Even so, I&#8217;m trying to imagine how this story can be spun so he doesn&#8217;t come off looking like a complete asshole. Here&#8217;s Ebert&#8217;s version of events.

		<description><![CDATA[Following an Islamic civil rights group&#8217;s call for a name change of Alan Ball&#8217;s upcoming Towelhead, Warner Bros.&#8217; initial response could be paraphrased as something like &#8220;ummm&#8230;no.&#8221;
Yesterday, Alicia Erian, the Arab-American author of the source novel defended the title.
&#8220;As an Arab-American woman, I am of course aware that the title of my book is an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;An Islamic civil rights and advocacy group has asked Warner Bros. to change the title of its upcoming film Towelhead, saying &#8216;the word is commonly used in a derogatory manner against people of the Muslim faith or Arab origin.&#8217; &#8221;
This doesn&#8217;t really need a comment from me, does it?

All it took is one clown spouting off about a friggin&#8217; test screening at AICN and suddenly the idea that David Fincher&#8217;s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is too long is on its way to becoming conventional wisdom.
Next Anne Thompson rings in. I don&#8217;t know if she&#8217;s referring to the AICN piece which had [...]]]></description>

At issue is the frequent use of the word &#8220;retard&#8221; in the film, a Hollywood satire about the filming of a war picture.

So, Meet Dave stiffs in the worst way ($5.25 million opening weekend) and suddenly everyone&#8217;s an Eddie Murphy expert.
Patrick Goldstein puts the kibosh on my pet theory that the movie simply sucks by pointing out that 20th Century Fox practically has a business model predicated on making money off of bad movies. For evidence he [...]]]></description>

Though I never lived through them, I think I miss the studio days when the buzz around a movie or a celebrity&#8217;s image was carefully controlled. At the very least, I&#8217;d like to go back to a time before the Internet when behind-the-camera movie gossip wasn&#8217;t dressed up as breaking news.
