Feuds between Hollywood folks
Head over to premiere.com their list of 10 feuds from Hollywood. I wanted to mention a few of them and give my three cents.
Megan Fox vs. Michael Bay: I’ve covered this one a lot on my blog, but I still think Fox’s attack on Bay was a PR move to take away the heat the critics were giving her on her performance in TF2. She was getting the brunt of the blame.
Paul Schrader vs. Steven Spielberg: I knew nothing about this one. I remember reading and watching a lot of behind the scenes stuff about Close Encounters, but this kind of few under the radar for me. This was probably covered in the making of on the DVD, but I missed it.
Armond White vs. Noah Baumbach: I remember this one and I got a kick out of Armond getting banned from screenings from Noah’s films. If you don’t know, I really hate Mr. White a lot. If White suggested the demise of Noah in one review, Noah has every right to ban his ass.
Orson Welles vs. Peter Sellers: Yes, this one was legendary. Things got so bad on the old comedy movie Casino Royale set between these two that they refused to film together. Back then, Hollywood feuds were really big.
Yeah, Spielberg Schader is very interesting from what I've read.

Thanks, MC. I'm going to give this a read after class today in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder if today's Spielberg feels the same way today about the script
Given the fact that it seems that no one liked it, I think he likely feels the same.
ReplyDeleteokay, that makes sense. I thought Steven might have changed his mind a bit because he's such a different director today than what he was 20 years ago.
