When everyone at Fox thought “Something About Mary” was going to be a bomb, Hutch Parker did everything he could to distance himself from it and bad mouth the Farrelly’s. After it became a hit, he started referring to it as “my movie” and claimed to have essentially rewritten the entire script himself. He’s among the most self-promoting and ass-kissing execs in town. “Butt boy” and “Peter Principle” are understatements.

Uh… Hutch actually made his bones as one of Marc Platt’s WASP butt-boys at Orion in the early ’90s before he married into Hollywood royalty and Peter-Principled his way up the ladder at Fox. Just to be historically accurate, and all….

I adore Hutch and feel that the best for him would be to get the hell off the FOX lot and off their payroll. Now he is gonna be stuck for a number of years in the hell that is Newscorp.

Now who will Alex Young blame all his lying and conniving on with Hutch gone? He will have no one to hide behind and the truth will come out

Alex Young is only there because he jumps when Tom Rothman says jump. Rothman is a lcd kind of guy. He doesn’t want the films good he wants them on budget. He knowingly made ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS for the money not for quality- he knew it would suck when he started. The only way you stay working there is to ass kiss Rothman like it is going out of style. Hutch was a bad actor who smiled his way into Sydney Pollack’s family and a job at Fox. He was a good soldier but this is at best a lateral move since Regency is basically Rothman’s puppet bank. I guess he wasn’t that desired after all.

Alex Young! Man, I haven’t thought about him in a while. Thanks a lot. Now I’m not happy.

Alex Young is the single worst executive I’ve ever worked with. He thinks he can write, the thinks he can edit, he thinks he can direct. He treats writers like crap and actually rewrites their scripts, himself. One day, the WGA is going to nail him on this, if his reputation doesn’t do him in first. His movies make money because of the marketing prowess of Fox, but they’re all god awful. This is a guy that you do not want to be in business with.

You hit the nail on the head with your comment about Alex Young. Wow, what a moron.
