Carl Icahn Now Wants ALL Of Lionsgate
Did not know Topps still existed.
What a step down for Ryan O’Hara! To go from a fake TV network (TV Guide) to taking over Topps, a dinosaur company THAT HAS NO RELEVANCE ANYMORE. But the worst is he will answer to MICHAEL “I’M RICH AND TALENTLESS” EISNER, whose latest “big project” is doing a feature film based on BAZOOKA JOE! WTF?! He’s seriously wants to do the BAZOOKA JOE MOVIE! Of course, you’re talking about a guy who’s the genius behind the unwatchable webisode series about Topps baseball starring the ANNOYING SKLAR BROTHERS. As if that’s not embarrassing enough, Eisner also produces that horribly unfunny Glen Martin Dentist show — which averages about 9 viewers! GOOD LUCK, RYAN O’HARA! YOU’VE JUST STEPPED ABOARD THE TITANIC OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.
Ha. MDE’s creative peak was 20 years ago. I saw in an interview where he was asked whether the Topps purchase was a “nostalgia buy” and he answered absolutely no. Thing is, it was a nostalgia buy. Eisner’s clueless and has been for the last ten years.
What is almost funny is how few comments there are on something related to Michael Eisner. How quickly the ones we fear and revere go away.
Thank you.
