How America has changed since Nov 2008

You can tell just by picking up any movies pre-recession.
"The Holiday": big SUVs, huge house in LA, first-class flights. Just 10 minutes into the movie, you know Amanda's lavish life is not happening today. She can safely get her mind off the little sentimental troubles and focus on how to pay the bills.
Let's face it, no business is recession-proof. Not marketers on Madison Ave, Not celebrities on Sunset Blvd, Not even the mafias on the Strip.

And when Graham, the charming British book editor, portraying his mother, an important Random House editor, a strong working woman. I have to say the game has changed, and the movie script writers weren't pay attention.

The recession is an excellent chance for POD (I mean publishing on demand, not just print), because the blockbuster model of publishing is simply not sustainable.
