TOH!

Do you read Thompson on Hollywood? It is well done and a real insider’s POV. We are proud to be associated with Anne Thompson via our partnership with indieWIRE. Check out these stories.
 
I saw Law Abiding Citizen this weekend too. I didn’t know who to root for?      
 
Bad is good and good is bad. Revenge is sweet or not? I guess Gerard Butler is a pretty cool guy but this film made me incredulous. Let us tunnel into the jail in many places. That is plausible, isn’t it?
 
Big stars, big budgets, lots of things get blown up but not much makes sense. Writing is weak but the acting is pretty strong. I give the film two out of five stars.

Sometimes the First Best Answer isn’t the Right Best Answer

Keep trying; keep perfecting. Sometimes the first plan isn’t the best plan. This is an article with a premise that I really believe in.

Viagra was discovered by trying to create a hair growth product. I kid you not. :-)

Be open to possibilities. Know what you don’t know.

I am on the board of a super-fast growth company called Groupon.com. It is booming. It started out life being a consumer advocacy service. It didn’t work. It morphed into a hyper local best prices and group shopping service. It is a home run company now.

The original business plan for SnagFilms looked NOTHING like our business is today.

Be open minded. Listen to the markets and consumers. The best answer may not be the first right answer!
