Interestingly, Disney??s recent acquisition of Miramax, the edgier, New York-based production company known for flicks like Kill Bill and Chicago, was downplayed as belonging to ABC, “that part of the company,” while their own brand, Walt Disney films, was glorified as the sanctuary of family entertainment.

If Disney is willing to allow Miramax to make the movies it wants to make, Disney ought to be willing to follow through with its own contract to distribute those films...
