: And agreed upon by whom anyway?
I think JHW's attorney proposed the sum and the studio (?) agreed to pay the damn ticket and get on with life.
If you didn't see it, Kevin posted the exchange between himself and JH on/around 11/30. I wish I had kept it because it was really eye-opening.
: That's more than it cost to make the whole damn movie!
: $50,000 for a MINOR character in a cheaply made cult film to get his face on a T-shirt? Is "Olaf" out of his mind? Whining about that money for playing a small part? Biting the hand that feeds him and too dumb to see it.
: : : What I told Olaf was that something is worth what someone is willing, or obliged to pay. Olaf put it in the hands of his agent and his agent bargained a price. 50,000 dollars is what was agreed upon. If it was worth that much, it wouldn't have been agreed upon.
: Poor logic there.
