  • 5 Reasons Tumblr + Y...

    Whenever a spunky,  growing startup gets sold to an established player - the cry goes out.  Users won't like it.  The culture will be ruined.  The startup will be subsumed by its parent.  Sometimes it's true,  but in the case of the Yahoo purchase of Tumblr,  I think there's an argument to be made that everyone wins.  Tumblr users,  Yahoo users,  and the investors and staffs of both teams.  Here's five reasons why critics are worried, and why they are wrong. 1. Yahoo will ruin Tumblr with Ads. Tumblr is a six year old company with 112 million in investor funds.  There has been pressure,  one presumes from the Board, to get the site to profitability and ads went from zero to 13M in 2012,  and were projected to reach 100M by 2013.  Simply put,  without a deep pocketed parent,  Tumblr was going to have to embrace ads,  even as founder and CEO David Karp has said as recently as 2010 that ads "turn his stomach." So,  will Yahoo junk up the Tumblr experience with a ton of ads?  No way.  Yahoo needs Tumblr to remain pure,  and to keep the core users happy. Yahoo has plenty of related ad supported pages to introduce to the Tumblr community,  and tons of new video offerings that will come with pre-roll avails.  What Yahoo needs from Tumblr is its powerfully engaged,  and curation capable use base.  So the Yahoo deal protects the Tumblr users from an onslaught of ads that otherwise were on the horizon. This is good for both.

  • The 2012/13 Barclays...

     Thoughts After 38 rounds of play another Barclays Premier League season is in the books. Manchester United won their 20th top flight and their 13th Premier League championship. In the sober light of day this one will go down as testament to the drive of retiring manager Sir Alex Ferguson and his burning desire to knock  Manchester City off their expensive but temporary BPL perch. Manchester City failed to follow up on their breakthrough season of 2012. Goal scorers did not score, midfielders failed to create nearly enough and City played like a team bereft of any passion beyond that of cashing large pay cheques. Chelsea showed incredible determination to battle through a congested fixture list. Suffice the say that interim manager Rafa Benitez showed a lot more class than the idiots who decided to mark up the bed linens and put them on display. Arsenal came from well off the pace and timed their run into the top four to perfection. Another season and another just made it. Jovetic.......where are you? They can look at a point total of 72 points and claim that they did not get the rub of the green. But Spurs faltered once again and tossed away a substantial late season lead. This one will sting even harder than before. No Champions League money, an expensive stadium to develop and a very cashable asset in Gareth Bale....can you join the dots quicker than Daniel Levy? Everton finished above Liverpool for a second straight season but come August they will be under new management. Will it bring a style makeover? Liverpool finished with a plus 28 goal difference but .......... West Brom had in Romelu Lukaku the most productive and dangerous substitute in the league. Swansea finished two places above last season but with one point fewer; more importantly they won the League Cup West Ham was never in serious relegation trouble and can be well pleased with a comfortable mid-table finish. At one stage late in the season Norwich looked to be tumbling towards relegation; eight points above the drop zone, 11th in the league and 44 points come the season's end - what was the panic? Fulham........thank you for allowing us to watch Dimitar Berbatov on a regular basis. A solid start to the season by Stoke was built around a parsimonious defense. Then all of a sudden the players seemed to be spending too much time reading their press clippings. 2013 was nothing short of a disaster and the warning signals should be loud and clear at the Britannia. Southampton? Would that be the entertaining but flaky team that started the season looking to go back straight back down again? Or would that be the Southampton that passed, moved and played their way through Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City? There again, it could be the Southampton that clawed a way to four draws in the last six games to make sure of Premier League survival. When Paul Lambert packs in the manager gig he should join the "power of positive thinking" circuit. Game after game Lambert watched his young Aston Villa side opt to save time and to shoot themselves in two feet rather than just one. Late goals from calamitous defending would have tested the patience of a saint and beyond but game after game Villa came out and still played the ball to feet and never resorted to lumping it as so many pundits recommended. The reward could be a set of youngsters forged through a mammoth relegation fight. Now if they can only hold on to Christian Benteke. Last season Newcastle finished 5th but this campaign was much different. Injuries to key players, some regression to the mean and and a late 2012 run of 9 losses in 11 games saw Newcastle slip from mid table to a precarious position around the relegation zone. Newcastle survived but it would be interesting to know what termination provisions are in manager Alan Pardew's 8-year contract. When Martin O'Neill left  Sunderland had 31 points from 31 games and had not received a red card: Paulo di Canio came in and Sunderland picked up 8 points from 7 games and also three red cards in seven games; discuss. Relegation can be temporary but a FA Cup Final win is permanent. Thank you Wigan and Roberto Martinez for a commitment to playing progressive football that was pleasing on the eye. The defending part? Not so good. Reading.......you finished above spendthrift QPR by three points and did not mortgage the farm. There will be another day even though it may take a couple of seasons for Nigel Adkins to teach the players how to pass the ball to players in the same color jersey. QPR - more money than sense and will not be missed.

