Tom Rothman on Fox’s Movie Channel

Let me start by saying two things: First, is it not enough to receive millions for running a successful movie studio, do you have to take the job away of a host — someone like yours truly, or some other film reporter/arts journalists/ nerd. And second: this may be all the more galling since I know and life Tom, having gone to law school with him.

Now that I’ve spent my bile — let me say that watching Tom Rothman alternates between finding him stiff and sort of fake in his delivery and being interested in what he has to say. Because let’s face it, he knows a things or two about movies, making them, and particularly to the extent he talks candidly about it, how certain movies got made from the studio point of view (which he does, here and there).
