ALARM! :: I should have told you that movies in the afternoon are my weakness.

This is why I love Armond White...

...because he writes reviews that begin with sentences like:
"Adam Sandler removes everything that made Robert Aldrich’s 1974 The Longest Yard funny and interesting."
Even when he is deliriously wrong, as he so often is*, he is a virtuosic, supernaturally gifted essayist, an urban journalistic superhero pummeling the enemies of Bad Cinema with an unrelenting assault of arch vitriol.
