Not to be crass, by methinks GL just needs to get LAID.
Perhaps all these dumb decisions come from living a secluded billionaire life (ala Michael Jackson) with no one around him but young kids and yes-men. I'm sure GL has some abandonment issues and perhaps they've manifested in this 'only child-ish, I won't share' attitude of his. Perhaps, and only perhaps, ole GL hasn't had a 'normal' relation with a woman since the OT came out and his refusal to acknowledge the original versions stems from his wanting to close these personal chapters in his life. Maybe this is some type of mental blocking- maybe he's not telling us that his *work* before then doesn't exist but instead his *life* before that doesn't exist.
Steven Speilberg- buy your friend an escort. A really hot one. Or at least get a nanny for the kids and let him go to Vegas for a month or so. The company will exist without him for a bit.
