Back in those days there was a company that wanted to do a SubGenius
"Cd-Rom Video Game." Reactor, or Reaktor, that was the name of the
company. I didn't follow up on it because the whole concept, as the
principals envisioned it, struck me as unspeakably sleazy. I mean,
sleazier than we already were, and by a long shot... but not in a
FUNNY sleazy way, just a rip-off sleazy way. My instincts must have
been right because that company had utterly vanished in a flurry of
lawsuits within a year or two. Their claim to fame was "the first
virtual Playmate" -- Virtual Valerie. You could use your mouse to
insert a little MacPaint dildo into her MacPaint vagina and she would
go "Oh. Yeah. Baby." And her MacPaint hips would move back and forth.
If you moved the dildo fast, she'd show her MacPaint tits. All in
gorgeous bitmap black and white. They were going to give us $5,000 for
rights to everything SubGenius, for perpetuity. My agent and I were a
bit baffled when we got that offer because it had no relation
whatsoever to what had been discussed.
We had a similar offer for an option on a SubGenius feature film back
then too (middle 1990s) but that offer was for only $2,000. The guy
making the offer went on to make documentaries about how crop circles
are created by wise, incredibly advanced aliens from outer space
striving to usher in a New Galactic Aeon by using cute celtic designs
made with flattened grain stalks on rural English farms.* That's
another one I don't feel too bad about turning down.
We get all kinds here.
* And yet this same New Age movie director had never heard of The
Fantastic Four. When he said that was when I knew he was not right for
a SubGenius movie.
