Quote Of the Day: David Cronenberg – Hollywood Still Hates Paul Haggis

“I’ve told [him] that he was an asshole basically for doing that. And so have many other people. It’s very disrespectful, not only to me, but to J.G. Ballard, who wrote the book . . . I made my movie . . . in a very respectful way. Haggis just co- opted the title, and he knew what he was doing.” —David Cronenberg was more than a little unhappy that hack Paul Haggis nicked the title “Crash” for his hamfisted film about race and the “intersections of life.” [New York Press/Vulture]
