Here's a better list of 50 author-on-author barbs.

That site just jacked it from Examiner.com and trimmed it, apparently.

18. Tim Burton on Kevin Smith (after Smith jokingly accused Burton of stealing the ending of Planet of the Apes from a Smith comic book):
“Anyone who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I would especially never read anything created by Kevin Smith.”

19. Kevin Smith on Tim Burton (in response to “I would never read a comic book”):
“Which, to me, explains fucking Batman.”

Most excellent.

yeahhhh... the '89 Batman should have definitely have had Batman in purple underwear outside his cloths & a underage side kick who wears see through tights.

Wow...let me guess, you think Burton invented the darker version of Batman.

Anton Newcombe's comment on Eric Clapton is sickening, what a prick.

It's Anton Newcombe.

24. Vincent Gallo on Sofia (and Francis Ford) Coppola:
“Sofia Coppola likes any guy who has what she wants. If she wants to be a photographer she’ll fuck a photographer. If she wants to be a filmmaker, she’ll fuck a filmmaker. She’s a parasite just like her fat, pig father was.”

Jesus Christ, what a royal dickhead.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Heh, wow, Burton Batman is shit and Clint Eastwood is a boring director.

Never change GAF.

well Clapton is kind of piece of racist shit, he should of at least targeted that aspect of his horrible personality.

I thought this was really funny for some reason:

20. Richey Edwards on The Levellers
“You could go to any Levellers concert and stand in the middle and shout, ‘Jeremy!’, and 75% of the audience would turn round.”

What does that even mean?

2. William Faulkner on Mark Twain (1922)

“A hack writer who would not have been considered fourth rate in Europe, who tricked out a few of the old proven sure fire literary skeletons with sufficient local color to intrigue the superficial and the lazy.”

...did Faulkner not, like, read his own work? this is far more descriptive of him. Unless this is meant to be ironic?

I assume it's how you said "fucking hipsters" in the 90's. Not completely sure though =)

 

[MisterHero]

But Kevin Smith's Batman writing sucks even more than the Schumacher Batman movies

15. Francis Bacon on Henri Matisse:
“I’ve never liked his things very much, except the very, very early things… I loathe them. I can never see what there is to it, with all those squalid little forms. I can’t bear the drawings either — I absolutely hate his line. I find his line sickly.”

My Man! This is why I love Francis Bacon.

24. Nicolas Poussin on Caravaggio:
“Carvaggio’s art is painting for lackeys. This man has come into the world to destroy painting.”

Fuck you, buddy. Caravaggio eats you for breakfast.

Note that most of these artists don't list any specifics regarding the art that they're criticizing. It's almost like they're doing it just to be petty! /sarcasm

most ironic comment goes to Kevin Smith's jab at PTA....and than DGG's next comment in a post-Your Highness world.

I LOLed. Your Highness is worth 8 billion Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Backs.
