who is the Scaruffi of Yea Forums anyway?

Armond White

he has nothing on the scruff

because he doesn't watch any of the fucking movies he rates

>writes long synopses and reviews for films he hasn't even watched
wow... guy sure is talented....

Because as shit as Yea Forums is, at least they're smart enough to know that droning is retarded. Even Armond White is mostly a meme that nobody takes seriously.

Scaruffi rates movies on artistic basis and Yea Forums is looking to numb themselves frequented by star trek fans and star wars / marvel / dc / game of thrones cucks

he's autistic he has no talent. it is literally impossible for him to have consumed all the media he claims to have.

>Scaruffi rates movies on artistic basis
lol

nobody
Wrong

Correct

Yea Forums is so shit now that literally no good television or film is dicussed. The board is unironically flooded by Game Of Plebs/Capeshit/SNEED threads and anybody with a modicum of taste has jumped ship. As shit as Yea Forums (and I'll add Yea Forums here too) is, at least we have serious dicussions and actually have relatively good taste compared to normies.

is he doing a söy face

Yeah I don't get this. Same thing with Yea Forums as well. Yea Forums has its artsy/philosophical taste while hating young-adult shit, Yea Forums has its hipster/indie occasionally avant-garde taste, yet both Yea Forums and Yea Forums always just discuss normalfag shit.

it's just the influx of normies and r*dditors over time and the nature of the boards. Every loser plays videogames and watches television; not everyone reads or is into music enough to discuss it.

I've seen more pedophiles on Yea Forums than anywhere else

Scaruffi has already rated 183 films this year. There have been 153 days in the year so far. That's just films. He's also written multiple essays, put out a book(!!!!), and probably rated at least double the amount of albums and given reviews to a large portion of them as well.
It's really clear in some of his reviews when he only listened to a few songs and he obviously throws 5s and 6s at shit that he has no interest in listening to. When he personally likes or really hates something he relistens enough to write a detailed review. A fucking LOT of his reviews just seem really arbitrary desu, almost like he skipped through to get a feel and then spent a lot and spent more time writing the review than he did listening. Even a lot of his longer reviews it's clear he's not always very familiar with the music. I still love reading him for some reason though.

what are his favourite films and albums?

hard to beat this desu

Yea Forums is 100% full of pedos
the biggest problems there are capeshit/got/star wars fags, pedos jerking off to child actresses, /pol/ b8 that plagues every board, and sneed

sneed is the best meme since baneposting

what the fuck is the point of that

What is sneed? I've just been glazing over it but now I'm curious

it's just shitposting some old simpsons joke to the point where it derails every thread about the simpsons

Yea Forums used to be good but too many peterson frogboys there these days

Take the Tosh pill already

I feel as though one guy on Yea Forums made a good point saying that this place is better than Yea Forums because there's plenty of respect for the classics. TVU, Beach Boys, Beatles, etc are discussed daily on Yea Forums while Yea Forums doesn't ever seen to give a shit about anything that was released before the 2000's. Granted, I am willing to admit the music of the 60's has aged a lot better than the films/television of the same era.

Armond is just a contrarian, Scaruffi is contrarian about a few popular artists but he has good opinions on most things

You misunderstand, modern day audiences can't sit through a film like Lawrence of Arabia. They need action to be happening at every moment as opposed to the minutes long establishing shots of the film. Which in part explains why the adderall filled autists of Yea Forums can't stand epics like LoA. It helps that many audiophile favourites like TVU+N are usually less than, or around, an hour long which makes the hobby more accessible overall than films.

I agree. I find that Scarufi writes the weirdest, contrarian shit on popular artists like the Beatles and Pink Floyd. But his opinions outside of them are totally fine.

You're relating the quality of the content to its accessibility rather than its artistic merit. There are so many good movies from the 60s. It was the beginning of New Hollywood.

