QuikQuote: Eisner predicted the movie would break Pixar's blockbuster streak — even though Disney stood to reap 50 percent of the profits for distributing the film — because he was jealous and resentful of Pixar's success, according to the book by James B. Stewart.
"Yesterday, we saw for the second time the new Pixar movie 'Finding Nemo' that comes out next May," Eisner wrote in a memo to Disney's board. "This will be a reality check for those guys. It's OK, but nowhere near as good as their previous films. "Of course, they think it's great," Eisner added. "Trust me, it's not, but it will open."

Oh, yeah, this is a man with his finger on the pulse of the movie-going public. He totally deserves to keep his job.
