He is responsible for lying to the public about the economic motives for the closures -- lies that are disproven by the Fund's own accounting figures and tax returns.<BR/><BR/>Katzenberg, Tillman and his cronies are chopping up seventy-five years of Hollywood history for no reason except greed, while over a hundred retirees are out on the street.

He believes in this product as much as any of us. Hollywood execs at other companies I worked at weren't like that.<BR/><BR/>I'll be the first to admit that the 3D SuperBowl ad was a gimmick and fell like a thud but the LA times article cherry picks the worst criticism out there for it. Jeffrey wanted to generate noise and according to the movietickets.com poll it was the 3rd most memorable movie ad during the superbowl. Pixar's Up was 8th.<BR/><BR/>The MPTF issue is upsetting and sad but Nikki Finke posted the Camden Report and even an independant third party health services analyst concluded that there could be nothing done to offset the rising costs of healthcare that were bankrupting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-1957794122138417602009-02-11T00:23:00.000-08:002009-02-11T00:23:00.000-08:00Yeah, nice overview about Jeffrey defense...Great ...Yeah, nice overview about Jeffrey defense...<BR/>Great post<BR/><BR/>RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-56780839447752902312009-02-11T00:21:00.000-08:002009-02-11T00:21:00.000-08:00Steve:Despite the recent upheavals at the LA Times...Steve:<BR/>Despite the recent upheavals at the LA Times, Patrick Goldstein is a veteran critic and show biz reporter and columnist. That said, I agree with your statements about Jeffrey. He is so innately a showman cut from old school mogul cloth, he speaks principally in hyperbole. Exactly as you said, Jeffrey in my experience always found things either the best, or the absolute worst. Gray was a color he didn’t traffic in. I do think Goldstein completely misreads Jeffrey when he thinks Dreamworks live action signing up with Disney would be repugnant to him. As far as I know JK’s quarrel was with Michael E. not Disney and I think he likes both Bob Iger and Dick Cook and I’m pretty sure he finds financial solvency appealing.<BR/>John MuskerJohn Muskerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042887060875849291noreply@blogger.com
