A long-anticipated bomb went off in Hollywood during the July 4 weekend emptiness. On Monday, the New Paramount (because everyone has forgotten New Coke?) team came out to meet the press. And said… almost nothing. There were some basic arguments for improving things. But the core was “we’re going to do what a studio does better.” We’ve never heard that before.

And in some cases, no one really asked. Plus, the rest of the news that was almost fit to print.

ALL HANDS ON DECK!!!!!
