For folks like me:

ex·co·ri·ate ( P ) (k-skôr-t, -skr-)
tr.v. ex·co·ri·at·ed, ex·co·ri·at·ing, ex·co·ri·ates
1- To tear or wear off the skin of; abrade.
2- To censure strongly; denounce: an editorial that excoriated the administration for its inaction.


So I have to ask: does Spielberg's skin fit nicely?
