But sometimes we need Pauline Kaels and in some sort of unoriginal way, White is definitely needed.<BR/><BR/>I do get his point, especially when he refers to the REELZ TV Movie Mob show. If you've seen it, it's pretty horrible and mind numbing. I'll come straight out and say it. A lot of those people sending webcams of themselves talking about movies suck. I wouldn't want to hang around them for a minute. A snob? Maybe, but I like to think that after 34 years on this planet, I've got a lot less time to make friends with zero taste and an affinity for 15 minutes of fame, no matter how trivial.<BR/><BR/>The show also gives an insight to why such bad movies are being made today. I won't say they have no taste, they're just passive about their entertainment. The weaker, the better. And more like a video game.<BR/><BR/>Not all young film bloggers today are like this and it shows in their writing and their knowledge. Unfortunately, Mr. White likes to paint with a very broad brush sometimes, which doesn't endear him to a lot of readers. <BR/><BR/>Mr. White also goes looking for things that aren't there either, which can sometimes be a good thing. Other times, he looks downright insane. His BRAVE ONE critique? Ha! It's nothing but DEATH WISH, and anyone who's actually seen DEATH WISH couldn't be fooled. Only this time Charles Bronson and Martin Balsam might fall in love. Anything else is what you read into it.<BR/><BR/>And that's what makes Armond White essential. He's not a passive moviegoer. He writes and hopes you may learn something about film, rather than behind the screen squabbles and the reasons for lousy box-office. He's a rare breed in a major city rag even if it does seem he's almost at odds with his film snobbery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047429527902019331.post-29679584814985128872008-05-27T01:13:00.000-07:002008-05-27T01:13:00.000-07:00this is nice article i really enjoy it jasmine cel...this is nice article i really enjoy it <BR/><A HREF="http://cool-hotstuff.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"><BR/>jasmine celion<BR/>cool-hotstuff.blogspot.com</A>jessica.celionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970062087249058719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047429527902019331.post-56037913326812634742008-05-25T19:29:00.000-07:002008-05-25T19:29:00.000-07:00I thought you had a good article, good points, and...I thought you had a good article, good points, and you have a good reason to blog.sophomorecritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320637485303592977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047429527902019331.post-17825280969609872512008-05-14T23:31:00.000-07:002008-05-14T23:31:00.000-07:00Thanks for making me sound smarter than I am.
