GQ, Jack Olsen:
Lightning's got to strike about six times for a moive to go from being an idea in someones head to the point where it's a whole lot of splashy pictures on a screen.
Interesting. (thanks for the link, Jack)

Though GQ's slant, saying it's seemingly strange for one to make money on an still-born project . . .what were their words?. . . "In any other industry, this would be an inconceivable phenomenon . . ."

Well, apparently GQ knows nothing of my Product Development world. (people get paid, and few products "stick".)
For that matter, had GQ somehow NOT noticed all the wealth given 1990's start-ups? "CEO's" were taking in great money, with far less than a half-baked product.

In the end, I suppose those "CEO's" were very much like Jack. . . selling a good story.
