Other Crap

'Lord of the Rings' director sues over revenues. The basis of the suit is quite technical. Time Warner sold ancillary rights to the film to other divisions of their company. Jackson is entitled to a percentage of those revenues, and he got them all right, but his suit alleges that the Warner Movie Division should have placed all of those ancillary rights up for bid on the open market instead of just handing them over to sister companies. Sounds like a small deal? Well, sir, Jackson says it may have cost him as much as $100 million!
