Armond White on Tucker Carlson tonight

>read his reviews just for the meme of it
>actually really insightful and well written
>still can't make heads or tails on what he deems a "good" or a "bad" movie
Why is he like this? Why is he such an enigma?

Eh, sometimes he's insightful. Mostly though he's just an asshole and his opinions at the end of the year about which films deserve accolades vs. the consensus picks are literally the height of tryhard contrarianism for its own sake.

He’s coming up after the commercial break!

Because he's not part of the lines of film Twitter. I follow a bunch of those idiots and the only accounts that follow Armond are Janus Films and a cinematographer from a movie that underperformed at the box office.

Verified just means you tow the party line

Blue checks are for niggers and faggots.

based /ourguys/ joining forces

What did we think goys

I missed it. What'd he say?

cry moar

Dilate

he pretty much hates every black person that is an "intellectual" or went to college

i think he feels threaten by them

>Eh,
Stopped reading there

B&RP

>Black film made for white people to fawn over = bad
>Black film made for black audiences to enjoy = good
He’s big on sincerity also doesn’t appreciate the way a lot of modern critics treat film reviewing them more like products than pieces of art that fit into a cultural space

What time

Of course he is. Right now he has a comfy unique spot that makes him an exception and feeds his superiority complex. Middle brows like Armond. Retards and the highly intelligent like Ebert.

Roger Ebert gave a glowing review of Terminator: Salvation, only to redact it after he got roasted by public outrage. He offered a small apology stating that he had been reading a magazine article at the same time as viewing the film ... as if that is acceptable from a renowned critic that was getting paid for/earning a living from his review of the film.

The original review and apology are no longer online, I seriously regret not screencapping it.

He later posted a more accurate 'review' citing many of the film's obvious flaws.

That's not something to be proud of but i can understand why he did it.
I don't value the untouchable contrarian rigidity of Armond more. The point of a review is to write about how the movie make you feel so people who like you can decide to see it or not. It's not an exercise in college level social critique that only serves self-masturbation purposes.

>The point of a review is to write about how the movie make you feel so people who like you can decide to see it or not. It's not an exercise in college level social critique that only serves self-masturbation purposes.

holy strawman

What's wrong with a critic changing their opinion on a film and explaining their reasoning to their readers?

Armond is so contrarian I can see him ripping apart Tucker Carson for minimizing real struggles black people face due to racism. Armond's main complaint about black filmmakers is that Armond thinks their movies criticize racism only in ways that are sanctioned by white liberals and deliberately veer away from really uncomfortable parts of the "being black in America" experience. He does believe that black people are being unfairly discriminated against, and Tucker Carson is someone who has been pushing the false narrative that blacks weren't getting shot or jailed for little to no reason by the police before 2010.

he didnt change his mind he just appeased the mob. groupthink at its worst

Armond?
Armond on video?
I'm sorry, guys, I can't do this.
You shouldn't stare into the face of God.

WTF?! I love gay black men now!

Nothing, but there is something wrong with 1. being a paid renowned critic not giving a movie full attention and 2. changing your opinion based on public feedback on your previous opinion

I've heard a similar story about Harry Knowles and Godzilla 1998.

he based

>muh intellectuals
>I think he feel threaten by them
I think you're a retard

It's a good thing Tucker calls him the National Review film critic instead of the OUT film critic

I think you don't know that Armond and Obama went to the same college

>highly intelligent
>a nigger

I don't dislike Ebert, but he's the absolute definition of middlebrow. Aside from a couple of head-scratchers like his hatred for Blue Velvet, Ebert had the most standard takes you could possibly have. He even went back and gave glowing reviews to films he had initially been lukewarm on after they'd become classics.

He looks too old...B-Bros?Should we be worried?

He’s a bad goy.

> He's black, so he's supposed to love a [not black person]
uh huh

i can see I Tonya as holding contempt for lower class white people but where does race come into this?

I thought he got kicked out of OUT for shitposting on Twitter.

He hates pandering, that's literally it

He hates Blue Velvet and slasher movies because he's a white knight

Anyone have a link to it?

Wow, I always had a strong suspicion that Armond White was a right-wing troll, but the fact that he would talk to Tucker Carlson all but confirms it.

go back

yep definitely a retard

Let's all take a moment to appreciate based Gallo for putting da sheeny curse on Roger Ebert and killing him.

So anyone who talks to a popular political commentator is right wing? So Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard are right wing? Cause he had them on too.

Give some examples that confuse you and I will tell you why Armond likes or hates that movie. I am an Armondwhisperer.

