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…

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….
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…
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 –…

OK – I know NBC has been on a really bad run lately – but things are definitely looking up! I just received an email alert from the Hollywood Reporter announcing that Christina Ricci has agreed to star in… wait for it… wait for it……
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…
For Broadcast Networks, the end is coming and it’s time for them to Accept their fate. (The 2012 Emmy Nominations only strengthen this point.) This isn’t to say ABC, CBS, FOX, MBS, NBC, Univision and The CW (and similar Broadcast Networks around the world) are…
What is it going to take for TBS (or any other Basic Cable channel) to get a little respect? I watched the premiere week of Conan and thought it was fine and exactly what I expected (which is a slight disappointment, right?). (Also, why was…
