He always stood out because if a movie only had like 3 negative reviews you could count on one of them being his, same went for universally panned movies, one of the rare positive reviews would be from him. He keeps his streak alive with Get Out. Though looking at his ratings, he did give both Hidden Figures and Fences positive ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I wonder when it's fresh streak will end. I remember Boyhood made it to a little under 200 before it got a few rottens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but he gave negatives to LLL, Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, Loving, Rogue One.... and he liked Assassins Creed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I wouldn't give LLL a negative...It gets far more praise than it deserves, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? No. He's a fucking hack. The points he makes in any and all reviews are contrived to drive clicks to himself. He's a waste of space in the movie reviewer community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Might be my favourite movie of the year so far. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Armond White's love of the Transformers franchise and hatred of Toy Story made me think that Baumer was just the white version of him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fun to read because he's so crazy contrarian. And who knows, every once in a blue moon I agree with something he says. But honestly, so much of fan-driven internet stuff is based on mutual circle jerks it's often refreshing to read something that goes completely against all that, even if it's (usually) ludicrous. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The Dear White People trailer IS really stupid and stereotypical tho, so criticism is warranted. Dismissing people by saying they probably haven't seen the trailer is dumb lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Could this really get a BP nomination next year? It would've seemed insane before but there maybe a chance now given how much all the critics love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dismissing people by saying they probably haven't seen the trailer is dumb lol lmao what is stupid about it? Are you familiar at all with the original movie that the series is based on (that did not receive the excessive backlash of this tv show)? It's satire. The girl is someone who has a radio show called "Dear white People" that everyone in the school is offended by and the movie revolves around and about characters struggling with their identities. I mean the title is meant to be provocative obviously. The backlash boils down to "It's anti white people." which is so stupid. And the attempted boycott of Netflix is hilarious. Anyway I don't want to talk about this on this thread. You can PM me or something if you want lol. Edited February 25, 2017 by ban1o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'm saying it went from impossible to there is a mathematical chance. Tough that it does have that huge gap between the next cycle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