Black people shit on Obama all the time within their own echo chambers though. They think he's sell out and did not really advance them however they get pissed when you try to discredit his merits as a politician because there are white men in politics that aren't ideal politicians either so far as experience goes and nobody typically pigeonholes those guys.

black people shit on Obama because he didn't literally send every black person int he USA 10 thousands dollars cash, a carton of newports, and the keys to a used 2003 Nissan Altima.

I thought he hated Blue Velvet because he had a huge crush on Isabella Rossellini and David Lynch was banging her at the time.

Literally who on literally what?

Goddamn that article is eye opening. Why would Vox even publish such a red pulled article?

Yeah doesn't he offer to prostitute himself? Also why did he only include directors commentary on the Japanese Brown Bunny DVD?

Does he have a speech impediment?

Reminder this guy is a fucking contrarian who panders to right wingers. Imagine shitting on films like
>Inception
>The Departed
>The Dark Knight
>Pulp Fiction
>BR 2049
>Logan
>Fight Club

But then turn around and praise
>Jack and Jill
>Mr. Deeds
>Chicken Little
>Dawn of the Dead 2004
>Pain and Gain

This dude is a fucking embarrassment

hes gay, user

He calls out Pixar for sentimentality but loves Mission to Fucking Mars?!
One of the stupidest, most mawkish and falsely self-important SF films of the last thirty years?
It is in no way a "visionary trend-setter," even by the low standards of movies set on Mars.

Looking through his history, he gave a fresh review to Dirty Grandpa and Batman vs Superman, and a rotten one to La La Land and Moonlight, as well as every Marvel movie he's reviewed.

Additionally, just about every somewhat major review he does, he somehow manages to bring up politics.

For instance:
The Accountant: "In The Accountant, blatancy overtakes sincerity...absurdly convoluted, this film stays blatantly politically correct."

It seems as if there is even the faintest glimpse of liberal ideas in a movie, he poorly reviews it (not totally across the board, he did positively review Hidden Figures). Over half of his Fences review was analyzing the conservative elements.

Also, I feel like it needs to be said that he praised Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for its visual style and panned Toy Story 3 for celebrating commercialism.

I just can't take this guy seriously, and it shocks me that Rotten Tomatoes let him come back after being kicked off the site for a while. IIRC Rotten Tomatoes let him go because he gave the universally derided Jack & Jill a unbelievably good review, and then proceeded to shit on anybody who disagreed with him. Why did RT let him back? The man clearly doesn't judge a movie by its merits. I've read several of his reviews that make me think he didn't actually watch the movie.
If the man is simply a troll, acting like a dick to earn notoriety and internet points, then his reviews shouldn't be taken seriously by the people who run Rotten Tomatoes.

damn you got filtered by De Palma bro

Pain and Gain is most authentic film on that list. I haven't seen the others he likes.

imagine thinking that first list is a sample of good films

>On the question of his cursed colon, Ebert said: "I am not too worried. I had a colonoscopy once, and they let me watch it on TV. It was more entertaining than The Brown Bunny." The critic rounded off his article (as it were) by casually conceding that he is overweight. "It is true that I am fat," Ebert wrote. "But one day I shall be thin, and he will still be the director of The Brown Bunny."
Seems like Ebert was more based

LMAO SAVAGE

>stealing one of Churchill's best lines
what a hack

He ended up interviewing Gallo and giving the re-cut version of The Brown Bunny a positive review

I would agree if there was proof.

he's rips of churchhill and thinks thats clever? fucking highschool kids do this in shitty essays

There's the colonoscopy one that's even more clever

ITS HÓMAGE

Take a look at RT, IMDB, Metacritic, or basically any movie fan. You're in the 5% percent minority, retard.

post it

thanks Quintin

Unfortunate that you take the npc route and condemn differing opinions as incorrect or contrarian whilst praising conformity as the only correct option. Acting like a normalfag for the sake of silencing others’ as a retarded minority.

>I had a colonoscopy once, and they let me watch it on TV. It was more entertaining than The Brown Bunny

ah right, yea such a clever man, I never liked him, his reviews are and always were shit

Ebert was a hack, some of the reasons are already stated in this thread.

Dude, he's so bad a video calling him the worst critics went viral lol

youtube.com/watch?v=WMbDPU1WJf8

It's incredible how some big words and a few superficial points come off as deep analysis. Have you guys never attended college?

Kill yourself

Armond does seem like a huge contrarian but you know what, compared to the legions of paid critics spouting the same opinions at least he does something different. Providing a diffirent take on something can be beneficial even if its wrong.

