The New York Post 's "Page Six" column is reporting on
the "vitriolic" war of words being waged between Internet
gossip mongers Harry Knowles (Ain't It Cool News) and
Matt Drudge (The Drudge Report) over comments by
Drudge about the surprise twist at the end of Planet of the
Apes. Knowles tears into Drudge for not posting a
traditional "spoiler" warning, an omission, he writes, that
"only a complete and total bleephole would commit."
Drudge responded: "Reporting on a controversial
news-making scene in a coming movie ... is called a
spoiler?" Alluding to Knowles' renowned girth, Drudge
continued that he thought the term "spoiler" applied to "the
many cakes, brownies, cookies, eclairs, doughnuts,
Ho-Hos and Snoballs currently rotting under your
keyboard."


The Drudgester sound like the bigger idiot in this.... :p

Drudge told people the ending without warning. Hes an absolute w*****, and should be sued for every penny in his measily existence.


BTW, I think Ive heard the ending, and it isnt that controversial

I don't really visit either of those sites because they're wrong so often, but Drudge does sound like he's being an idiot. I'm glad I don't visit his site.

well--it is a way to get people to look at his site, for higher ratings:)

other than that, It was very wrong of him to post it with out a look out spoiler on the topic.

Drudge is an idiot and I knew this before this incident and I have never gone to sight and never plan to. He is the guy that used to be on Fox News but he started showing aborted fetus pictures and then Fox told him to stop and he still did it and they fired him.

They're both idiots. AICN sucks so hard and I refuse to go anywhere NEAR that crock of shite.

Where do I start?!!?

a) So called rumours more often than not published as fact are nothing short of rot

b) He's usually wrong about damn near everything.

c) Self important pratt and annoying as anything. Man, give my Cranky Critic or Mr Filthy. At least they can be funny

THats what a rumour is :) . The page tells rumours. And I knew Ewan McGregor was in TPM before most others because of here. And the one upon a time in mexico coverage is top notch


b) He's usually wrong about damn near everything.
Suppose theres the biggie. If his opinions different to yours, youd dislike it


My only problem really is the summer reviews are awful (The Tomb Raider and Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back reviews were AWFUL!)
