Notable quotes
“I would do the same thing. There was a moral imperative for him to completely redo Trudeau's Deadpool. Like, they could not go out and give Trudeau any credit.”
“You do not want to lose your cash cow to another company. If they're not, I would suggest they consider it. Elwin gets first pick.”
“Everything else that got a cornerstone rock band had at least 100 million in sales worldwide. Rush is at 40 million.”
“Do we get the Gomez ramp in his next game? That damn same ramp material and everything that we've seen in Batman and in Deadpool?”
“It didn't really trigger until 2011. Because Elvis was an outlier. And then all of a sudden they just poured it on.”
