I love listening to these idiots in the industry talking about selling TV shows on cell phones ... do they really think people want to watch Lost on a screen the size of a postage stamp? Yet how much do they invest on business propositions like this? Crazy ...

Far from being too negative, instead he is a warrior who merely wants to preserve the high sense of quality that Uncle Walt fought so hard to preserve. If that's a fault, then consider your cauldron girls equally falty because we'd rather support someone like Mr. Lutz than all the silly Pressler, Eisner apologists out there who can't tell the difference between good quality and mediocre.

Then, you can actually ADD brand NEW attractions instead of sticking a trio of Johnny Depp AAs into a seriously neglected old E-Ticket and marketing it as a new experience.
