Sky Wake
On Thursday evening the remnants of the company once known as New Line Cinema -- 48 people, although it could be more like 45 -- will be celebrating their annual summer shindig at Sky Bar. The theme of the party, I've been told, is "hey, we didn't get whacked!" Okay, I wasn't really told that.
Something in the vicinity of 450 L.A. New Line employees were guillotined last April as part of the Warner Bros.-mandated engulfment-and-downsizing, and that's not counting the New York staffers who were also given their walking papers. It's an old New Line tradition to have a big summer celebration in August and also a holiday party in December. NL production chief Tobey Emmerich could have decided to cancel the Thursday party as a gesture of mourning for the chopped ex-employees, but you have to grim up and live in the now.

this party should be called 'target practice'.....if i were these guys, i'd be keeping a pretty low profile (not whooping it up at sky).....

Low profile in Hollywood? Is that possible?

Why does every city have a Sky Bar? Is that the highest they can think right now? Why not a Star Bar or Nova Bar? I supposed that's next. As for New Line, greed got the best of them after LOTR.

New Line Cinema fell prey to corporate downsizing? Was this after the writer's guild strike? Probably. Can't have those writer's striking now. They had many a reason to strike and cut short seasons for various TV shows I wait for DVD on anyway.
