I happen to own From Paris, With Love, because it's an awesome guilty pleasure film. As for Scott Pilgrim, try as I might, I just don't like that film, and I think I'm one of the handful on this board that thinks so. Micheal Cera in the lead just drug that film down for me, and I really wanted to like it. I did like some of the other characters, but I didn't care much for his acting. Maybe if someone else was in the lead I'd be able to get through more than half the film? I'm glad that you all love it, but I just can't. But other than those two films, I didn't see any of the other ones on his list. Get over it & Love Michael Cera! What's that thing supposed to do, hypnotize me? No, it's supposed to give you a splitting headache ... ;D

My point was that he called it "Suck" Pilgrim, it was obvious he didn't like the movie anyway. I don't get the need of doing that instead of just saying you didn't like something like an adult.

That's pretty much it. I hate it when people put swear words or negative things in front of stuff they don't like because it just sounds stupid. Just say you don't like it and move on, you can make your point without sounding immature about it.

I mean if he had used it to denote a person, or a lifestyle, maybe you'd have a point. But entertainment is fair game to tear apart as one pleases. Isn't that why these boards were founded? To tear apart entertainment which does not amuse us? I mean if you like Scott Pilgrim, that's your call. Personally I prefer the Native Americans' side of the story. I think the Pilgrims skewed history a bit to make themselves look good.

It goes both ways. I don't care that he didn't like the movie, I care that he felt the need to insult other people who did in so many words.

He hated Toy Story 3 & Black Swan!? His opinion is officially irrelevant. Both of those movies were f***ing phenomenal! If either Black Swan or Portman fail to win a major award, I riot!

See kids, this why we say don't feed the trolls.
They break free from the net and become movie critics.

Even though I DO like some of the movies he liked, there are far too many excellent films in the "bad" list. He lost me at Milk. The guy's a hack.

But if you called it "in-sheep-tion" that's a direct shot against the fanbase. They got a right to be hostile. on the other hand, if you just said "Inception blows ass" it'd just be a general term of disparagement, and completely on you.

Come on, you know he's trying to get a rise out of folks. I mean just look at him: He even got the troll face going on.

Oh yeah, Armond White, by now, has more or less proven he's just a professional troll.
I honestly think he thinks the opposite about a film, he just reviews them the way he does because he knows it'll = page views, and page views = money from the advertisers on his review pages.
He knew damn well that if he, for example, gave Toy Story 3 a bad review, and thus screwed it out of a perfect Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes that people, in massive droves, would come to his site, read his review, or hell not even read the review just comment on the review, and he'd make major cash.

What's immature about giving something a disparaging nickname? Because, simply put, it's not funny. It just sounds like something something came up with in 5 seconds instead of putting some damn effort into it. I didn't say that at all. Again, all I'm saying is put some effort into it if you're making a joke. 'Suck' Pilgrim just isn't funny and sounds moronic Techically, forums are made so then websites to keep users. I.e. what we used to have with WrestleCrap. It's building communities and all that jazz. Whatever else comes from it comes from it. But again, a lot of posters are popular, funny guys because they put effort into their jokes... ...which was, ironically, what you said was. That was actually funny. Putting cheap, rude words into titles is about as low humour you can get without using bodily functions or offending the world.
