...cottage outfit like MTV Films be a relevant business model for a major studio? In some ways, it already is. MTV Films has been hot of late, co-releasing with Fox Searchlight Pictures cult fave Napoleon Dynamite (made for a minuscule $400,000 and earning 100 times that at the domestic box office) and backing a mainstream hit in Coach Carter ($63 million gross).

He proposed none of the massive restructurings of society familiar to us in our own times: revolution, socialism, democracy, capitalism or regime change.
