Culture: Universal Studios chief is definitely a straight-talker

  • We make a lot of @%#$ movies, and every one of them breaks my heart… Wolfman and Babe 2 are two of the &@!#tiest movies we put out.
  • Universal Studios president Ron Meyer • Providing a somewhat scattological assessment of some of his studio’s films over the years. He wasn’t just picking on Benicio del Toro’s wolflike manner, or Babe’s traipse through the big city, either — he hung Cowboys and Aliens and Land of the Lost out to dry as well. We only wish he’d speak with this sort of candor before the opening weekend box office results roll in, saving us all the trouble. source
