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….
The Twilight Of The Katzenberg
It’s going to be a long summer for Jeffrey Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation. It may just be the last summer those two names are associated with each other. Sure, they’ve got “How To Train Your Dragon 2” coming out. And, sure, it’ll do $500 million…
Aereo Will Fail
Make no mistake – there is no chance Aereo will survive longer than two or three years. That’s a best-case scenario. Broadcast Networks are dying (it’s true) and will be dead in their current form within five years. In five years, who is going to…

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…

2013: Endgame For Moguls
Old Hollywood just got another year older and closer to death. In fact, it’s getting harder and harder for Old Hollywood to get out of bed in the morning. Food doesn’t taste as good. Hangovers are a daily occurrence. In short, Old Hollywood is not…
NICKMOM – R.I.P.
It’s very possible Nickmom will set the record for the world’s shortest running network. There is no other option for this laughable disgrace than a total cancellation. In fact, there are only three absolute certainties in this life: 1) The sun will rise in the east;…
AMPAS Looks To The Future
Hawk Koch was named President of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences today. Like his aggressive name suggests, this is a bold choice from an extremely bold organization. To have the balls to choose the old media film producer son of an old…
Don’t Blame Superman
Today, I read an analyst report written by Vasily Karasyov of Susquehanna Financial Group titled “The Death of Superheroes”. Salacious title? Certainly. A title that would get the attention of every media executive around the world? Absolutely. A title that’s total bullshit? Definitely. According to…