  • 5 Reasons Tumblr + Yahoo is Good For Users

    Whenever a spunky,  growing startup gets sold to an established player - the cry goes out.  Users won't like it.  The culture will be ruined.  The startup will be subsumed by its parent.  Sometimes it's true,  but in the case of the Yahoo purchase of Tumblr,  I think there's an argument to be made that everyone wins.  Tumblr users,  Yahoo users,  and the investors and staffs of both teams.  Here's five reasons why critics are worried, and why they are wrong. 1. Yahoo will ruin Tumblr with Ads. Tumblr is a six year old company with 112 million in investor funds.  There has been pressure,  one presumes from the Board, to get the site to profitability and ads went from zero to 13M in 2012,  and were projected to reach 100M by 2013.  Simply put,  without a deep pocketed parent,  Tumblr was going to have to embrace ads,  even as founder and CEO David Karp has said as recently as 2010 that ads "turn his stomach." So,  will Yahoo junk up the Tumblr experience with a ton of ads?  No way.  Yahoo needs Tumblr to remain pure,  and to keep the core users happy. Yahoo has plenty of related ad supported pages to introduce to the Tumblr community,  and tons of new video offerings that will come with pre-roll avails.  What Yahoo needs from Tumblr is its powerfully engaged,  and curation capable use base.  So the Yahoo deal protects the Tumblr users from an onslaught of ads that otherwise were on the horizon. This is good for both.

  • The 2012/13 Barclays Premier League In Thoughts and Numbers

     Thoughts After 38 rounds of play another Barclays Premier League season is in the books. Manchester United won their 20th top flight and their 13th Premier League championship. In the sober light of day this one will go down as testament to the drive of retiring manager Sir Alex Ferguson and his burning desire to knock  Manchester City off their expensive but temporary BPL perch. Manchester City failed to follow up on their breakthrough season of 2012. Goal scorers did not score, midfielders failed to create nearly enough and City played like a team bereft of any passion beyond that of cashing large pay cheques. Chelsea showed incredible determination to battle through a congested fixture list. Suffice the say that interim manager Rafa Benitez showed a lot more class than the idiots who decided to mark up the bed linens and put them on display. Arsenal came from well off the pace and timed their run into the top four to perfection. Another season and another just made it. Jovetic.......where are you? They can look at a point total of 72 points and claim that they did not get the rub of the green. But Spurs faltered once again and tossed away a substantial late season lead. This one will sting even harder than before. No Champions League money, an expensive stadium to develop and a very cashable asset in Gareth Bale....can you join the dots quicker than Daniel Levy? Everton finished above Liverpool for a second straight season but come August they will be under new management. Will it bring a style makeover? Liverpool finished with a plus 28 goal difference but .......... West Brom had in Romelu Lukaku the most productive and dangerous substitute in the league. Swansea finished two places above last season but with one point fewer; more importantly they won the League Cup West Ham was never in serious relegation trouble and can be well pleased with a comfortable mid-table finish. At one stage late in the season Norwich looked to be tumbling towards relegation; eight points above the drop zone, 11th in the league and 44 points come the season's end - what was the panic? Fulham........thank you for allowing us to watch Dimitar Berbatov on a regular basis. A solid start to the season by Stoke was built around a parsimonious defense. Then all of a sudden the players seemed to be spending too much time reading their press clippings. 2013 was nothing short of a disaster and the warning signals should be loud and clear at the Britannia. Southampton? Would that be the entertaining but flaky team that started the season looking to go back straight back down again? Or would that be the Southampton that passed, moved and played their way through Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City? There again, it could be the Southampton that clawed a way to four draws in the last six games to make sure of Premier League survival. When Paul Lambert packs in the manager gig he should join the "power of positive thinking" circuit. Game after game Lambert watched his young Aston Villa side opt to save time and to shoot themselves in two feet rather than just one. Late goals from calamitous defending would have tested the patience of a saint and beyond but game after game Villa came out and still played the ball to feet and never resorted to lumping it as so many pundits recommended. The reward could be a set of youngsters forged through a mammoth relegation fight. Now if they can only hold on to Christian Benteke. Last season Newcastle finished 5th but this campaign was much different. Injuries to key players, some regression to the mean and and a late 2012 run of 9 losses in 11 games saw Newcastle slip from mid table to a precarious position around the relegation zone. Newcastle survived but it would be interesting to know what termination provisions are in manager Alan Pardew's 8-year contract. When Martin O'Neill left  Sunderland had 31 points from 31 games and had not received a red card: Paulo di Canio came in and Sunderland picked up 8 points from 7 games and also three red cards in seven games; discuss. Relegation can be temporary but a FA Cup Final win is permanent. Thank you Wigan and Roberto Martinez for a commitment to playing progressive football that was pleasing on the eye. The defending part? Not so good. Reading.......you finished above spendthrift QPR by three points and did not mortgage the farm. There will be another day even though it may take a couple of seasons for Nigel Adkins to teach the players how to pass the ball to players in the same color jersey. QPR - more money than sense and will not be missed.

