With Great Power

I guess the movie industry’s motto should be, “with great power comes no responsibility.” Comic book legend Stan Lee says that Marvel owes him big bucks due to a contract that grants Lee 10% of all profits from the comic book characters he created. Marvel claims that, ‘the company has seen no “profits” as defined by their contract.’

Ummm….. Yeah. Right. The Spider-Man movie grossed over $400 million domestically, over $700 million since the release of the home video, but there are no profits? Puh-leez. We’re not mushrooms, stop feeding us this crap.
