I watched Barbara Walter’s interview with Shrek in total amazement. Not because of the content, but because of the context. Shrek was made by Jeffrey Katzenberg who left (was forced out of ?) Disney — and who mocked Eisner in the movie unceasingly. So there was Barbara Walters shilling for Shrek 2 on ABC, which is owned by Disney. Eisner is notoriously thin skinned and vindictive, yet there was Shrek 2 being promoted on his network.

The tea leaves say: Eisner has lost his grip.

I can’t believe I beat Robert Musil to it.
