Did they write out the dog? |
1st, let me say, I'm sorry about Grace, if it is true.
2nd, We have signed away no rights, all wrongs. I've copied the rights, tho', and I have them on a 5 1/4" 180k floppy, ready to be pressed into action, should a lucrative deal somehow materialize.
3rd, Our ending is much better. That model is the prior future model. It didn't end well for them, but then, it was meant to be a terrestrial craft.
4th, I hate to break it to you like this, but Hollywood is terribly anti-dog. I know, they talk a good game, but behind the scenes -- cats. All cats. Filthy, hairball-kacking, mouse-breath, tongue-bathing, aloof, mercurial, selfish, salmon-eating cats. Gives me the creeps. Sure, they'll cover you if you're a cute canine, with a winsome smile and worthy ways... they'll front you bones, but they'll cut you out in the contract. If you're an abel canine, they'll go all Cain on your ass. As long are your movies are pulling, they're all sycophantic, smarmy, servants -- but when your numbers drop, it's Good Bye Charlie. They don't return your calls, you find out that the limo is only a "loaner", the mansion is rented, and the bimbos suddenly think you're dirt. You find that the fine print is all trap-doors through which any future residuals will disappear, and "past expenses" suddenly give them legal control over your bank accounts. It's not pretty.
In MY Hollywood, dogs NEVER die (except for evil, spirit-possessed ones, or zombie dogs, and the like). Stick with me, and you only get the heroic parts, never have to play a heavy, and will wind up with a starlette at least 47.3% of the time. Well, adjusting for inflation, 37% of the time.
And did I mention speaking parts? You'll have speaking parts in ALL productions... and I'm not talking the "What goes over a house?" "Roof!", "How does sand-paper feel?" "Rough!" junk. You might even get a monologue, or maybe even a soliloquy!
Oh, and your own bowl.
