"2011's Better-Than List"- Armond White- CityArts
It’s not really a new year until we get White’s batshit opinions about the previous year. Like this:
”Adam Sandler’s affectionate, very broad ethnic satire defies Alexander Payne’s smug denial of America’s ethnic history. Humility vs. Sanctimony.”
Or this:
“David Gordon Green indulges his love of fiction and adolescence while college dropout Woody Allen name drops and disrespects his literary betters. Humor vs. Hoax.”

Really, the movie actually ended up being better than the book. Fincher didn’t disappoint. Oh, and….
Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo > Oplev’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Jay-Z and Kanye West certainly stuck to the cue from the Blades of Glory sample that kicks off their song “Ni**as in Paris”: “We’re gonna skate to one song, and one song only.” Rolling Stone’s Jeff Rosenthal crunches the numbers on the smash hit, which has gotten more than its fair share of play – by its own creators. On average per show, “Ni**as in Paris” was played 4.94 times, and in Vancouver, it was played 11 times in one night, topping the Los Angeles show the night before of 10 plays.
Other stats include:
168: Total number of times “Ni**as in Paris” played in concert.
28: Total number of minutes of Blades of Glory dialogue, when played 168 times.
298.6: Ticketholders per “CRAY.”
$3.50: Cost of a Filet-o-Fish at McDonald’s.
$3,305.00: Secondary-market value for a floor seat to Watch The Throne’s opening night in Atlanta (10/28).
944: Filet-o-Fish’s that could buy.
