"Audiences are clearly seeking escape from their lives."
And Land of the Lost and Bruno clearly grounded in reality? At least he fessed up to it being shit in one of the last quotes.

I think delaying the release of Green Zone isn't a bad idea (Wolfman too). They could use the extra marketing time. The Hurt Locker is getting all the acclaim now, and we've all seen that to audiences even one Iraq war movie is more than enough. (Although I'm certain most audiences didn't have much selection to the few cinemas showing some of the previous limited release Iraq war movies).

These guys can go over to Summit to work in their marketing department. There's no way they'd be worse then the current geniuses over there. Can't wait till Summit fucks up The Hurt Locker's Oscar chances.

Universal made Wanted, though.

That would be kind of like Warner Bros. ripping of The Dark Kni--oh wait, they are actually doing that.
