Armond White DESTROYS Toy Story 4

>mouseketeers
>people

With facts and logic?

meh. author is a nigger. glad I didn't waste time reading that drivel.

>Armond White hates it
So it's actually not that bad then?

And watch classic movies.

My gripe with this review is that he barely fucking says ANYTHING of note about the film itself. His message is sound, especially about Pixar nowadays going for cheap emotional bait over actual substance. But this reads more as some rant from him about fundementally disagreeing with the idea of Pixar as a whole rather than an actual review. It's not a bad rant, but it a review it is not.

Okay, I can understand finding Toy Story 4 bad and hating how Pixar movies are supposed to just be liked without thought.

>Voiced by Keanu Reeves, Duke Caboom offers nothing close to the giddy delight of that relentless, surreal, slapstick taxi-cab battle in John Wick 2.

But what the fuck did he mean by this? That Toy Story needs to be more like John Wick?

Where's the lie??

>So it's actually that bad then
ftfy

No, he's saying that JW2 was unintentionally hilarious.

You say that like the series is trying to take itself seriously.

Does he use epic thought and logic though?

You're an undisputed faggot user.

Anything to own those Japs.

I mean, it wasn't a great film, but no need to go full autistic and literally write an article about a kid's movie

He’s correct

he hasn't seen it yet

>That Toy Story needs to be more like John Wick?

That Keanu is there to attract people obsessed with him and doesn’t contribute anything to the film

You're telling on yourself for being a dumbass

It's so frustrating. He's so close to denouncing capitalism. So close. But his rightist conditioning stops him just short of it. He's so much closer to someone like Adorno than he is to the typical insincere rightist approach to media analysis.

This. It's incredibly autistic for a film reviewer to write a film review.

>kids movies shouldn't be criticised because it's meant for children
Shouldn't kids be the ones to decide that since it's meant for them and not you?

>The Toy Story franchise proves that movies (especially from Disney and Pixar) are produced to be critic-proof.
This is why they have more awards than any other animation studio.

But when Brie Larson said that middle aged male film critics are probably not the target audience for A Wrinkle In Time everyone wanted to crucify her for it.

That's what Armond White does. He did the same thing when he trashed on Toy Story 3.

> DESTROY
fuck off pajeet

That's dumb. You're dumb.
All art has the right to be scrutinized.

What do I need to do to become like this?

This guy has a persecution complex and a high horse.

I hate this line of thought because it's basically saying "Who cares what children consume? Let them eat cake for all I care!"
Fuck you asshole, kids might have a harder time distinguishing good from bad, but that doesn't mean we should just dump shit on their heads. Those kids are just as entitled to something decent as you grown ass is, it's such a bullshit copout argument that can be summed up as "Things made for kids ideally would have no quality standards and thus should never be criticized."

Yeah, but that is just because she's irritating.

This.

You're not wrong, but neither is he.

There's no stopping this man.

His famous for being the black sheep of critics for not liking Toy Story 3, so he has to go on an all out assault on Toy Story 4 for those clicks and adviews. I doubt any of this writing is sincere and done purely out of exploitation and entertainment.

Watch classic movies.
Read a lot.
Practice your writing.
Don't join the hivemind.

He labeled Jonah Hex a good movie. Defend that.

Just like other critics praise other shitty movies. Your point?

He's a retard

No point then.

>like hey going out of style
user...

Armond White is a gay black dude who acts contrary and feigns outrage for attention and money. If that weirdo RuPaul and Jussie Smollett taught us anything, that's all their kind knows how to do.

Oh my god, that old gotcha. Just because you live in a capitalist nation and use capitalist technology and infrastructure doesn't mean you have to uncritically accept that there is no better alternative to capitalism. Martin Luther lived under Catholicism and was educated under Catholicism and he was still the founder of the Protestant church.

His Coraline review was just a Wall-E review

>You rarely, if ever, meet a poor commie
You haven't ever visited a communist country have you?

>Betty
Obesityfags really are retarded.

Communism is not a better alternative, you're advocating the exchange of one failing system for another.

