In no way, shape or form can this be good. Unless the tail starts wagging the dog.
P.S. Fuck.

I'm reporting LMA to Cyber Patrol for gratuitous fucks

On the other hand...given the stature Steve J will have in the merged corporation, I can imagine an alternative outcome, in which the Pixar people are treated as crown princes and drive everyone else in the organization crazy...

Jobs becomes the largest Disney stockholder and gets a seat on the board just as his other company launches a video iPod and a new multimedia effort.
It's good to be Steve.

I'm not thinking of Steve, who hasn't missed a meal in weeks, but rather the effect on pop culture and the future of creativity in film/TV, if any.
Not that I'm skeptical about Disney's ability to promote actual creativity, especially if their lawyers are reading this. They do indeed, as they saying goes, produce "the funniest material their attorneys will approve." How could that possibly be bad?
BTW: fuck.

Disney did manage to produce Lilo & Stitch and The Emperor's New Groove, so this doesn't automatically spell disaster.
But like you I expect the worst.

Oh, sure. Good stuff falls through the cracks. They can't kill every Actual Idea in the world.
I so hope we're wrong, but . . .

I'm hoping that by tomorrow I will have graduated from monosyllabic Anglo-Saxon syllables to full sentences. But I can't guarantee it.

Lord. The Evil Mouse Strikes Again.
Inappropriately smiling. As usual.
