The LAT reports that Miramax could lay off as much as 20% of its workforce after gobbling up its entire annual production budget like Harvey Weinstein at a buffet full of donuts stuffed with 20-dollar bills. We just hope that our friends at the 'Max got those resumes together in time. With a hundred or so fewer paychecks on the rolls, will the Weinstein brothers be able to buy back their company from Disney on the cheap? Maybe they can knock a little more off the buy-back price if Harvey and Bob start brown-bagging their lunches. [Ed. note—Get it? Harvey and Bob are fat guys!]
