Variety Rips Off CHUD.com

The headline says it all really. It is the same headline Devin Faraci uses in his article about.

Faraci did a story about a film called Zyzzyx Road and how it only made thirty dollars. The film was released in one theater in Dallas. Well, Faraci's story has been making the rounds if Internet sites. Apparently, Variety decided to do a story on the same topic, but it looks like they even lifted quotes from Faraci's article without giving any credit to him or to Chud.com.

The reporter form Variety should be fired. There is no excuse for a writer to not site their sources. Variety should also make a full public apology to Faraci and Chud.com.

But, you can't expect much out of the publication from Peter Bart who seems increasingly out of touch with the rest of the world and even the people from his business (movies) and the people who support that business.
