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.

Apologies for having to add the Word Verification function, but the spam has become insufferable lately. Maybe I have Finally Arrived? Suddenly, I am on the radar of all the classiest Russian Viagra magnates and Indian flower shops. But sorry to interrupt. What were you about to say?

(For the reason I've just described, I moderate all comments made more than two weeks after a post, so don't be mystified if you hit "Publish" and it doesn't appear.)
