As a writer, I love this philosophy: "Magic is the key... Our product has no function other than to entertain. Its only limits are set by our imaginations."

The money quote "Make no mistake about it, ours is a cyclical business and we are once again repeating the cycle."

Wow. Just wow. All the advice offered about film-making online rolled into one memo. And to read it straight from the pen of a studio executive is amazing. I should probably read it once a month.

Love the "Singles & Doubles" Philosophy. It seems studios now are ONLY looking for Home Runs like Avatar, Harry Potter and The Dark Knight. They are completely shocked when a "Single" film like Juno or "Double" film like Bridesmaids takes off.

It should be noted that Pretty Woman began as a serious drama about a prostitute.

"a tidal wave is now hitting Hollywood… a tidal wave of runaway costs and mindless competition." The more things change, the more they stay the same...
