Crash/Crash

David Cronenberg says he "hates" the decision to name the Paul Haggis-directed movie Crash. "Functionally, it¹s stupid. Once they¹re both on the DVD shelves, there¹s going to be confusion."

"I thought [the title] was very disrespectful, not just to me, but to J.G. Ballard. I don¹t know how I would react if I met Haggis. He's also Canadian.

You know, we¹re basically peaceful people, but there was the fur trade, and it got nasty."