>No i'm not an NPC because there's a video shitting on Armond White that is popular with my fellow NPCs

Attached: 1552934325100.png (331x424, 130K)

Whatever, dude. You're still not cool or intelligent or unique for disliking popular films. Yeah, so I'll take my Pulp Fiction and Inception and you can enjoy Adam Sandler and Synder lol

white almonds doesn't give a fuck and just writes what he wants, thats what critics use to be, they didn't get paid by studios, they didn't pander to really anyone, they just had a degree in film, and journalism, they had rules, almond seems to be the last critic that respects that.

im pretty sure his entire schtick is just elaborate high brow shitposting via contrarianism to intellectually stimulate himself. Literally just using reviews as creative exercises in order to try and wring elaborate "reviews" for his own entertainment. The man could probably write and support any review/theory on any movie and somehow present a well thought out argument to support it

>You're still not cool or intelligent or unique

No, you arent. And that doesnt need a qualifier for you.

Honestly, and unironically, still leagues above writing reviews for "good" films because you know you'll be out on your ass if you badmouth too many Disney/Marvel flicks 2bh

I mean its incredibly based, its like getting paid to shitpost taken to the nth degree, not even the sports pundits who try to do the same (SKEEEEEUP) come close to him

Why do people call him contrarian? He is a genius.

almonds is just very good at what he does, his writing is very entertaining

I love how he was just getting started and just didn't realize he had no time.

has White made a list of his favorite documentaries?

But what's the problem, honestly? I've never yet seen anyone actually make a cogent, reasonable criticism of his arguments for or against the films he likes or hates. Look at this fucking thread
>Oh wow it's le contrarian black man yeah, of course he's wrong? Why? 'cuz he gave Jack and Jill a good review. QED

He probably doesn't want to send them his info because he doesn't have to. Everyone knows it's his real account

>>Jack and Jill

>>Mr. Deeds

>>Chicken Little

>>Dawn of the Dead 2004

never watched it but I bet it's okay at least.

He always uses the same words though. Nihilism. Catastrophe. Camp. Disorder.

>>>Pain and Gain
>never watched it but I bet it's okay at least.

It's shit. The Miami New Times series is Kino though.
miaminewtimes.com/news/pain-and-gain-6396870

yet there are reviewers such as Danile Sulzi giving TLJ, Captain Marvel, great reviews and shitting on kino, should Rotten Tomatoes rid people like such as well?
Cause that's some epic trolling.

WTF Armond is based as fuck
Only a disney cuck or redditor incel would hate this guy.

>Inception
Was never good.

>The Departed
Literally an inferior rip off of a Chinese movie that was infinitely better.

>The Dark Knight
Strictly Okay.

>Pulp Fiction
Tarantino is a hack.

>BR-2049
Objectively inferior to the original.

>Logan
A movie about bean people replacing a white man.

>Fight Club
The single most overrated film of all time.

I'm much more upset about his approval list, aside from Pain and Gain.

Truly incredible article. I scrolled up twice to double check what site it was on.

No TheGAYmerfromMars didn't have the balls to call him bad.
First time I've seen this video, not that viral.
Guess it was viral over at reddit huh?

He's basically eloquent uncle Ruckus.

A black with an opinion worth lisening too.

Because whether a movie is truly good or bad isn't the point to him, he's trying to elevate film criticism by counter signaling and being a better and bolder writer than his peers

>Obama isn't black

with the right explanation, this can be a galaxy-brain take, I'm waiting user.

I wish based Armond talked about Marvelmovies instead of Obama

Has a white parent, grew up with white caretakers in white environment, went to white school.
Experienced extremely mild form of racism due to having white facial/skin features compared to what a poor black person might experience.

white racetraitors really need to be exterminated

For a movie's message to rate highly with Armand, it needs to promote values of humanism and reject nihilism, and no matter the cleverness or gimmick employed, they will all be criticized as empty, valueless, or even dangerous, unless they are in the service of these goals.

If you read his reviews you'd realize that he isn't a "contrarian". In fact, he goes deeper into the messages of movies than any other critic.

How delusional are you

Match made in heaven

>Why would Vox even publish such a red pilled article?
The author is the co-founder of Vox

Why? did he give his movie a good review or what?

Ebert was the progenitor of generic youtube reviews, he lucked out by getting a spot on television to spout out half-baked thoughts on films that he had just consumed. He more than anybody else lowered the standards of criticism from the written form to the consumerist "critics" of today who regurgitate propaganda from the studios. Ebert deserved to lose his mandible so that he could slobber on Hollywood cocks the better.

You answered your own question

>article is red pilled
What is wrong with you retards replying to this

Low iq opinion

If he was real, he'd spend the whole time talking about Jack and Jill and Suicide Squad.

The man with no taste.
