    How does Jeff Zucker keep keeping his job? I don't get it. Does he have, like, secret photos of God or something? #peterchernin

    I think Matty has at least one more Bourne in him if they can come up with a decent post-Ultimatum script. Agree that Pine is tasty boy, but not bournable or even clancyesque. Anyway, who the hell wants to see Tom Clancy's tired old shit (again)--that well is drier than the vodka martini in my non-typing hand. Why not explore le Carre's or Michael Connelly's extensive oeuvre a bit more?

    Chris Pine is tasty, but I can't see him as Ryan. Looks too boyish. Now Jon Hamm....

    How much you wanna bet they want Pine to be the next Bourne? So effectively Affleck fails twice.

    Except that Cougar Town is a big hit for ABC (and better than it had any right to be) so it makes sense they think they can do it again.

    Why hasn't Comcast denied that it raped and murdered a girl in 1990?

    My worry would be Hulu and online TV in general.

    I'm sure Comcast would prefer people to use their subscription service (cable) and Murdoch has been making noise about charging fees. So if Comcast were to get a chunk of Hulu and become the source for a large segment of licensed online video content, it'd only be a matter of time until we're all paying a nickel, whenever we want to watch tee-vee.

    A purchase would mean Comcast is doubling-down on it's bleak future - tv will be via the internet, internet will be wireless. revenues won't support big productions, etc.

    @daveyjonesisdead: Comcast delivers the internet. If video goes away, they just charge more for broadband.

    Internet will be wireless, but only as an add on to wireline. Capacity and throughput of wireless are simply not enough, even in 4G, to have 100 million households watching video. Wireless supplement, but not replace, wireline.

    Ask ATT how the data usage from iPhones is treating their wireless network.

    Comcast, which owns cable and internet pipes but not the stuff that goes through them, has always wanted to own a content company, and made a failed pass at Disney five years ago.

    Not true. Comcast also owns Comcast Networks which includes E!, Versus, Golf Channel, Style and G4
