With the upcoming death of Sumner Redstone (any day now based on how he looked in recent photos) and the increasing dementia of Rupert Murdoch, it’s clear there is soon to be only one true Hollywood mogul remaining. And that is me. As with the “Last of the Mohicans,” moguls in Hollywood used to be …

Good morning. I am back from the hellhole that was Austin, Texas and the that waste of time known as SXSW. If there was any positive that came out of my keynote address it was that my security guard kicked the Foo Fighters’ asses. Truly the only enjoyable moment of my trip. This morning, I …

Due to the uncertainty of the fiscal cliff, the fact that my taxes are going up, the shitty year Manka Bros. has had at the box office, the crappy television shows that were produced for our horrible television networks, declining music sales and the frightening losses in our Publishing Group, I have decided to cancel the 2012 Manka Bros. Employee Holiday Party that was to be held …

Hello from the Seychelles! I was interrupted during my morning para-scuba excursion with the news that Ross Levinsohn is leaving Yahoo! Is Yahoo! really that stupid? Every month it’s a new high level executive on the market. Who needs headhunters when you have ex-Yahoo! CEOs out there? [Note to Marissa Mayer: Call me in a …

It seems that Silicon Valley and Wall Street are going ape shit over the fact that Scott Thompson didn’t really go to college or didn’t get a degree in whatever he said he got one in – or whatever. At Manka Bros., we could care less about that crap and I would like to offer …

Good morning. I noticed on today’s This Date In Manka History (March 12, 1958) that 54 years ago today, my Uncle Simeon died. The next day, his body was flown back his birthplace (Yambol, Bulgaria) for burial. My asshole father, Harry, did not attend nor did he talk to Simeon during the last five years …

UPDATE: And now we can add Bob Iger to the list below. The coward couldn’t stick it out like a real mogul would. Real moguls don’t retire. ——– This morning, about 11:00, I had an epiphany. I was trying to think of someone in this fucking town that I wanted to have lunch with today. …

Good morning. This afternoon, I will be leaving for my house in the Seychelles and probably won’t return until after Labor Day. (Quick reminder: Labor Day is not a Holiday at Manka Bros. – this was my father’s thing for some reason and I will uphold the tradition.) Manka Bros. is having a terrible year …
