You Haven’t Got It
I’m back. Thank God. I didn’t blog most of the past year because I was writing a book that I got actual money for (just so you know, blogs don’t really pay) and because I just didn’t have an angle. Not sure I do now…

Hollywood Studios’ Only Chance For Long-Term Survival
GO PRIVATE. There will never – ever – be enough growth and margin improvement to satisfy Wall Street. Maybe short-term the studios will get a bump by telling investors they are going to make 100 comic book movies over the next 5 years – but after…
Another Genius Move By Marvel
And that is not sarcastic. Today, on “The View“ it was announced that the Marvel character “Thor” will now be a woman in the comic books. This is NOT the real God that people actually worshiped a thousand years ago or so (Manka Bros. is a producing…

The first draft of my book is finished (more on that in the coming weeks) and I am back on the job here at OnMedea. It was an excellent summer with lots of quiet and lots of work. Other than the entire media spectrum going…
The New York Post Gets It Wrong… Again
Seriously, what is their problem? Just because some guy says 12 are dead – doesn’t mean you post it. Even Rupert Murdoch should know that (maybe not). Jill Kennedy – OnMedea
Stuck Between Old and New Media
Hollywood is stuck. New York is stuck. Silicon Valley is stuck. No one can really do anything too exciting because old media is still hanging around – refusing to give up the crown. Don’t get me wrong – OLD MEDIA IS DYING – but they’re…
