Quote of the Day

"Shame on every stupid-ass, morally ignorant fan out there who has expressed even the slightest opinion that this course of legal action in any way reflects an agenda of greed on the part of people not directly involved in the act of creation, or worse, has articulated as their primary concern the potential interruption of their monthly four-color fantasy intake. Part of me wishes we lived in the might makes right moral universe that supports such a piggish outlook, because then I could quit my job and drive around on a motorcycle punching people in the face until they penned a formal apology to the Siegel family."

Tom Spurgeon of ComicReporter.com, responding to comments by wrong-headed Superman "fans" re: Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel's heirs finally (if potentially temporarily) gaining a share of the copyright to the character Siegel created after nearly a decade of legal stonewalling by TimeWarner.

Figured out how to make the Big Fix in Spec Screenplay 1. As predicted, making it is going to be a huge pain in the backside.
