Paramount submits higher offer for Warner Bros.

2. So, for those of you might be interested...

There is a book written by the VP of Desilu and the Associate Producer of the show 'Star Trek' called 'Inside Star Trek'.

In it, the VP, Herb Solow, talks about the day that Gulf Western, a corporate entity, bought Paramount and started managing the studio. Suffice to say, it was a clusterfuck because the corporate interests had no idea about the movie or TV industry and their corporate methods were at complete odds to the methodology of making good content. It finally made Solow quit Paramount because he could see the writing on the wall.

After reading about this, as well as a few other accounts of Paramount and their mentality, I am hoping that Netflix gets the whole enchilada.

Corporate mentality ruined Hollywood. It ruined the arts and it ruined the lives of many artists who were just that... artists... not corporate stooges who are far better at being greedy than creating art. The fact that one cannot even attempt to be an artist without also being a crack businessperson is just horrific.

(I cannot find a decent site to reference the book without trying to sell it to you. So, here is the one from the Star Trek site, Memory Alpha.)

Bottom line: I don't trust Paramount. Which kind of hurts me to say.
