Disney Shutters Miramax

American Voices • Entertainment • movies • ISSUE 46•04 • Feb 1, 2010

The Walt Disney Company is closing down its indie-film arm Miramax, the home of such films as The Piano and Pulp Fiction. What do you think?

“That's good. I always thought it was bullshit that Disney got to hide behind Miramax every time they wanted to release a violent movie where Mickey beats the shit out of Pluto."”

“Thank God. It was always so boring sitting through that four-second logo at the beginning of movies. It just said 'Miramax'—no lion, no mountain, no kid fishing from the moon, no nothing."”

“Is there anything that Boondock Saints guy touched that didn’t get ruined?"”
