13232663, Armond White is the most frustratingly entertaining critic to read.....

Armond's opinions are, typically, gigantic reaches that read well but are confounding as hell. Also, he tends to give the older generation of directors way too much credit for films that are just decent while totally shitting on younger directors for doing a lot of the same.
I wonder if his opinions would be different if he didn't write for the National Review.
