Obsessed is a Black film, actually. This loophole in finance Uwe has been riding is something Black filmmakers could/should use to make larger budget films in other countries. There are so many horror scripts that don' t get made in Hollywood that could be getting done in Europe!

Haha, yeah that SF fan therapy is quite lucrative! Let's also not forget the many Sci-Fi Originals that are made with NBC/GE Money that probably never make their money back in advertising, hence they are shown a billion times. On Jul 6, 2009, at 7:54 AM, Martin Baxter wrote: Great
