Re: The Armond White Thread
Odie Henderson from the Boston Globe wrote a much better “negative” review. Charlie Kirk being described as a peaceful debater was perfectly placed though-had it come any sooner, I don’t know if I would have made through the piece.

Right away he’s calling Lubitsch’s worst American film the greatest romantic comedy of the past 80+ years, this is going to be great!

He's losing it, most of his "better than" picks are actually good movies

It’s very funny to read a column in the National Review of all places all about how superior French culture is to American culture.

I'm a That Uncertain Feeling apologist, but calling it "profound" goes too far even for me.domino harvey wrote: Fri Jan 16, 2026 9:28 pm Right away he’s calling Lubitsch’s worst American film the greatest romantic comedy of the past 80+ years, this is going to be great!

Being informed that there is a new Julián Hernández film out there > Discovering that there is a new Adam Sandler film out there

I will be interested to see what, if anything, Armond White does with this.

Re: The Armond White Thread
Ha! I'm fairly impressed by how White found a way to thread the needle on this one. He was able to hate the film (as we expected he would given its politics) and hate other reviewers who hated the movie because of their perceived politics. The man sure understands his brand. We have to give him that.
There is at least one line in this review that makes me believe White thinks we all call a shovel a "Digger."
