Word has it that Warner Bros. is selling off its animation division to Paramount so that Jeffrey Katzenberg can explore the entire Bugs Bunny oeuvre. Time-Warner's Cartoon Network will remain part of the empire, but as part of this deal, a number of Nickelodeon Shows will air exclusively on Cartoon Network. Meanwhile, Nickelodeon will remake all of the classic Warner Bros cartoons in 3D CG.
I saw The Inside Man… don't feel much like writing about The Inside Man…
Saw a terrific documentary called Gay Sex In The 70s… don't feel much like writing about Gay Sex In The 70's…
Columns that need writing include… well, every time I preview pieces, they end up being written elsewhere first. All I'll say is that next week should be a good column week.
Oh, did I mention that the first paragraph was a little April Fool's Day preview?
Right now, the entire business feels like death by a 1000 cuts. Every studio but Fox remains "in play," in one way or another. The question about shortening the DVD window seems to be swinging back towards slowing down instead of speeding up… yet at the same time, the are some very specific rumors about the window being sped up exponentially. The web keeps growing, but doesn't seem to be improving. Print media is more nervous than a turkey on Halloween. Etc, etc, etc. But there is nothing much to do but to wait to see what steps various players take. Until then, it's jibber jabber, chat chat chat.
And so comes one of those weekends… Sharon Stone's breasts… Queen Latifah as a wooly mammoth… leeches, not set in L.A…. and Warner Bros trying to sell a movie to black people. Phew!
See you next week…
