It's what we've all been waiting for, ain't it?

Remember the part where I said I wouldn't bring up Armond White again?

I lied.







It's just too good to pass up. This man is a machine.

The critical reception of The Social Network has been pretty good. Mostly, it's been given minor praise. About it, critics have said pretty standard things such as, "the movie of the year," "truly great" and that it defines the past decade. 

Potential hyperbole aside, "define the past decade?" That is not a quote to be taken lightly. This movie is clearly of some importance. 

So somebody! Somebody, please, take it down a notch! Someone please see through the overbearing quality that has blinded so many of your peers! PLEASE! The world is too imperfect a place to not benefit from your keen insights and pointed self-agrandizement!

Enter Sir Armond White. Who else can the world rely on to whirl up enough spiteful energy to sling another wildly impertinent series of words designed to combat its author's own attention indigence but the King of Contraria himself?

Thank you, Armond. Thank you. The movie industry can only hope that the brilliant films you slander see half as many ticket sales as your thesaurus sees use.

And for those of you who haven't encountered Slash Film's discussion with White, check it out. Your opinion of him will go from celebrity troll, to genius performance artist, to certifiable sociopath quite quickly.
