Barry Diller on Indiana Jones and the hypocrisy of George Lucas

Barry Diller delivers a brutally honest tour of his greatest hits and misses. He nearly bought Amazon's debt during its near-bankruptcy around 2000 — until Vivendi stalled him until the window closed. He turned down Steve Jobs on Pixar because he "just didn't get animation." He missed AOL because he couldn't get financing to buy out Paul Allen. He recounts the infamous Ticketmaster/Live Nation boardroom coup engineered by Irving Azoff. And he describes calling George Lucas a "sanctimonious hypocrite" after Lucas reneged on the sequel terms for Raiders of the Lost Ark. #business #deals #amazon Want the full story behind the interview?
