firing my agent
Without out getting into too much bitching - my partner and I decided to spread a rumor that we were going to fire our agent. We told our manager, two other writers and a friend who works in the mail room of a competing agency.
He called us less than 3 hours later, apologizing profusely and setting up meetings for us. The kicker? He asked if we wanted to write Bloodrayne 2 motherfucker:mad: But he got us some other meetings - good ones, so we'll stick with him until someone better comes along.

Nice move Rod! It's clear to me now how you ended up as the HDC Sole Survivor when you're busting out strategic moves like that in your day to day life.
I guess I missed the first part of the story though. Why did you want to fire him to begin with? Or did you never really want to and this whole thing was just an attempt to get him working harder for you?

Since this move, he has set up several meetings for us and we're happy as Larry. Just not going to work with Uwe Boll ever! Don't need his taint on my career:D

Other names to steer clear of:
Courtney Solomon (Dungeons and Dragons, An American Haunting) Paul Anderson They have perfected their own brand of alchemy, turning gold into shit.

I never liked event horizon. Resident evil doesnt hold up to repeated viewings (and the commentary forever killed mila jovovich and michelle rodriguez for me... Airheads...) And mortal kombat.... Well, comparing it to annihilation is like comparing a road apple to an over-full port-o-potty. one may siuck less than the other, but they are both shit.

That's a pretty clever move. Maybe I should try that on my agent who hasn't been answering my emails lately.
