Apuzzo Lied, People Said "Who The Fuck Is Appuzo?"

Tbogg has some good, clean fun at the expense of Jason Apuzzo, pretend filmmaker and husband of a positive immigrant maid.

While waiting for a sugar daddy to bankroll his next epic, Mr. Apuzzo has taken up fiction writing -- Only he wants you suckers to think it's nonfiction.

Writing about real filmmaker Paul Weitz, the fauxteur says:

This 'satire' from Universal Pictures deals with Pakistani suicide bombers out to kill the US president. The film stars Hugh Grant, Richard Dreyfuss, Willem Dafoe and Mandy Moore. According to writer-director Paul Weitz ("American Pie"), "The film is a comic examination of ... cultural obsessions" like the War on Terror "and how they can anaesthetise us to the actual issues of our day."

In reality, Weitz said:

"The film is a comic examination of our cultural obsessions and how they can anaesthetise us to the actual issues of our day."

Did Weitz actually call the "war on terror" a "cultural obsession"? No. By doctoring Weitz's words, Apuzzo tries to make it seem like Weitz said something he didn't say. Some might call it defamation. It's certainly dishonest.

Will the right-wing arselickers -- and Assrockets -- who cite this cut-and-paste tool as an expert on Hollywood castigate their boy for fabricating quotes? Don't hold your breath.

(And don't give me any of that maybe Appuzo didn't know the real quote crap.)
