A Good Partial Equation

As I wait to get back into David Thomson's The Whole Equation, a probing and delicious but very prosy and quite eccentrically focused dissection of Hollywood, I offer you Anne Thompson's short Hollywood Reporter piece about DreamWorks' demise for its sharp, succinct illumination of the business side of contemporary movies. It's a short article, not meant to change the world, but I don't write much about the apparatus behind the movies I review, so I like to point it out when something good and helpfully expository comes along.
