Piracy & News by The Hot Blog

It's an interesting discussion... Phil Spector was found guilty today. Vikram Jayanti made a wonderful documentary about Spector for BBC2 - The Agony & The Ecstasy of Phil Spector - that ran a week on the BBC2 website then was pulled down after...

Date Rape Redux by The Hot Blog

I'm not sure what is more disturbing... David Edelstein using someone who has not seen the film as the standard for moral outrage over Observe & Report OR David Edelstein oversimplifying both the argument that the date rape in the film is offensive...

Baby, The Sky Must Fall by The Hot Blog

I wish the discussions of the future could be had without the hysteria. Jeff Jarvis went all drama queen after the New York Times did a story about the AP trying to find a legal way to regain control of their content . Thing is, this IS the discussion...

Another Veteran Gone by The Hot Blog

So now... Peter Bart gets kicked up and out. (Remember when The Hollywood Reporter did the same to Bob Dowling a few years back?) This was inevitable, but not quite a solution. Bart was in the way of the future. Bart is no longer in the way of the future...

Sunday Morning Coming Down by The Hot Blog

And so... Roger Friedman is dead at Fox... I wish I could say, "Long Live Roger Friedman," but he should fall into the void... but won't. I would expect a Crazy Nikki-esque standalone site before the month is out, likely financed (silently...

More On Friedman by The Hot Blog

Not really good enough. The projectionist incident still stands as an example of how the company acts. And "taking it down" is definitely not a real answer. It's not the effect of the posting - as no one who is not in the business or in...

A Firing Offense? by The Hot Blog

A colleague brought a gossip column from yesterday to my attention that suggests all kinds of completely legitimate issues. I was supportive of Fox's rage over an online review by a projectionist who watched Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer...

Wolverine Lives by The Hot Blog

The Wolverine leak story is pretty much over. Fox has pretty much done all of the internet containment there is to be done and the geeks who are reviewing are, I guess, mixed negative overall. But this is no Hulk or Batman & Robin, where the majority...

When The Web Discussion Works by The Hot Blog
