My “Jackals of Kalamazoo” revenge fantasy didn’t do so hot, I’m afraid.
Back to print fiction, I guess…
My rather painfully named “Mate Trix” (a hacker/romance) didn’t do so hot either… well did make money but only about 8m…
And what did Kalamazoo ever do too you? You’re just jealous cause it’s got the Great Lakes up there, aren’t you?
Best one so far has been Vin Diesel and Kate Beckinsale in a family/lingering illness/period drama/talking animal movie. 113 million. I clearly should be in Hollywood.
This is fun. 🙂 My novel in not-progress (staffed, of course, with the talents of Johnny Depp, pirate in eyeliner) would make about 102 million.
Whee!

I got Jack Garner praising me too, for my animated adaptation of Ubik. Of course, the problem with Garner is that he praises everybody — the man gives out more 10s than a bribed Olympics judge.
Garner is obviously a cheese-eating review monkey.
Garner must be easy.
11% chance of an Oscar nod, 4% chance of a win. Go me!
I would like to know how I got Jude Law on a $10 million budget.
