Ten business lessons from Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica – Farewell
Battlestar Galactica
Ok, this isn’t a movie per se…. but the finale was an hour and 35 minutes long (without commercials) and quite honestly it was better than a great deal of the features in the theaters today.
For 5 years I have tuned in to this amazing show with excitement and wonder at how Ronald Moore and David Eick had managed to turn a campy, pop-sci-fi “classic” from my childhood into one of the most amazingly rich and relevant pieces of modern storytelling.
If you haven’t followed Battlestar Galactica since its mini-series 5 years ago you’d be very well served to go out and BUY or rent the mini-series and Season 1 RIGHT NOW. The scale of this monumental piece of storytelling is stunning. Especially when you realize it was done for TV, on a TV show’s budget. (And not on the traditional networks mind you… it was done on Sci-Fi! Sci-Fi! Home of crapfest, campy TV movies and low-budget garbage series like “Ghost Hunters.”) Continue reading

Deficit Projected To Swell Beyond Earlier Estimates
CBO Expects Trillions More in Borrowing
By Lori Montgomery
Washington Post Staff Writer

President Obamas ambitious plans to cut middle-class taxes, overhaul health care and expand access to college would require massive borrowing over the next decade, leaving the nation mired far deeper in debt than the White House previously estimated, congressional budget analysts said yesterday.

UP goes to Cannes
So PIXAR’s UP is opening the Cannes film festival. See the trailer here.
PIXAR must be pretty confident in their new film. And that is something to cheer about!
PIXAR has the best track record in Hollywood for putting out quality films that are super enjoyable and super successful.
I’m looking forward to seeing UP in the theater!
UP comes to theaters May 29.

Digital vs. Paper Media – An analysis of the NYT
The linked article has an interesting breakdown of the cost of delivering the NYT to its subscribers via traditional newsprint, or by giving every subscriber a free Amazon Kindle.
Interesting. And a good point as to why traditional print media is a dying industry.

Sometimes Dreams Won’t Come
I thought I could write about “What Dreams May Come” for this past weekend’s film review. I’m sorry to say, that just isn’t going to happen.
Please! Don’t think for one second it’s because I don’t love this film (I do!) or because I’ve grown lazy about the reviews (I have not.) or anything like that.
No, I just can’t bring myself to sit down and watch what was my father’s favorite film about the afterlife yet. His death is a year and a half past, but I’m still not quite there for some things. This, apparently, is one of them. I stared at the DVD over and over again for the past so many days and just couldn’t get up the courage to watch this film. Not yet.
I probably won’t be able to watch “Big Fish” for a while either. We’ll see.
In the meantime, if you’ve already watched “What Dreams May Come” please feel free to share your own review of the film in the comments section! I’d love to hear what some of you thought of this very unique and stunningly beautiful movie.

Here’s a commercial Bryan and I shot for San Diego Flight Training International. We got to fly up in a pair of Cessna’s and shoot each other’s planes flying all over the San Diego skies at Sunset. How cool is that?
Sorry for the delay…
I’m a day or two behind getting to my movie review this weekend.
I promise I’ll have it up as soon as I can get to it! PROMISE!
It’s kind of a busy time for me right now. Serious. Cut me some slack!

Thoughts on the Afterlife…
What Dreams May Come
This week’s movie will be:
This Robin Williams film boasts some of the most innovative use of special visual effects ever put on film. It’s a tear jerker, and often very depressing… but stick with it folks! It ends well.
This was also one of my Dad’s absolute favorite films of all time and this will be the first time I’ve seen it since he passed.
And seeing how Mr. Williams is heading in for heart surgery soon, watching this film about life and death seems somewhat… timely.
Look for the review to drop by the end of this weekend!
