I'm in something of a pickle.
2004-08-09, 10:03 AM #1
Okay, here's the skinny: so a while back I made this JK mod called dark fist. John Woo came up to me the other day and told he he'd love to make it into a movie, and will give me half of a stale ham sandwich for the rights. He says the ideas it contains are amazingly fresh and well thought out, and he'd love to try his hands at some sort of action movie involving asian people (a completely diversion from his usual genre's of interpretive dance and 18th century styled british romance). Now, I'm hungry, and I want that sandwich, but I'm pretty sure if I keep the rights I could sell them to id Software. I mean the way I took advantage of JK's graphics to produce astounding eye-candy like that, who could turn me down. I'm at a loss for what to do, and time is running out. God knows that sandwich won't last forever. Can anyone help me?

Man, get yourself a lawyer and do it fast. This Woo guy might be trying to scam you and you may end up having to give him not only a half, but a FULL stale ham sandwich.

I'd take the half of a stale ham sandwich. You're young, there's so much you could do with that half of a stale ham sandwich.
