David Edelstein sets the record straight

Edelstein destroys Armond White once for all with this posting to the movie club:

"John E. Freeland writes to point out that your declaration that "Any class of journalist (or wannabe film critics in the Voice poll) who can contribute matchsticks to erect an edifice saluting Richard Linklater is unworthy of the art form that produced Griffith, Welles, Godard, Kael, and Sarris" overlooks the fact that Sarris named Before Sunset the best movie of the year. So by your lights, even Sarris is unworthy of the medium that produced him!"

Hopefully Armond will have the decency to quit posting to the movie club this year.
