I usually stay away in order not to be jealous of other people’s movie deals (most of which are inflated anyway). But Conscientious Objector has found a literal “comedy of errors” in the Hollywood Reporter that might make Dan Rather blush. [Couldn't you think of a more original analogy?-ed. I have to get back to my book.]

1. Oyster:That’s pretty funny. How do you put up with it, Roger?
Apr 8, 2005 - 5:38 pm 2. Knucklehead:I’m not in the entertainment business but the idiocy in many trade rags is similar. I don’t bother renewing even free subscriptions anymore. Once upon a time they were the only source for industry information, news, and analysis. It took me forever to realize that I could not count on any better reporting or analysis of those portions of the subject industry than I saw in the portions about which I actually knew stuff. It finally sunk through my thick skull that if they couldn’t get it right, or something better than uselessly shallow, in those areas I had some level of expertise, then there was no good reason to believe reading the stuff I didn’t know anything about, but wanted to learn, since it was surely equally shallow and/or incorrect.
Thank goodness for blogs! You gonna crank up and trade blograg, Roger?
