...their indie upbringing taught them to be tight with a dollar and careful about cash flow. A key strategy calls for building a formidable library that can spin off immediate revenues while providing fodder for various platforms. Former MGM owner Kirk Kerkorian--who flipped his studio three times--advised the Weinsteins to scoop up all the solid content they could get their hands on. The fickle nature of the movie business makes each film a gamble. Hence a large library reduces overall risk...
...will ever accuse Carrie Fisher of holding back. Throughout her 30-year career, Fisher - the daughter of 1950s sweetheart Debbie Reynolds and crooner Eddie Fisher - has used her Hollywood childhood, drug addiction, mental illness and romantic failures as fodder for screenplays (Postcards from the Edge) and books (Surrender the Pink) Now the actress, 50, is on stage each night performing in her first one-woman show, Wishful Drinking, at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

Last month e-mail invitations went out to liberal bloggers to join a YouTube group, urging "Democrats [to] assemble here and share videos." But the videos posted were not exactly typical liberal fodder: one applauded the takeover of the Southwest by Mexico while another mocked the Marines for allowing "dwarves and women" to join. The group was soon called out as fake by liberal bloggers--and is now defunct. It's an indication of how short-lived online pranks can be. But the medium...
