It is the answer.

I hope the Weinstein Company sinks. All of their recent releases were overbudgeted films that never should have been greenlit.

Many good movies are still sitting in Miramax's vaults (like TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER, DOBERMANN, Shaw Brothers's movies, etc....)

I hope that Disney will give them at least a straight-to-DVD release.

Hmmmmm, well I didn't realize so many movies weren't getting release dates out of Miramax. i like the split. For a long time i've felt disney has exerted a certain influence over Miramax, and that those big budget high-gloss films are in part a side effect of it. Disney wants to retain a certain level of homogeny even in its subsidiaries. About content, high Hollywood, etc. This could be a big change in indie film distribution. Along which, I'm glad this is the first news I've heard of film companies moving away from conglomerization rather towards it. A movie I welcome.

I don't think ever distributor has to be teenie, and that's not only ineffective but also limits access to films. I do however think the pyramid has way to small a peak and wide a base right now.
