Armond White (takes on Rotten Tomatoes, bloggers and rest of Internet hoi polloi)

I find this critic quite annoying, honestly... Anyone else feels the same?

[Batman1980]

Other critics have mentioned he is not to be taken seriously, he's basically a critic that bashes everything that's popular in a poor attempt to be cool.

He's a troll.

That's all.

Strangely enough, the only people that seem to be bothered by him are people who are worried that he will negatively affect the Tomato-meter or Metacritic rating for some movie they either really enjoy or possibly haven't even seen yet.

Can't really say who's worse in this scenario.

We have a winner...

[Lord_Stewie]

[Foggy]

Looking at it, he slates films, but he gives them what rating he really feels at the end!

Professional dignity is the last thing Internetters respect. Their loudmouth enmity and lack of knowledge are so overwhelming that it is imperative to put this crisis in perspective.
