nytbanner1An article on Tuesday about DreamWorks Studios’ completion of a round of financing its and announcement of some film projects included an incorrect title for one of the movies. It will be called “Dinner For ********,” a Yiddish vulgarism meaning jerks, used only once in the article. The film is not “Dinner With ********.” Link

    The LA Times still has the error posted on their “Company Town” blog. I find this a bit odd considering the NYT article published the same day as the LA Times article, and NYT lists Los Angeles as the location, so I can only assume that they read the same press release or the NYT published their article after the LA Times. Either way, it's amusing to me that the LA Times still hasn't realized their error or made an effort to correct it.
