Bilson Confusion

Bilson Confusion

THQ is a company in peril.  Between the closing of studios, the selloff of the UFC license, and a change in leadership, the future of THQ is in serious question.  THQ's troubles continued this week.

THQ's new President Jason Rubin recently did an interview where it appears at first glance that he was avoiding questions about the previous THQ President Danny Bilson.  This is a statement given by Jason Rubin in an interview on Wednesday:

"If I look to Bilson's past, I don't know what went wrong because I wasn't here, but I can tell you some things went right.  Where we go in the future will be my responsibility."

While that statement does not contain any revelatory material, the next statement Rubin made does.

"I hope Bilson all the best in Bilson's new project, Hart Of Dixie."

That statement brings up more questions about Jason Rubin's than any other statement he's made during his time in the gaming industry.

In that statement, Jason Rubin refers, not to any project Danny Bilson is currently involved in, but to Hart Of Dixie.  Hart Of Dixie is a currently running dramatic series that airs on The CW.  Hart Of Dixie stars Rachel Bilson.

Rachel Bilson is not Danny Bilson.  Rachel Bilson has no current connections to the gaming industry.  It is not even known IF Rachel Bilson plays games.  She is currently dating Hayden Christensen, but that seems to be the only connection that Rachel Bilson has to anything having to do with Geek Culture.

Jason Rubin's reference to Rachel Bilson, instead of his predecessor Danny Bilson, brings up the following questions: What the fuck is this guy thinking?  Does this guy have the correct mental makeup to lead THQ out of the quandary it currently finds itself in?  Does this guy have the ability to lead any company in a positive direction?  And finally, why did this guy make a reference to a series on the CW that is universally panned by critics?

We will find you.  We found your brother.  We found your father.  We found your mother.  We found them and we killed them, just like we will do to you.
