Corporate bulimia is when companies grow uncontrollably then inevitably layoff people when they miss their growth forecasts. They "binge" via aggressive hiring, acquisitions and mergers, only to then "purge" via planned and unplanned mass layoffs. Results in a perpetually demoralized, depressed and anxious staff of survivors who then repeat the process until eventually the company goes bankrupt or is sold for parts. Rarely a company actually survives this cycle, thereafter attempting to appear healthy to outsiders while employees continue to suffer in silence. The term is an analogy comparing the neurotic growth of companies to the devastating illness bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder. All-too-often found in vainglorious Silicon Valley growth-focused companies.
"Another ten thousand wage slave layoffs were announced today in the latest rounds of corporate bulimia."

An alarming trend in Hollywood where classic movies in various genres are re-chewed by some worthless piece of shit hack who has no ideas of their own and puked up to audiences who either 1. Don't know any better ie. Didn't know that the movie in question is/was a remake or 2. Just don't give a fuck.
As of 2008 there were 172 acts of celluloid bulimia and the trend continues. We as movie watchers and lovers of these movies, or some of them, wish that Hollywood would get some help for their celluloid bulimia, or find someone with an original idea... and fast.
