N.Y. Times reporter Michael Cieply has written a light-hearted, semi-whimsical piece about the persistence of big-business villains in modern movies -- whatever. The odd thing is that Speed Racer producer Joel Silver declined to be interviewed for it. One images the reasoning: "Please...no light-hearted N.Y. Times articles about corporate villainy...leave us alone....the article might be slanted against the film!" The Wachowski brothers, true to form, also declined to be interviewed.

Shame the article doesn't say if the villain lives in a hillside John Lautner home. It's Joel Silver, after all.
