    Honest to God, this is a PR slam dunk if they do that. They get to write if the pay out as a donation to charity for tax purposes, get the lime light of them doing something generous for a cancer patient, and can show that they take the few breeches of their malware.qall seriously. Hell they could probably double the pay out and they wouldn’t even notice the loss.






  • Honestly sounds like an interesting concept. From I was.gling in blind at least your idea sounds interesting enough to warrant giving a demo a try.

    My only word of caution is that you said you wanted to make a dark comedy about ethics and that’s going to be a tough sell at the best of times. That isn’t to say that there is no audience for something with gallows/macabre/dark satire humor, just that that group is small from the jump.

    One of the more interesting takes I’ve seen on the trolley problem is the “double and pass” wrinkle. Where it starts with you and the person you value the most on the track on one side and a random stranger on the other. And your choice is to either sacrifice your loved one or spare both passing the decision on to the next person where it’s doubled. As in their loved one versus two strangers.






  • I guess I’m the odd one out then. I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan. Ender’s Game still stands as my favorite book after all these years. But I’m not too crazy about fantasy. I’ve bounced off of books, shows, and movies that my friends and family loved. They just seemed to be mediocre stories with fantasy paint on it and people who like Wizards were able to gloss over the holes.

    It’s not unheard of for people to not be interested in the other genre. But those people are outnumbered by consumers who just want the new thing.
