I completely remember that interview. Oh, Lord what a load of hogwash that was. I remember just watching it absolutely dumbfounded at how arrogant and oblivious he was. Definitely the most frightening thing Disney has put out in a while.
Right! what's the most sickening was that when "some" callers came through with something negative to say, Eisner really cared less and gave short answers and moved on , but when someone asked something positive he stayed on it. Then he credited HIMSELF for finding Walt's grave, and continued to brag on himself, when Walt's wife led him to it. Sickening.
I really think Eisner is a very lonely person. I think when he's in his board room he's very powerful and authoritative, but something makes me think that he's so unhappy. When I look at him at times I nearly feel sorry for him for jumping on him so much, but then when I see him in interviews I hate him that much more. If he just wasn't so arrogant I may be more understanding of his views.
I still can't get over the bonus he paid himself.
Also, to me it's obvious that he realizes he was not doing a good job before March. It is SO obvious! Just look at this.................Before March nothing was happening positive in the Magic Kingdom, in fact, half of the MK was closed down and just sitting there.
Since March notice right at this moment the complete rehab of nearly the entire MK. Everything that was closed or needing revamping is being done. So, ok, some was planned before March. Maybe, but let's be honest, Eisner's had the heat of the stockholders long before Roy Disney stepped down. I think it just finally hit the fan and the public saw it when the convention came and the unbelieveable #'s against him came out in the vote.
Oh, also in the interview with King, he bragged about being able to go to the parks at night when they are closed. "That's the perk of being CEO of Disney" he said. I agree, that is a perk but, when that many people hate you and don't think you should be there, don't brag about it. He was slapping us in the face, those of us who dislike him.
More than anything that's what I have a problem with. In his interviews he takes pop shots at us who dislike him. He thorws things in our faces.
Oh well , I guess I'm off topic. Sorry.