Poor communist's usually exist via extensive propaganda that through a rigged education system give the people false information of the world outside their own country and pin all the countries failings to an external threat the common man will rarely ever actually see. Even then though most people now what they're drinking is Kool-Aid when they see it and are usually just poor honest folks trapped in a shitty system that will punish dissent and fort one reason or another can't migrate.

>Oh my god, that old gotcha.
The word is "platitude." And it ain't one.
>Just because you live in a capitalist nation and use capitalist technology and infrastructure doesn't mean you have to uncritically accept that there is no better alternative to capitalism.
If you were to remove the majority of wannabe Communists from the capitalist society they're in, they'd likely die or at least fail to thrive, so yeah, it does mean that.
Not to mention, we still haven't seen an example of a Communist society that works, so how is it a better alternative?
>Martin Luther lived under Catholicism and was educated under Catholicism and he was still the founder of the Protestant church
Apples and oranges. Religious upheaval can't be compared with economic upheaval, unless you're in the Middle East or somewhere like that.

Sounds like capitalism and communism have a lot in common.

God, you're such a cocksmoker

It never actually occurred to me that armond was from one of those internet conservative rags.

>A nugget of a loosely appealing argument surrounded by pure outrageous nonsense designed to bring an outraged response
It suddenly makes a lot more sense

nice reading comprehension blindlet

Your post is self demonstrating of the argument you're trying to make, just replace conservative with liberal.

I mean, not entirely wrong. It's not exactly an uncommon strategy to try and outrage your opponent to make them appear hysterical to an outside observer.

He also writes for a gay magazine.

>Ilhan Omar–style

>The Toy Story franchise proves that movies (especially from Disney and Pixar) are produced to be critic-proof.

Can't he outright say that Disney tried to bribe him like the other critics?

>Armond White

Didn't even read the article or the thread, he's just a notorious contrarian shitposter.

And you're surprised that he's celebrated here because?

dear Yea Forums,
I'll stop complaining about you fucks if you promise to make one Armond post for every two live-action capeshit posts.
sincerely, user

What happens in toy story 4 thats so bad it ruins the rest of the movies? I haven't watched it and this guys review makes little sense to me without the context of the movie.

I really have no idea what he's saying, how is toystory critic proof?

the king of Yea Forums or something

Being a contrarian is just as bad.

>b-but what about
ebin

You keep proving him right. Pixardroids can’t stand dissent. It’s live action reddit

>it's meant for them and not you?

It’s this the 2019 spin? You can’t review a movie because it’s not for you?

Is Armond retarded or a troll? It seems like he does some of these movies dirty on purpose. I'm not shilling Toy Story I'm just genuinely curious.

But pixar movies aren't live action?

>Forky recalls the lonely desperation of Blade Runner’s toymaker who said he made his friends himself. But that notion is even darker and more complicated than Pixar’s nihilistic Wall-E. Thus, Bonnie’s awkward, Asperger-spectrum imagination brings unfair competition to Pixar’s toy-movie monopoly, so Forky is characterized as a snarky, neurotic outcast, an existential threat to the regular toy characters who are easily marketable tie-in products.

What a moron. Disney movies are well reviewed because they're genuinely good movies. Really the only movies worth seeing. What would you rather see? Avengers or Godzilla? Obviously avengers.

>bro, commies are evil. They stole my gusano grandparent's plantations and slaves!

It shits on everything TS 1-3 set up. Woody just runs off to be with Bo, all of the old toys barely have any lines. It's the same problem as Wreck-It-Ralph 2 or the Star Wars sequels, they clearly give no fucks about whatever themes and characterization already established.

I like this guy's take better instead.

nationalreview.com/2019/06/movie-review-toy-story-4-franchise-shows-age/
>If earlier films in the franchise were about loss and abandonment and saying goodbye to childhood, this one is pretty much just about getting from one physical-comedy gag to the next. The set pieces that deliver the gags, busy as they are, are much less inventive than they were in years past, and the way underlying themes get tossed out haphazardly without much follow-through suggests a case of writing by committee.
>In previous Toy Story installments, we cared because the toys had feelings and would be crushed if they weren’t played with. Here, that motive is abandoned: The suggestion is that toys can be perfectly happy, maybe even more self-actualized, living on their own. The kid, in this movie, doesn’t really need the toys, and the toys don’t really need the kid. Oh.
>The movie suggests that instead of fussing incessantly over our kids, we should let them slip off to college or Brooklyn while we retire and pack up for an active adult community in Boca, which seems to be the sort of future Bo Peep (Annie Potts) has in mind for Woody. If toys aren’t defined by their loving relationships with their kids, though, the chief premise of the whole series is undercut. It’s as if Dorothy Gale said, “Meh, come to think of it, Kansas sucks” and traded her ruby slippers for a condo off the Yellow Brick Road.

