SelmonSmith6378 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Okay, considering I like the Dungeons and Dragons movie, maybe I shouldn;t be the one to talk about crappy critics. However, WAY more often than not, I give widley loved movies the respect they deserve. Armond White does neither. White is rpobably the dumbest man to ever touch a keyboard ever. If you don;t agree with me, here's a list of the movies he loves and hates: Great Movies he Hates: The King's Speech Lord of the Rings 3:10 to Yuma Batman Begins The Wolfman Precious X-Men: First Class Toy Story 3 Knocked Up Iron Man Gran Torino The Matrix Up Star Trek District 9 Repo Men Jennifer's Body Crap Movies He Applauds: Clash of the Titans Norbit Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Bedtime Stories Grown Ups Land of the Lost GI Joe: Rise of Cobra Jonah Hex Here are some quotes from this genius of cinema: On Clash of the Titans: "Leterrier certainly shows a better sense of meaningful, economic narrative than the mess that Peter Jackson made of the interminable, incoherent Lord of the Rings trilogy." On GI Joe " G.I. Joe must be understood as an authentic measurement of our cultural values. Its appeal to the pop-commercial synapses also demonstrates livelier filmmaking than such utter banality as Iron Man and Star Trek and Harry Potter's Half-Blooded Chintz." On Toy Story 3: " Toy Story 3 is so besotted with brand names and product-placement that it stops being about the innocent pleasures of imagination -- the usefulness of toys -- and strictly celebrates consumerism." On Precious " Winfrey, Perry and Daniels make an unholy triumvirate. They come together at some intersection of race exploitation and opportunism." On District 9 " District 9 represents the sloppiest and dopiest pop cinema -- the kind that comes from a second-rate film culture." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 We'll never know the exact reason why, but he's either crazy, conducting the world's longest running gag or is simply a crank who craves attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 This is what happens when film students graduate. They realize they have no marketable skills, then start writing crap like... On GI Joe " G.I. Joe must be understood as an authentic measurement of our cultural values. Its appeal to the pop-commercial synapses also demonstrates livelier filmmaking than such utter banality as Iron Man and Star Trek and Harry Potter's Half-Blooded Chintz." Followed by On Toy Story 3: " Toy Story 3 is so besotted with brand names and product-placement that it stops being about the innocent pleasures of imagination -- the usefulness of toys -- and strictly celebrates consumerism." Without understanding that Toy Story 3, with its brand names and product placement, must be understood as an authentic measurement of our cultural values...

I just think he's a moron. The only reason the New York Post still has him as their top critic is because he attracts so much attention with his idiotic statements. There are actual PETITIONS whose goals are to get this troll out of the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Dude, am I crazy or did YOU call Jennifer's Body a "great" movie. If that is in fact the case, I would have to question your film judgment more so than this fellow's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANd BTW, ROger Ebert thought it was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
