So JJ gets to put one over on Paramount AND GET 10 mil a year for free?
I mean, who wouldnt do that, but that's still dick of him.
Ruins that kind of deal for the next wave of directors.
Nah, that deal was pretty specific to Abrams, and Abrams alone.
And Abrams doing this to Paramount is only really "dick" if you treat Paramount as if they're a person instead of a giant fucking corporation. Which is what they are, and if they had the sort of leverage Abrams had, they'd have absolutely used it for the good of their company, dick or no.
If you, as an individual, have the opportunity to put one over on a corporation in a manner that benefits you financially with no real downside? Why the fuck wouldn't you do that?
They're a corporation. They don't have feelings. Paramount will hire him back in a second, because they have to.
Corporations aren't people. You can be a dick to them.
