Roger Ebert captured this photograph of New York Times chief film critic A.O. Scott in his Cannes Photo Album. The caption reads:
New York Times film critic A.O. Scott awoke to find a thief had filched his money, passport and computer. "The hotel loaned me a laptop," he said, "but it has a French keyboard, with the keys in different places."Poor, poor, Tony. The Encyclopedia Brown/Lennie Briscoe in us suspects not some Riviera thief looking for jewels but actually all movie producers, writers, actors, publicists, or anyone else who might be affected by a poisonous review (stealing the passport thing - they wanted to strand you in France, not to mention make it look like the usual robbery).
Scott's review of The Day After Tomorrow begins with "The Day After Tomorrow, a two-hour $125 million disaster — excuse me, I mean disaster movie — that opens nationwide on Friday..."

I don't think it was petty theives or industry people. Perhaps someone should take a good look at Elvis Mitchell...
I'm a little disappointed Jen. Usually Gothamist is a leader in timely news, but this was a Page Six story a week ago. And I guess I must also say that my hatred of A.O. Scott actually led me to send Elvis there to steal said laptop. My hatred also blinded me to the idea of a press tent, from which he apparently filed the rest of his critics notebooks.
This is what my fast from gossip did to me! I missed that story. But was there a picture as nice as the one Roger Ebert took? Me thinks not!
I blame Michael Moore.
