...rope attached to the pump: "The suicide." In a tribute to his ancestors, Geisel did one ad in semi-German: "Quick Heinrich, Das Flit" (Should it be "Raus"?) The campaign expanded to book form, with a collection of the published ads, and a promotional movie, produced by Warner Bros. It showed a whale being menacing by a mosquito; Orca snarls, "Quick Jonah! The Flit!" and a man in a polka-dot bathing suit emerges from the whale's mouth to repel the attacker...
...special brand of comedy—Stiller and Wilson as much as Starsky and Hutch, both starkly contrasting and strongly complimentary in their attitudes on work and life. But the movie is no spoof. In an interview with the stars in a college conference call organized by Warner Bros., it became clear that these two take their work pretty seriously (perhaps not to the extreme of Stiller’s type-a Starsky).

...were also annoyed by the length of the talks, during which weeks would go by with no response from Disney. A deal was "eminently doable, had it gone quickly," insists a Pixar insider.

In December the U.S. district court overturned the ban. Last week...
...Warner Bros. has traced thousands of online Samurai copies and 25 bootlegs from 12 countries to one screener and two camcorder copies. That is not a lot of leaks. But it takes only one. As downloading speeds increase and camcorder technology continues to improve, studios will be forced to put down the night-vision goggles and invent a new business model for a new world. "Nobody believes you're going to dissuade people from downloading," says Garland of BigChampagne. "It's all about co-opting that content and building businesses around...
