Insulting! So I insult right back! There's a bit more to this conversation, but this is what pissed me off.
Mike: "It is a formula story that follows to many identical stories that have low ROI. ROI is return on investment. If you want to make a story that has been done over and over, find something that is a money maker you can get the rights to make."
ME:
"ROI is return on investment." LOL. Ok! Since you want to insult my
intelligence.
"It is a formula story that follows to many identical stories that have low
ROI. ROI is return on investment. If you want to make a story that has been

Mike, what's your plan for "I, Creator"?
And be completely honest; What is not "generic" about it? What's unique about
this story?
This is a feature film, I presume, what separates this from the other 10,000
feature films(http://robbcorp.com/photo/mass-audience-filmmaking)?
And in this case, what multiples are you looking for in terms of ROI (Wow! I
can't believe I know what that means)?
Oh yeah, Without using a search engine, define P/E ratio and EPS. Also, if I
have a put option on a stock currently trading at $5.00 with a strike price of
$17.00, what is my loss/profit?
He couldn't respond!
