- In spite of writers forcing primetime repeats as most of the country settles into winter (I recommend knitting as an alternative), the public seems to be siding against “The Corporations.” How American.
- Marketing guru behind Sweeney Todd–Tim Burton’s musical about a serial killing barber–struggles with “many niche audiences that need to be dealt with.” Solution: Promote it as Saw meets Dreamgirls.
- Jesse Eisenberg (Squid and the Whale) and Justin Bartha (Failure to Launch) will add to the “burgeoning ‘Jewsploitation’ genre” with a *comedy* about Hassidic drug mules. How does “sploitation” get added to an ethnicity? Case in point: Maria Full of Grace is sad, but if it had a Hassidic Jew cast? Oy vey! I just spit out my Schmaltz!
