I've been shy to say it, but the accountants said that the Imagine Triptych has earned something like $100 billion.



The albums and tracks are selling too, so it's a Disney-size hit.



-



Wellington Triptych is apparently doing the rounds at cinemas.



People didn't get paid for those, so it's good that they'll get to benefit from the split royalties that we devised for the films.



Everyone got a cut, and it was about half of the pie.



-



Beatles nostalgia is fine, but they're deliberately cutting out people that are associated with Apple Corps or Paul.



My view is that the BBC series should have the licenced songs.


There's really no reason not to let them.



Apple Corps should push for editorial involvement.



Paul was personally sick of Hamburg, but others are still keen.


My take of Boys was a demo for them. E7 without the 3rd.

Imagine was planning to buy office space all over the world, so the proposal in Liverpool was probably a response to our plans.



Our plan is simple: a six-floor building near the CBD.


Off-Broadway, essentially.



Floor 1: Cafe/Imagine Peace museum.


Floors 2-4: Exhibition spaces. Theatres, galleries, screening rooms.


Floors 4-6: Office space for Imagine subsidiaries.



The Peace Museum will be a flagship.


A cultural space that hosts exhibitions of the resistance.


Books gigs, holds poetry readings, photos, movies etc.



There'll be a rotating exhibition of peace artifacts on the first floor.



We'll lease the other exhibition space to related interests.


This could be institutional partners or commercial interests.



Three floors of office space explains itself.


I'm hoping to host weed cafes where it's legal.



-



There's several films that are moving towards fruition.



Seveneves is probably the farthest along.


Baby Face has a full draft by Taylor.


I'm pitching a few things.



WingNut's Beatles films are mired in negotiations.


Olivia and Yoko took a hard line on labour laws.



David Attenborough is dreaming up a documentary on evolution.


He's seen some new science that throws old theories in doubt.



Rejecting the Out Of Africa hypothesis is the main theme.



-



Taylor's in charge of the music side of the biz.



She'll be talking to people about their plans.



-



As for top secret stuff:



The current method is alright, but buggy.


I'm getting lots of impersonators (if you catch my drift).

They say that they steal people's blood to hook into the non-verbal synchrony.


It's easier to deal with people in the open.

CBD = Central Business District. It's a common term in New Zealand. - Re: blood magic Don't ask me how it works... Michelle's blood meant that her boyfriend seemed like her. I'm just the one who wrote an essay on it, not the person who invented it. Black magic is a hobby of mine, but this is cryptofacist magic.

Maybe that's why Buffy was such a hit?
