i have no brain so i must post

This guy's so full of himself that he honestly counts an interview as "working for nothing"? What a self-important retard.

harlan is so full of win - a genius and a hilarious motherfucker to boot!

Sharp as a razor, and he's always been so.

Awesomeness

I hope he was paid for this! Or he's gonna get ya Debbi

God Bless You.

Hahaha!!!

Awesome vid. Righteous indignation perfectly articulated. Thanks for posting.

It seems that Ellison would agree with Dr. Johnson's dictum that anyone who would write for other than monetary gain is a Blockhead. Outside "The Business", there needs to be a middle ground between not being robbed, and not doing something for love or some reason other than gain. This is, however, outside Mr. Ellison's problem. He's in Hollywood, and it's Hell for writers. It reminds me of the cartoon "Twice Upon A Time", when Director Botch says of Scuzzbopper, "Him? He's Nobody...a WRITER..."
