Shame's Late Night Lovers Pile on David Denby

When it rains it pours. Ask David Denby, the embattled, embargo-flouting NYer critic who, over the course of one week, has drawn the wrath of both Scott Rudin and Shame’s unsung co-stars Calamity Chang and DeeDee Luxe — a.k.a. Late Night Lover #1 and #2. Tough crowd! Best known as veteran performers on the NYC burlesque scene, the ladies had already taken Twitter swings at Denby’s NYer colleague (and Shame hater) Anthony Lane a couple weeks ago. This morning, a few days after Denby blogged his own disapproval of the McQueen, the duo returned to their respective Twitter pages for their latest arousing tag-team effort. It all went something like this: .bbpBox{background:url(http://a0.twimg.com/profile_background_images/55790865/Twitter_BG_Final_final.jpg) #9AE4E8;padding:20px;}Denby on “Shame”: The film “is borderline absurd, and I’m amazed that so many people seem to be taking it seriously” http://t.co/yaYOfRDASat Dec 10 22:50:04 via HootSuiteThe NYerNewYorker .bbpBox{background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/274936185/wallpaper2.jpg) #F2A973;padding:20px;}He’s even grouchier!

Seems he had a cathartic journey…Tue Dec 13 09:36:32 via webDeeDee LuxeDeeDeeLuxe .bbpBox{background:url(http://a1.twimg.com/images/themes/theme11/bg.gif) #FF6699;padding:20px;}@CalamityChang Hilariously dramatic-Fasbndr lies naked spread-eagled on his bed, nailed to his cross.

I cannot wait to see what fallout comes of Denby’s inevitable “We Bought the Zoo, or whatever it’s called” takedown. Does Crystal the Monkey tweet? Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter.
