Reflective Barry Diller Laments His City of Inbred Spawn
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 7:25 AM on May 30, 2008
After decades of sprinkling his virile mogul seed on lots all over town, cultivating muscular sprouts along the lines of Jeffrey Katzenberg, Dawn Steel and others, inveterate media pollenator Barry Diller offered these wrenching words about Hollywood at this week's D6 Technology conference in Carlsbad: "It's a community that's so inbred it's a wonder the children have any teeth." Ouch. He must have forgotten about decidedly toothless Sahara director Breck Eisner, whose father Michael got his start under Diller during his years at ABC. That said, we weep for the third generation, whose inability to type or mouse-click with their beflippered limbs will sink Diller's digital empire once and for all.

Where does Tony Goldwyn fit into this scheme?

@CourageousCoward: He occupies the top spot on The Killer's "Get" list. Bobby G would love nothing more than to literally railroad a real Goldwyn (or Warner or Selznick or Gyllenhaal).

It is just me probably, but he looks (in that pic) like a penis with glasses and a suit.

@rudolphdude: He'll be glad to hear that because that was the look he was going for.
