Netflix dismisses film boss Dan Lin before Peter Rice arrives

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNetflix let film boss Dan Lin go at the start of the weekend, Variety reports, and he still showed up to Saturday's Academy Gala and a Sunday screening on the Netflix campus.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIs it ever okay to keep your schedule after you're fired?

3. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYes. It was a free screening of La Bola Negra, and he'd already been let go, so what's the downside? Popcorn is popcorn.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNo. On the campus that just dumped him? You don't sit in row nine of the building that cleared your desk.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's loitering with a lanyard.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI think it's dignified. He walked in with his head high. Nobody gets to tell you which movie you can watch.

7. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAlso, he was due to address his teams on Monday. So technically the screening was a rehearsal.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA farewell speech to people who've just watched a thousand colleagues go the week before.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorPeter Rice starts on October twenty-sixth, so the chairs are warming up.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, you're just jealous. You'd never get invited to a gala.

11. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI went to one in two thousand six. I left through the kitchen, with dignity and a tray of tiny sausages.

12. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, hands up if you'd go to the screening.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwo yeses, one doomed. Even the snake got an exit grade out of you, Dale.

14. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorCartwheel, perfect landing, and I still say the exit was doomed.

15. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRex, did anybody get fired from your team's weekend? Asking for Dale.
