The Mediabistro Weekly Drop: The Lawyers and Layoffs Edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back on September 18, the Chief Legal and Global Affairs Officer at the Walt Disney Company, Horacio Gutierrez, shot off an email from his corner office on the top floor of the Team Disney building to, well, his Disney team.Written in the word salad of buzzwords, corporate jargon, and non-committal statements that you’d expect from someone overseeing the most litigious company in the industry, Gutierrez’s memo speaks about a “transformation proces

There’s a burger stand on Melrose we used to go to once in a while when I was in college - it was pretty reasonably priced, at least by LA standards, called Astro Burger.

It’s a cycle that’s as ubiquitous over the past few decades in this industry as sweeping corporate layoffs at The Walt Disney Company®, mid-major studios navigating ownership changes, or existential dread about the future every time a new technological paradigm emerges (every home entertainment executive was too busy ignoring the rise of the internet, preoccupying themselves with the “category killers” of Laser Discs, DiVX and HDDVD, respectfully).We’ve known since the days of BetaMax (a far sup
