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…

If CES Were Held In Fresno, No One Would Go
I think Tech reporters really only care about CES because it is in Las Vegas. If the show were held in a place like Fresno or Akron does anyone really believe reporters would trek from all over the world to see LG’s new roll-up screen? Of course not….
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…
Why Don’t They Just Call It ‘Viral-Con’
Comics have nothing to do with Comic-Con anymore and they haven’t for many years – so just stop. It’s just about what is popular in culture. They could call it “Pop-U-Con” as well. Sure, there are comic book elements to the show: Batman movies, Batman TV…
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 Verisimilitude Of Sarah Palin

Only Tech Reporters Care About CES
Nearly every major online publication (and print for that matter) are sending at least one reporter to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) – and no one, except those reporters, actually cares what comes out of the show. It’s all the same –…
The Great Media Bloodbath of 2014
5/12/14 UPDATE: AT&T to acquire DirecTV! Lock the doors – it’s scary out there. 2/12/14 UPDATE: Holy Crap, 2014 just got a whole lot uglier (and it was already hideous) with the announcement of Comcast acquiring Time Warner Cable! ORIGINAL POST: It’s coming. Holy shit…
Journalism Is Dead
If other blogs didn’t steal my stuff years ago, I would have said R.I.P. Journalism – but “R.I.P.” as a way of saying a something is dead is also dead. So, what do I mean by “Journalism Is Dead?” Very simple. Journalism is dead. I’ll…
Lloyd Blankfein Is A Douche
It’s my shortest blog of the year – but I think the point is solid. Here’s just one of the many reasons from NYMAG.com Jill Kennedy – OnMedea