He provides necessary criticism that isn’t available anywhere else. He may be out of bounds on some points, but he’s never too far off base.

Toy story felt completed was my problem. This is like them reopening the story just to fuck everything.

That is an interesting point, if the characters relationships with their kids/owners isn't their main defining characteristic then you don't really have any identity as an actual toy. They might as well be an actual cowboy and sheep herder.

Hahaha yeah imagine writing about cartoons, who would ever do that?

she said she doesn't want to hear what white men think about it.. even though the characters in the book were white and just got blackdirtied for the movie. she's an idiot.

No, you're an idiot and you're going to be replaced.

> if Dorothy Gale said, “Meh, come to think of it, Kansas sucks” and traded her ruby slippers for a condo off the Yellow Brick Road.

Should I mention that's what happens? That her family's farm goes under and she brings them to live in oz where they live happily ever after? Because that's what happens.

Most people didn't read the books. Heck most never saw the second movie.

You actually believe that? I guarantee no one made death threats against some no name hack.

Ironically, his writing is meant to appeal to mongs like you.

Holy shit, this irrelevant gay nigger is still alive??

>Israel
>American institution
At least he’s honest.

>The Toy Story franchise is the closest thing we have to an undisputed national anthem, a popular belief that celebrates what we think we all stand for — cooperation, ingenuity, and simple values, such as perpetual hope. This fact of our infantile, desensitized culture became apparent back in 2010 when I took a knee on Toy Story 3 and Rotten Tomatoes sprouted death threats — as if I had made Ilhan Omar–style comments against the history of America and its institutions.

kill yourself mouse bitch

found the loser

Toy Story main characters = easily massed produced shill products, portrayed as mentally stable and sane
Forky = something a child made from their imagination, portrayed as neurotic and lacking identity

It's almost like you MUST be a part of the Disney brand machine, or you don't know who you are anymore.

Armond "God I Wish I Was" White

woody's (and by extension Jessie/Bullseye) a relic by the time TS comes around, a good chunk of the main cast minus Potato Head are just generic toys as well, Buzz is really the only brand thing. Forky's literally made from garbage and is having an existential crisis or some shit.

Except that's not true, all of them are Disney branded toys in the real world.

Did people really don't know they than the wizard of Oz is more than one book?

Genuine question: does Armond White only do these contrarian reviews to poison the well of opposition?

The books don't matter, it's a film. Though no one remembers that her dog is going to get gassed at the beginning for seemingly no reason, and it isn't resolved when she comes back. Also, it's Kansas in 1939; everyone she ever knew as a kid was probably lungfucked by glass-like shards of dirt.

And yet only the first book is regarded as a beloved classic, not the rest of it where Dorothy's now a blonde girl.

no mistakes, he is right, a bit damage controlling and makes it a bit annoying to read, but what a fucking legend.

They made a homemade toy act like an asshole to tell kids that actual creativity is worse than factory-made placation. Which is a microcosm of Pixar's entire problem of creating safe formulaic shit that people have been brainwashed into thinking is revolutionary because of Pixar's recurring emotional manipulation tactics.

For all of its flaws the recent Godzilla movie actually did pretty okay job of living up to earlier movies in the franchise. Marvel movies are just quippy shiny bullshit.

He also liked The Iron Giant:

“The Iron Giant should have been immediately recognized as a near-perfect, classical expression of imagination, combining childlike wonder and adult sophistication.”

But Forky isn't an asshole. They don't shit on children's creativity because they hammer home how much Forky means to Bonnie despite being made out of trash. Did any of you watch the movie?
