<font color=red>UPDATE!!</font> And The TERMINATOR Rights Go To...<I>Hunh</I>??

Merrick again...

THIS piece in Variety reveals another wrinkle in the matter: TERMINATOR rights winner Pacificor is now negotiating with Sony and Lionsgate to sell one or both of them the rights - presumably at a cost greater than the same rights were purchased for yesterday. I suggest both companies could nab the rights because of this mention in the Variety piece...

Sony and Lionsgate had combined their bids during Monday's auction.

A Little Something for Table Top Gamers...

A trailer has been posted for Jason Thompson and Victor Hao's graphic novel King of RPGs. Reviewed here, I'd suggest that if you share its enthusiasm for pen and paper RPGs, it's a comic not to miss.

Bonus points if you can identify the background music.

Hey folks, Harry here with news that's pretty much well suspected, but I believe this is the first time Bill has confirmed not just his involvement, but how he'd be involved... although I do believe Harold Ramis mentioned this at some point. Here ya go:
