    So she sings Country? Well, I wouldn't know. The first time I heard that "You belong with Me" song, I mistook it for a Clearasil commercial. #taylorswift

    Within ten years, Taylor Swift will probably be judging a reality show and married to a rodeo "star". #taylorswift

    In reply to Taylor Swift's Conquest of All Show Business Nearly Complete
    Okay, Taylor, you've successfully completed Step One.

    Step Two involves dropping hints that you'd be okay with tasteful nudity "for the right part."

    In Step Three you've got to be seen leaving Gerard Butler's house in the early dawn hours.

    Step Four entails a grainy video of some sort, with your face clearly visible for a moment.

    After that, the rest of the Steps kind of sort themselves out.

    Good luck! #taylorswift

    In reply to Robert Iger Calls on Hollywood to Stop the Madness
    In grad school - back at the turn of the millenium - I did a project on the economics of the film industry, and everyone back then was also saying "the industry is dying, we're spending too much money." At the time, the studios compensated for this by squeezing painful concessions out of below-the-line unions and shooting overseas or in tax-friendly states. Not a penny was shaved from star /executive salaries or perks, or from the cost of enormous promotional campaigns. Consequently, I predict this time around, too, all this handwringing will just mean key grips get less for their 401ks, while Iger's own private jet will still be fueled by liquid platinum and babies' tears. #robertiger

    The entertainment industry is about putting franchise content in different platforms (i.e. I have to shit out the Burger King Croissanwich I ate this morning into a toilet). #robertiger

    Kids that grew up in Saskatchewan in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, had only 3 channels, give or take. The programming was tightly controlled by church ladies at the CBC, and the result was better people. Yes, Canada had better people. Everything went to hell after cable and satellite marched in, but we can learn from the halcyon days of prairie television. Put us on a strict diet of old BBC, and local alcoholic clowns, and we'll be good to go again. #robertiger

    I'm waiting for the intervention that begins. "We're only telling this because we love you, but you've got to quit SUCKING. Toys and remakes of sucked-the-first-time movies and TV shows are not viable film ideas." #robertiger

    The movie industry is now all about story-telling. That is, telling stories of responsibility to gullible financial publications. #robertiger

    @obloquy: It's horribly greedy, that first paragraph. It's stolen all of the third's commas, and in an apparent show of solidarity letters in the fourth are capitalizing themselves willy nilly!