So, yes, for a brief period, the Star Trek franchise really was in the same kind of company as Batman and Jurassic Park.  The above quote is from my weekend box office report from four summers ago, when Star Trek debuted with a whopping $79.5 million in 3.25 days and seemingly restarted a grand old franchise.  Back then, everybody presumed that Paramount's kick-ass marketing team had pulled off a coup, rebooting the seemingly creaky Star Trek franchise in a big-budget action-adventure designed to appeal both to Trekkies and non-Trekkies alike.  The film had solid legs due to strong word-of-mouth, earning $257 million domestic and, even when adjusted for inflation, becoming the most successful Star Trek film ever released.  Yeah, the film under-performed overseas ($128 million foreign) and arguably cost too much ($150-$200 million, depending on who you ask), but Paramount was playing long-ball.  They had their Batman Begins, now it was a matter of waiting for the cash-in of their Dark Knight/Dead Man's Chest. It was pretty much accepted fact that the theoretical Star Trek 2  was going to be an absolute box office monster.  With a $84 million four-day gross that is just 6% higher than the original's $79.5 million 3.25 day gross, it was not to be. Star Trek used to be very much at or near the top of the short-term box office heap. And, if history is any indication, it'll return again when Star Trek II: Attack of the Klingons is released in summer 2012. I'm quoting from my old report to provide some context in terms of how a seemingly pretty large weekend debut can be judged as a genuine disappointment.  Star Trek Into Darkness was not the X2: X-Men United of the franchise, even though both films shamelessly steal from the same Star Trek sequel. Putting aside Paramount's inexplicable decision to open the film on Thursday, and to do so at the very last minute with minimal notice of this fact, the 4.25 day debut for Star Trek Into Darkness is "just" $84 million, with a "mere" $70.5 million Fri-Sun debut (a rather large $13.5 million of that was in IMAX alone, accounting for 16% of the weekend).  The first Star Trek earned $79.5 million in its first 3.25 days, a number that would be about $84 million adjusted for inflation and around $95 million when accounting for this film's 3D bump.  There is no way around it, Star Trek Into Darkness pulled in fewer ticket buyers than the 2009 Star Trek. For the record, I do not want to scream "FLOP" over a $82 million four-day gross and potentially lucrative overseas final results, but this is indeed a case where a rather large opening can be considered a 'disappointment' in relation to realistic expectations and/or budgetary demands. Four years ago, we all thought that Star Trek 2 was a lock for one of the bigger opening weekends on record.  Today, we're wondering if it will even top $200 million domestic.  Like past 'better than I expected' first films (Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery, X-Men, The Bourne Identity, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Batman Begins, and Casino Royale), the inevitable sequel could nearly double this film's opening weekend take. Right here, right now, I'm calling $100 million+ for the opening weekend of the second Star Trek 2.0 picture. Now there is precedent for sequels with surprisingly small debuts doing 'okay' in the long run.  Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, which this film feels similar to in terms of marketing and reception ("More of the same, but harder, faster, and with a quirky British character actor as a one-man killing machine!"), opened with just $40 million in December 2011, compared to the $62 million Christmas 2009 debut of the first Sherlock Holmes.  But while the sequel's $186 million domestic gross was less than the first film's $209 million, overseas picked up the slack and it beat the first film's global gross $545 million to $525 million. Shrek: The Final Chapter opened with just $71 million over this weekend in 2010, a stunning drop from Shrek the Third's $122 million debut over this same weekend in 2007.  But the film was surprisingly leggy, admittedly back when 3D was still a novelty and 3D films were able to keep prime auditoriums for longer, and made its way to $232 million domestic and a whopping $752 million worldwide. But mere survival was not Paramount's goal with this second go-around.  Star Trek was supposed to be their crown jewel and they spent a lot of money over the last several years to 'make it so'. Paramount has few franchises, and certainly no others on this level outside of Transformers, so breaking even is not the goal here. They played long-ball but may have fumbled right at the ten-yard line. As for 'Why didn't the sequel break out?', it's quite possible that J.J. Abrams 'mystery box' shares some of the blame.  Frankly the second film took so long to actually go into production, with several false starts, that I'm not sure J.J. Abrams and company wanted to do another one in the first place.  This would arguably explain the reliance on the crutch that is their choice of villain, a painfully uninspired choice made doubly-odd by Abrams's refusal to confirm his identity in the marketing.  In short, why pick a villain purely because he is recognizable to more general audience Star Trek fans and then hide his presence in the marketing? Of course, this 'mystery' could arguably only work because they took a character originally played by an ethnic actor and cast the whitest white guy they could find, but that's a topic for Racebending. Abrams stressed that the film was full of massive secrets that couldn't be spoiled, which was untrue (if you know movies and movie cliches, the film is very predictable) and left Paramount with only generic action cliches and context-free moments of visual splendor to sell.  