I get this, but I wouldn’t say its always how the films aged. There’s so much great classic Hollywood, European, and Asian stuff that arguably has aged better than most overpraised movies from the 90s onwards. It’s the instant gratification of the internet and smartphones that has made everyone so retarded/ADD

>The albums of the last few years are probably the ones you shouldn’t listen to. Let good music shape your brain, not promotional campaigns shape your brain. (Incidentally, the same is true of cinema: i find that Hollywood has declined so precipitously that virtually no Hollywood film of the last 5 years deserves to be watched…why in heaven would anyone waste 2 hours to watch “Spiderman Chapter 623” or “Star Wars Episode #welostcount – The Return of the Return of the Return” when there are so many good films made in the previous 100 years that people haven’t seen yet? The last sequel that was worth watching was Godfather 2, 42 years ago, or the Road Warrior, 35 years ago). If we thought more highly of ourselves, we would not watch bad films and listened to bad music just because they are publicized.

Some of this stuff is worth watching for the Technicolor alone

I haven't been to Yea Forums in a while, do they still talk about Rob Ager?
He's based, the Chris Ott of Yea Forums

I must be confusing some films that are from the 1950's and before then. Some of them I've watched were good, but god damn was the acting in scenes so bad.

he is 100% right

I'll post this to Yea Forums and see what they think. I'll probably get 20 replies and get sent to the archives because of a bunch of Twitter screencap threads.

There are still great movies from the 50s

Based Scaruffi shitting on the culture industry

I think there’s different styles of acting that fit different films. Some movies go for realism, some camp it up for theatrical melodrama, there’s also non-acting. But many movies are also just bad. Ask if yourself if the style fits the format and what the film is trying to accomplish.

Acting from the silent era is arguably better than most from the 1930s and 1940s though. Streetcar named Desire is great though

Also, Sunset Boulevard has great meta-acting

Undoubtedly true, but would the ADD riddled people of today think the same? Probably not unfortunately

I watched it recently and liked it, there are better movies from the 50s though

Why the fuck do you care what other people (especially ones with ADD) think? If a movie is good, then it's good.

This. let the great works be appreciated by those who can and will.

Well those guys are the ones who dominate the discussion on Yea Forums. Say what you will about Yea Forums, but at least can have a thread about a cult art-album like The United States of America s/t without it dying immediately which can't be said for a place like Yea Forums. I seriously don't know why there isn't a /tvg/ or /film/ board.

He just tells it like is.

not like he's seen it

He's autistic.

Anyone that still uses hipster as an insult needs to be put down, that board is awful

You’re right. I don’t know how it’s possible one man could watch 1000 films over the course of 65 years. It means he would have to have watched 10-20 films a year. Idk how that’s possible

I just checked and when people on /mu criticize Scaruffi for whatever reason, it has more merit.

Tv is giving him shit for not seeing the “artistic merit” of shitty sequels and superhero movies

Lawrence is irredeemable shit, bridge on the river kwai is where its at

Yea Forums is probably the most pleb board on Yea Forums, even Yea Forums would probably have better taste

Yea Forums is too busy fapping to cunnies and having celebrity feet day all day

Scaruffi

Armond is a vastly superior writer, reviewer and thinker than Scaruffi

The only good thread on lit for like 4 years now has been the scifi/fantasy one because they actually read the shit they're talking about
Rest of the board is people arguing over books none of them have read

Really? Armond’s music writing is atrocious. He treats Michael Jackson like an infallible god. Overrates plenty of shitty 80s music videos. And once he likes someone, he’ll overpraise everything of theirs, especially mediocre late shit (Morissey, Cyndi Lauper, John Lydon, Beyonce (who he’s only recently turned on for the political nonsense)). He also overvalues lyrics.

It’s a serious mistake to treat pop artists like film auteurs. He might be a better film writer than Scaruffi, not accounting for taste. But even Scaruffi is willing to admit good/great artists often make mediocre work

Armond also has personal beef with Noah Bambauch’s mom or something, and uses this to lash out on his films

> probably rated at least double the amount of albums and given reviews to a large portion of them as well
what? he reviewed less than 100 albums this year

To be honest I've never read Armond talk about music, only films. His prose and reasoning is just of a much higher standard than any Scaruffi review I've read

He obviously hasn't watched them. And if he has watched them, then a has no knowledge on the elements that make movies good. No one could give the same rating to something as disguising as "the visit" with something visually stunning like "blade runner".

What other chan?

To have a place to go to see what ranks as the best shit from a particular year? I find it quite handy

Can you link the page from his site this is from?
