Can't we all just get along?

It's been a while since someone new has joined my dead to me list...... but, congratulations are in order to 20th Century Fox. (Summer Road Construction lucked out because it is winter, and are now off the list) They are fighting against the release of the movie Watchmen. Now this movie is the only real thing I have left to live for. The trailer is below and it looks sweet. About 2 months ago I taught myself how to read and went out and read the graphic novel, and that was sweet as well. If the movie doesn't totally drop the ball, I think it was be as cool, or cooler than Sin City or 300, both created in the same feign.

The reason that Fox is suing Warner Brothers is stupid. Fox bought the rights to the movie in 1980, and sat on it for over 25 years. Even while Warner Brothers was making the movie, they said nothing about it. Now that it is done and it looks crazy good, they are saying that they still have the only rights to the movie and Warner Brothers has no right to release it. I know I am not "lawyer-smart" but this seems ridiculous. That's like seeing a girl in junior high but never asking her out and then 20 years later she gets married so you go to her new family and take her away from her husband and kids in the middle of the night because you "saw her first."

It seems like the movie will probably still come out, but it may be delayed beyond the original March date, and it may end up costing Warner Brothers millions of dollars. It seems asine that Fox will get a percentage of the movie profits becuase they bought the rights to a story 28 years ago but never did anything with it. Now that someone else did all the work, they want to get all the rewards. That's like a dead-beat-dad knocking up some chick who raises the kid who becomes a star athlete, and then the dad comes back and wants to reunite with the kid and get money from him.
