  The Big Picture - The Fight for...

  The stunning metamorphosis of twenty-first-century Hollywood and what lies ahead for the art and commerce of film 
  In the past decade, Hollywood has endured a cataclysm on a par with the end of silent film and the demise of the studio system. Stars and directors have seen their power dwindle, while writers and producers lift their best techniques from TV, comic books, and the toy biz. The future of Hollywood is being written by powerful corporate brands like Marvel, Amazon, Netflix, and Lego, as well as censors in China. 
  Ben Fritz chronicles this dramatic shakeup with unmatched skill, bringing equal fluency to both the financial and entertainment aspects of Hollywood. He dives deeply into the fruits of the Sony hack to show how the previous model, long a creative and commercial success, lost its way. And he looks ahead through interviews with dozens of key players at Disney, Marvel, Netflix, Amazon, Imax, and others to discover how they have reinvented the business. He shows us, for instance, how Marvel replaced stars with "universes," and how Disney remade itself in Apple's image and reaped enormous profits. 
  But despite the destruction of the studios' traditional playbook, Fritz argues that these seismic shifts signal the dawn of a new heyday for film. The Big Picture shows the first glimmers of this new golden age through the eyes of the creative mavericks who are defining what our movies will look like in the new era.

  Iolanthe is a fairy banished from fairyland for the crime of marrying a mortal. Her half-fairy, half-human son Strephon is a fairy down to the waist, but his legs are human. He loves Phyllis, but she is courted by the whole House of Lords and the Lord High Chancellor himself! Strephon decides the only way to win his love is to go into Parliament, with the help of his mother and all his fairy aunts. None of them understand politics, but that doesn't matter. He will soon make some changes, starting with throwing the Peerage open to competitive examination! But how will Phyllis react when she catches Strephon with an impossibly young and very beautiful lady who he claims is his fairy mother? This is a spoken "poetic" version of the libretto written by W. S. Gilbert, where a full cast of voices brings the sparkling wit of Gilbert to the fore, and will enhance understanding and appreciation of this comic light opera.

  George Schultze truly loves what he does as a major player in the distressed investing world.  As the portfolio manager for Schultze Asset Management, he and his team have over $250 million in funds under management.  They have a strong background in perfecting strategy by analzying the true value of distressed companies, and have been honing a successful approach to making money on financially troubled companies for years.  Recently, George was thrust into the spotlight as one of nine companies criticized by President Obama as "speculators, holding out" on the Chrysler bailout terms, accused of ultimately causing Chrysler to file chapter 11.  But the government's involvement in the Chrysler bailout sparked a debate about bankruptcy investing; were existing regulations adhered to or hopscotched because of political preferences?  Were certain second-tier unsecured lenders to benefit from the government's involvement before secured private lenders?  What do the terms of bailouts do to the rates at which security investors decide to lend money, and what type of companies they invest in?  Here, George discusses distressed security investing theory & strategy while presenting current case studies in order to offer readers a look at how the playing field may have changed in recent years.
