Poland's attack

Posted by Jeffrey Wells on December 29, 2006 at 08:57 PM

David Poland indulged in some attractively debonair potty-mouth name-calling in his Hot Blog coverage of George Hickenlooper's angry HE post earlier today about JWEgo's postings about Hickenlooper, etc. He referred to my column as "Hollywood El-Swear" and equated my output with internet pornography -- what a pissy, pathetic little bitch Poland can be at times. He also referred to me as George Hickenlooper's "buttboy." That's a really sophisticated way of saying I like George because I've liked several of his films, etc. David has, of course, never had any friendly relationships with any filmmakers whose work he's written about with a kind, admiring, even-toned or gently circumspect brush. That's because David is a special guy. Better than me, better than Patrick Goldstein, better than Tom O'Neil...more perceptive, ballsier...a principled prince among men.

David Poland? Oh, I remember him! Wasn't he the guy that predicted Phantom of the Opera would win Best Picture?

I seem to recall a certain someone refering to dead U.S. soliders in Iraq as "stiffs". You're just as bad...if not worse

Well it certainly makes more sense than calling live soldiers stiffs, eh?

Posted by: Ian Sinclair at December 29, 2006 10:13 PM

Worth noting, he also said, "The only really interesting thing here is a grown up actually putting a bounty on an anonymous commenter's head and losing his shit in a public forum." And Factory Girl "...is worth seeing for film lovers."

I know he is but what are you? Takes one to know one. Whoever smelt it, dealt it. Whoever denied it, supplied it. Nyah!

Did anybody remember to bring the VHS of Transformers: The Movie?

Does Poland realize Hickenlooper wasn't responding to a single isolated comment from JWEgo and that JWEgo has been ridiculing and criticizing and making claims about Hickenlooper for almost as long as Wells has been talking about Factory Girl?

You know, I get he doesn't like Wells, but am I wrong in thinking he's being more than a bit of a tool in this case?

Posted by: cjKennedy at December 30, 2006 01:44 AM

I'm thinking that he folded so quickly and gutlesssly under pressure that he should retire the JWEgo shtick and think up another troll. But he's probaby done that already anyway.

Posted by: hiviper at December 30, 2006 02:10 AM

to cjKennedy:
a) either he does know Hickenlooper and insider information, which I doubt, or..
b) he knew he could eventually bring out Hickenlooper to respond, which is what most trolls crave.

Posted by: hiviper at December 30, 2006 02:20 AM

oh, cjkennedy one more on that last one:
talking about the the JWEgo troll not Poland. Poland I could give a shit about. He bores me.

Posted by: hiviper at December 30, 2006 02:26 AM

hiviper, I understand JWEgo and his ilk and find it easy to ignore him. I suppose it's fair to say Hickenlooper overreacted, but the mystery to me is Poland's need to pile on. I guess it's my mistake to expect more from him.

Posted by: cjKennedy at December 30, 2006 02:29 AM

Oh and Craptastic? Get off the 'stiffs' thing. There are plenty of reasons to be pissed off at Wells, but that's an especially foolish one.

Posted by: cjKennedy at December 30, 2006 02:32 AM

cj: hear hear

Posted by: hiviper at December 30, 2006 02:40 AM

hear hear

oh, and hiviper: glad there's someone else who knows how to spell "hear hear"

Posted by: Ian Sinclair at December 30, 2006 07:38 AM

For what it's worth, I hope Hickenlooper finds JWEgo and sues him back into the stone age.

Posted by: Circumvrent at December 30, 2006 11:21 AM

So Jeff: Is Hickenlooper a stiff (wink-wink, nudge-nudge, know what I mean)? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Posted by: Joe Leydon at December 30, 2006 12:20 PM

Poland is probably just pissed off about your CHILDREN OF MEN blurb.

Maybe as much as Spielberg fans are of your alleged "take-down" of MUNICH.

Posted by: Dixon Steele at December 30, 2006 12:54 PM

The Hollywood-El-Swear "shot" doesn't really hold up when Poland refers to JW as George's buttboy. How is typing buttboy somehow more adult, composed, and refined than using the term buttboy?
