck
Benjamin Edwards
the same way "anti-war" movies still end up glorifying that which they claim to despise

>is black >"muh white culture" Why?
Evan Murphy
Armond and Tarantino are two sides of the same coin. One is an afro-american who tries to impress white people "hey, I'm not like the other ones" by hardly criticising films heavy on social commentary and, technically, about minorities, to the point of displaying absolute distate for not only the movie, but the people involved. Supports Republicans. Doesn't like rap or hip hop, but praises Kendrick Lamar. He's like the lobotomized black dudes in Get Out. Hell, his surname is White, it's like a prophecy. Not to mention most of his fanbase comes from here. Surprisingly, he hates Spike Lee. The other is a caucasian man born in the South, who has a weird appreciation for afro-americans. Supports Democrats. Makes fun of rednecks, made Sam Jackson popular as ever, made a film were a group of Jews literally kill Hitler in living color, made a movie where a free slave is basically a superhero, participate on BLM rallies and makes sure everyone knows he likes rap music, being friends with Kendrick Lamar. Not only was his foot fetish exposed in the Tyra Banks Show (for an entire audience of laughing women) but he also said doing so "it's a black male thing". He's like the creepy white dudes from Get Out. Probably calls his black friends the N-word, but no one corrects him over pity. Surprisingly, he hates Spike Lee. One criticises movies. The other makes them. It's like a wife-husband relationship. One asks "what did you think of the sex", the other answers with an opinion. They are the total opposite of each other, but have more in common than they think. I'm sure both would make a perfect couple.

2) Did he miss the point of the movies? 4) Agree 5) I hate hate but it's not nihilistic 11)Agree 12)agree 13)agree 15) Jewish propoganda. agree 17) Shit opinion. Yes it's anti-christain and was base don a book written by a commie but it's still very kino 20) Agree. Shit movie. Fuck Speilberg

She still did a book signing at Costco, but this time they didn't allow cameras The narrative remains the same
Owen Turner
Can we now always pretend he is white?
William Adams
>but relish cynicism as smartness. Armond inadvertently described himself.
Kayden Parker
The narrative being: Shitlery is both an irrelevant loser but also the puppet master illuminati who literally murdered like 50 people and controls Hollywood. Right?
Easton Jones
He's fucking right. These movies did a lot of damage and shaped people's tastes for the worst.
James Reyes
Armond just can't stop BTFOing plebs

But I was right. I said the image was fake and it was. Meanwhile you moved the goalpost like the pathetic little jewbitch you are.
You said it was pushing a false narrative, retard My argument was that the narrative was still correct despite the picture being from a previous signing
Nathaniel Clark
>Surprisingly, he hates Spike Lee
Who doesn't hate Spike Lee?
Benjamin Watson
I don't think that's Armond at all, from the reviews I've read he seems to like movies that have some sense of joy for life in them or otherwise lack the selfaware pessimism present in everything now.
Brody Morales
What part of Wall-E was pessimistic? The whole point of the movie is how even in a state of seemingly irreversible destruction, you can recover.
Bentley Lopez
It pushes the narrative that the image is from the same time as Trump sitting in the WH. Does your interpretation of the image differ? Let's hear it. >the narrative is still correct it' so correct you have to post misleading images to support it. kek
