On a related note, I now own the rights to King Kong. Back in 33', I gave Merian C. Cooper the idea to do a movie about a giant gorilla. We were good buddies in the war, and spent many a night playing backgammon and parcheesi in our tent. After MC Coop (that's what all his close friends called him) hit it big with "Kong", he agreed to give me selected home video/trading card/thong pantie/commemorative plate rights to our most famous creation. However, Cooper agreed only if he could keep the rights until May 22, 2006. Since that day is today, I know legally own the rights to Kong. Don't believe me? Take a look at this highly official
LEGAL DOCUMENT! that Cooper signed back in 33':
Since Cooper died before the date originally decided upon, the rights were claimed by greedy good-for-nothing studio goons! But today, the rights revert back to the rightful owner, me, so fans can rest assured that Kong is in good hands. I am currently working on a
LIMITED SUPER SEXY EDITION of Kong to be released on DVD-R (how real men watch movies) later this month featuring an extensive screencap gallery and 12 baseball cards . Pre-order your copy today!
