Dragons VS Zoos

Uh oh. It appears that The New Yorker’s film critic, David Denby, was a naughty boy and prematurely ejaculated his review of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Denby saw the film under the agreement that he wouldn’t release his review until at least 13 December but decided to release it anyhow on 5 December. Apparently he didn’t want to embarrass the sanctity of The New Yorker by reviewing craptastic We Bought a Zoo (a film that His Highness Harvey Weinstein didn’t even make even though Weinstein Books published the book on which the film is based). 

Dragon Tattoo producer, Scott Rudin, retaliated against Denby’s breach of contract by heatedly telling him “You’ve very badly damaged the movie by doing this, and I could not in good conscience invite you to see another movie of mine again.”

Scott Rudin is ANGRY

 

Honestly, I feel like Scarlett Johookersson, star of We Have a Forgettable Zoo, is behind this. You know she was just pissed that Denby basically said her attempt at making a family film was shite without even taking the time to write about it. So, naturally, she put on a bikini, made her voice breathier and lips puffier than usual, knocked on Rudin’s door and said, “We need to talk.” Tattle tale. 

Also, sidenote: I am TOTALLY available to fill in for Denby while he recovers from this whopping 

wrist slap. Seriously. I studied film, I write reviews regularly, and I am such a cinephile that I begin my days by watching such film classics as Mean Girls, Monster-In-Law and Death Becomes Her. I’m so beyond qualified it frightens even me.
