Great thread on why David Zaslav stands out for the worst from other CEOs who have run movie studios.
As bizarre as some decisions made by the likes of Michael Eisner, Ted Turner, Jon Peters, etc. were, you at least got the impression they liked movies.
Usually, movies made when a transition in leadership happens at a studio get some kind of short-end of the stick. Usually it's the movie being released w/o much fanfare, but at least it's STILL released in some form. Not the Zas, he just locks stuff away.
Loser behavior.
