Here's an interesting industry-related story. One week after having the most successful movie in box office history, Disney announces that they're cutting back production and slashing jobs. Here's a story from the Globe and Mail about it.
Their logic? Perfect, by the diminished artistic standards of the modern film world. Essentially it boils down to "Why make movies that might flop when we can make a big theme-park movie that can spawn toys, video games and all kinds of residual markets?" Say goodbye to the Coen Brothers, say hello to Gore Verbinski.
Icky.
