Yay!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge has ordered Marvel Enterprises Inc. to pay the creator of the comic book character Spider-Man 10 percent of Marvel's profits from the "Spider-Man" movies, Marvel said on Wednesday.

Marvel, a comic book publisher that licenses its characters, said the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered it to pay Spider-Man creator Stan Lee a share of proceeds it has received since November 1998 from movies, television shows and movie-related toys manufactured by Marvel.

And boo. The rest of the story.

"Spider-Man," released by Sony in 2002, was one of the top worldwide box office hits of all time.

Marvel said it would appeal the ruling. It said it does not expect the decision to have an impact on financial forecasts for 2004 and beyond.

Marvel said the court rejected a claim by Lee, who is now chief creative officer for POW! Entertainment, to share in proceeds from third-party licensees of movie-related merchandise.

The court left unresolved Lee's claim that he is entitled to a share of profits from Marvel's joint venture with Sony Corp. related to Spider-Man movie merchandise and to a share of Marvel's international profits from the Hulk movie merchandise licensing program with Universal Studios.

Those claims will be heard in a forthcoming jury trial, Marvel said.

Marvel shares fell 48 cents to $17.75.

Cindy, stack the cats.

By the way, I just started a list of evil people.

So far, it's just Jessica.

Sweet! I'm #1! I'm #1!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Deb, Sephora can (as I'm sure you're painfully aware) occasionally be a rather scented atmosphere and maybe not the best for you; you can also find Phyto hairstuffs at Pure Beauty, which is an essentially ordorless almost-strictly-hair-product place with stores at 9th and Irving and on Haight Street near Booksmith.

I can barely stand to look at or listen to the news lately; it just makes me want to cry. Except for the Rice confirmation hearing, which so far is making me want to give Barbara Boxer and Joe Biden big, sloppy kisses. I doubt they'll do much good, but bless their hearts and souls for trying.

What is even happening?

Lee, if I weren't listless, I'd point out Jessica's always been evil. But she's evil in the way that a friend or roommate is evil, when you really, really, really don't want to go to work/school/whatever, and she comes up with the excuse, and encourages you to stay home, saying you look pale, and suggests that maybe if you just take it easy, and watch Becoming, and have some ice cream, maybe you'll feel better.

Timelies, peeps.

Okay, I have to call bullshit on this Project: Runway show on Bravo. No way is this a real reality show. My instinct was to call bullshit when I first saw it advertized because the two really gay designers were just TOO GAY. But I was willing to let it go, that maybe they were real designers, and were just affecting their uber-gayness.

Now the ads for tonight's episode pushed me too far. Apparently those same two uber-gay designers get into a cat fight, and the fat one starts bouncing the skinny one's head off a wall while the skinny one cries and doesn't fight back.

IT LOOKS SO FUCKING FAKE! LIKE, ORIGINAL GEN STAR TREK FIGHTS LOOK GRITTILY REAL BY COMPARISON! I CALL BULLSHIT ON THE WHOLE SHOW!
