stop liking popular films

I was overjoyed when I heard that this charlatan had finally died, but I was also saddened by the fact that he hadn't suffered that much before deciding that he could insult film criticism no longer. The pain and suffering that he went through is only a fraction of the evil that he inflicted on the millions of cinematically illiterate teenagers. When I found out that the old fart had finally decided to not assault the public with his adolescent approach to art, I pulled off the framed picture of Armond White from my wall, kissed it reverently, and immediately embarked on a Korine marathon. Good riddance, you jawless hack.

Is /tv/ the most cucked board?

Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 both masterpieces according to Armond
>his boyfriend loved them

>Armond is a contrarian
you dumb redditor

He is one, but not for the sake of being one, but for the sake of the argument itself.

Arnold likes popular films like Transformers and Adam Sandler.

Adam Sandler isn't a film you fucking simpleton cunt.

Honestly if those are his actual opinions I have even less respect for him than if he's just baiting the internet to get clicks and get paid.

The misunderstood critic

>>80326649
I've never read anything from Armond where he talks about a boyfriend, for all his intimate knowledge of film, and his extremely descriptive detail of sexual themes in films, he strikes me as a celibate gay negro. Like the contradiction of Christianity and homosexuality has left him celibate.

>when he misreads a movie and thinks people are going to hate it so he praises it
>everyone comes out praising it
>or vice versa

Rare, but it's happened a few times now. Now he just backpedals and changes the review.

He's not even a contrarian though, just look at this list, a bunch of Steven Spielberg movies, and a bunch of Foreign language or indie shit, that nobody except critics watch. It might be "contrarian" to like Brian De Palma, but makes objective kino

that's hilarious.

it's also funny how obviously guilt tripped every single reviewer on rotten tomatoes is. all you have to do is appeal to the left and you get good reviews, it's an utter disgrace.
