My Dinner with Ovitz

Hollywood uncovered! Gloriously naked for all to see, and what we see isn't very pretty...but it is pretty funny. Watching the so-called powerful falling on their own petards is a venal pleasure, yet it also serves as a life lesson.

Like an elementary school bully, Michael Ovitz used his powerful position in the Hollywood wars to step on, steal from and bad mouth whomever stood in his way of control of the school yard. When he loses his power the bully becomes victim and blames everyone else for his demise.

As laughable as his Vanity Fair interview was for his incriminating of "The Gay Mafia" for his fall, "My Dinner With Ovitz" is even funnier as it rams the actual interview headlong into Coppola's "Godfather." The result is a farcical and sad truth that should make the Hollywood step-upons, stolen-froms and never-beens delighted and perhaps even a little vindicated.
