GREETINGS FROM SUNNY ORLANDO: I'm here for the weekend for a firm retreat, and our dinner/festivities on the New York lot of Universal Studios left me with three questions regarding the Universal characters who greeted us and circulated throughout the evening:
  • What, if anything, is the enduring appeal of Woody Woodpecker and Betty Boop for contemporary audiences?
  • Is Judy Belushi Pisano adequately compensated for the travesty of a faux-Blues Brothers revue we witnessed? Our "Joliet" Jake Blues was insufficiently stout, and how do you not have them perform "Sweet Home Chicago"?
  • Setting aside the question of whether it misapprehended the audience in the first place to have The Man in the Yellow Hat, Curious George, Jimmy Neutron and Dora the Explorer as characters circulating during an all-grownups law firm event -- were my eyes mistaken, or did Dora have a tramp stamp last night?
