My favorite quote of the day:
Chris Columbus in the Leaky Cauldron interview yesterday:
...Peter Travers in Rolling Stone said, 'I can't criticize this movie, because it's so corporate.' And I'm thinking, you have people, Oscar-winning production designers, cameramen, myself, just busting their chops to get this film done, and you're saying it's a corporate machine. It's just not the case...


I think this is close to the same thing I think when people say that FA is too clean, too corporate, when we've got all these talented and artistic people busting their chops to make a site that's fun and easy to use. Of course, the film has the added issue of being a product of AOL-TW, which is one of the larger and more hated companies in the world... which of course FA doesn't have as an issue, but it's more the feeling. I don't know, I feel like that quote sometimes.

FA isn't corporate, doll

Heidi, I know you get this criticism sometimes, but FA isn't corporate. And I criticize people all the time for going corporate (including Rolling Stone with their covers of bad, half-clothed actresses). And while I do think that the Harry Potter movies are pretty corporate (ahem, Chris Columbus), I would never, ever characterize FA as corporate.

I have a new mantra for you: Must remember that formality and being corporate are two totally different things. Don't have to sell out to avoid being sued.
