Thoughty thinkpiece: Are you gonna embargo my way?
There's a-beefin' a-transpirin' in the USA, as The New Yorker critic David Denby has broken the embargo for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, pissing off producer Scott Rudin in the process. Breaking embargoes, you say? A topic that's mildly hot? Watch out everyone, I'm throwing my hat in the ring! It's the one with the feather in it!

That last line sums up my thoughts entirely.

It's obvious that the studios have all the power, they can decide whether you get to see their film or not. Hell, I found it damn confusing last week on Film 2011 when they couldn't review Hugo because of something they had said about The Rum Diary. Either Claudia Winklemann said it wrong, or the studios are also trying to crush the whole "freedom of speech" thing that's been going on for the last gazillion years.
