A fine piece of analysis
It’s less than 450 words. It’s written by a movie critic, not an industry analyst.
I was impressed, however, how crisply Richard Corliss summarized trends in the movie industry in his Time column – its challenges and its global growth.
The analytics he embeds – seasonal, demographic, related to genres – speak a thousand words each.
Be nice to see more technology analysts and bloggers abstracting higher - not just talk about product features or happy vendor talk, and more about trends in sectors. And yes, even those trends that don’t look positive.
