Hollywood’s One Stop News Shop

Time to introduce David Poland to those of you not in the know.
The prickly, but very readable, Mr. Poland writes a daily online column, called The Hot Button (available as the second to last link under Cinema) covering Hollywood, industry shenanigans, the cinema, and everything and anything related to the movie industry, each day Monday to Friday.
Written from an insider’s perspective, but never seeking to curry favour with the movers and shakers down Tinseltown way, Mr. Poland’s enthusiastic but still reasoned take on Hollywood has been must reading for many, dating back to the column’s début Friday, August 22nd, 1997.
In recent years, Mr. Poland has sought to expand the forum for his writing, the main result of which is Movie City News.com, which sports up-to-date links to important stories concerning Hollywood, and analysing trends in the industry and their impact on the rest of us.
