from the new york magazine, an excellent profile of the nutty film critic Armond White.

I actually agree with some of Mr. White's choices though I'm not sure of his rhetoric. And I agree with what he says about THE DARK KNIGHT.

As for Spielberg being the equal of John Ford, well I'll say he's better than George Stevens at least. Comparing Spielberg to Ford is like comparing Buddy Holly with Bach.

Some of you may be interested in knowing that Critic Armond White is making a special presentation on Michael Jackson in New York City.

It's entitled Keep Moving: Michael Jackson's Video Art.

The presentation focuses on Michael Jackson's innovations in the music video genre. It takes place at the end of August and will be at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Armond White made a similar presentation on Michael Jackson in January of 2008. You can google a clip from THAT presenation on Google or YouTube. Simply type 'Armond White on Michael Jackson's Legacy' and it should come up.

Oh, what the heck. Here's a review:
