Yeah, like me and my people are going to do, once we get some money in about 4 years... Then we'll say "In your face, snotty University that wouldn't accept us!" I even offered the bastids flowers, but they said, "No, it's too late, try next year..." And they wouldn't let my comrades in because of their crappy english marks. How evil is that? Well, not too evil I suppose, the real evil is the limitation in slots that can be filled. In fact, that's what the sequel to my first movie will be about - evil, and it's true meaning and purpose (woo fucking-scary, no?...) But anyone can make a movie - the real trick is getting a couple of nice 'important' chaps who are part of a big evil corporation to really like your shit and want to mass produce it... And having talented friends is really handy too... But enough of my chatty bullshit (spawned from pre-exam procrastination), I have a question for someone more knowledged than myself. How reasonable are musical artists in regards to agreeing to have their music put into movies done by no-name losers? Is there lots of tough crap to deal with? Is it just a better idea to just go with the lesser known artists?, as they aren't really big enough to be power-assholes. I would love to know about your experiences in these matters - those who have actually have made movies and tried to get music for them.

And a note to any potential smart-ass fan who wants to be a shit-head by offering a useless smart-ass answer with insulting overtones: Shut up you pathetic loser - no one thinks you're clever.