If the idea of the director lording over a marketing campaign, overruling the studio marketing executives, and producing a less than expected financial result sounds familiar, it's pretty much, on a far more damaging scale, what happened with John Carter last year. Marvel had the right plan with Iron Man 3, giving away enough to get viewers interested but actually having a genuine bunny or two in your hat worth hiding.  Of course, attempts to pull in stereo-typically female moviegoers was kneecapped by the surprisingly robust performance of The Great Gatsby last weekend. For what it's worth, the film played 45% 3D, which includes that 16% IMAX figure. The other, more troubling possibility for the franchise is that perhaps Star Trek was a fluke.  Maybe the rebooted origin story didn't turn Star Trek into a massively mainstream franchise in America, but was rather a one-off that successfully connected with Trekkies and general audiences in a manner similar to the periodic and temporary franchise upswings (think Star Trek: First Contact or Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).  Overseas may yet tell a different tale (it's at around $164 million worldwide after opening in most markets over the last two weekends), but it needs to massively outplay Star Trek's $128 million foreign take to turn this into a genuine blockbuster. If it plays identical to Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, or 2.8x its four-day Thurs-Sun opening, it ends up with $235 million domestic, which is clearly the best case scenario. If it plays like Revenge of the Sith, it ends up with $203 million. If it plays like The Matrix Reloaded, it earns $178 million. So there is lots of wiggle room, and it's probably playing great with general audiences who aren't howling in protest at the very elements that were meant to condescendingly call back to the films Trekkies love most (it's actually a better film than Star Trek until its final two reels).  If it ends up at or below $180 million, it ends up smack-dab in the middle of the Star Trek franchise in terms of inflation-adjusted grosses.  What this probable over/under $200 million result means is that this new Star Trek franchise has come back down to Earth and will now play like a normal Star Trek film, with the obvious boost in inflation-adjusted grosses, 3D ticket-price bumps, and current blockbuster budgets. Best case scenario, Star Trek Into Darkness makes it to $235 million and triples its prior overseas numbers for a $620 million worldwide total.  Worst case scenario, the film crawls to $175 million domestic and barely improves on its predecessor overseas, giving it an under-$400 million worldwide take.  We'll know when we'll know, but considering the sheer amount of competition over the next two weeks and the soon-to-go away IMAX screens, we cannot be expecting the kind of legs the first film displayed. The likely end result of this genuinely disappointing debut and probably disappointing final gross is that Paramount will clean house as much as they can for the third Star Trek film.  J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company still 'first look' rights until 2015, so a complete purge is not going to happen.  Come what may, 2016 is Star Trek's 50th anniversary, so Paramount till be damn sure to have a new film in theaters by then. Abrams will be busy with Star Wars Episode VII so expect someone along the lines of Drew Goddard or Matt Reeves (both strong choices I'd argue) to step into the chair this time around.  If they can get away with it, Star Trek 3 will be cheaper than Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, which will allow a $450-$650 million worldwide take to be massively profitable. I'll make the rest of the box office news brief. Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha opened well, with $135,000 on four screens, for a robust 33,750 per-screen average. Iron Man 3 passed $300 million domestic and $1 billion worldwide last Thursday (it's currently at $1.07 billion), so it's all gravy from this point forward. It earned $35 million domestic this weekend, down 51%, for a current cume of $337 million, surpassing Spider-Man 3 to enter the top-25 all-time domestic grossers (for a superb essay by Andrew Johnson over at Movie Mezzanine on the geo-political ramifications of the Iron Man series, go HERE).  The Great Gatsby dropped 53% this weekend, earning another $23.4 million and bringing its cume to $90.2 million.  So far, so good old sport.  And Fast and Furious 6 debuted in the UK and Ireland this weekend in advance of its domestic roll-out next Friday (seeing it tomorrow), and picked up a solid $13.8 million for its troubles.  That's enough for now.  Join us next weekend for the insanely crowded Memorial Day frame, where Fast & Furious 6 (review Tuesday or Wednesday) squares off against The Hangover part III and Epic (review Thursday).

    The Obama Administration made a bold and correct scientific decision last month to allow risk-based decisions to guide responses to radiological events like a dirty bomb attack or a nuclear reactor accident. And not to treat it like a superfund site. This is very important because, in such events, the normal response can be worse than the event itself for many of those affected.
