I applaud the effort on their parts, but none of them makes the kind of
franchisey blockbusters Zas needs to pull WBD out of its financial abyss. They
can't do anything for him in terms of directing something he'd want, nor in
influencing other directors to boycott the company. It's a noble, if futile,
gesture.

Dave Sikula, to moi, June 21st:
Not just the GM, but also Charlie Tabish, the chief programmer, Anne Wilson,
the vice president of studio production, Dexter Fedor, who was in charge of
marketing and creative design (and who was responsible for the unfortunate
graphic redesigns of a couple of years ago). and Genevieve McGillicuddy, who
basically created the TCM Film Festival.
They're all pretty irreplaceable and their loss does not bode well for the
network's future. I'd expect that the Festival is dead, given that Charlie and
Gen programmed it, and that (if the channel survives) we'll soon see
advertising.
Meanwhile, Zaslov has made about $400 million in salary.
It was not a good day to be a TCM fan.
