Dammit! That was one dollar over my bid! (I knew I shouldn't have lowballed them...)

Michael Yurinko

Wow, dude! Just wow. Paramount will always hold a special place in my heart. They made some awesome movies under Evans.

Xochi Blymyer

That breakup fee is quite nice. Wish I had made that deal.

Consensus out there right now is that this is a sham offer to, perhaps, help drive up Skydance's bid. We'll see how it shakes out.

Tom Lapke
