Sunday night is always catch-up night and this week was improved as Collateral was on Film4.
It's interesting because the newspaper industry does have some prior material to work with: the success, or lack thereof, the music industry has driven through similar stances. They saw this sort of thing coming. Their choice was to defend vigorously (i.e. attack) and see off these new models on the basis of theft - the issue at hand - but sort of missed that there would be a need to respond to the overall concept at some point Real Soon Now.
Just as I was snorting at the futility of this, I heard Vincent saying:
Okay, look, here's the deal. Man, you were gonna drive me around tonight, never be the wiser, but El Gordo got in front of a window, did his high dive, we're into Plan B. Still breathing? Now we gotta make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, Darwin, sh*t happens, I Ching, whatever man, we gotta roll with it.
Amen.
