Puzo -- You Took My Money, and My Cannoli

The guy who wrote "The Godfather" says all his stories went into a big-bucks video game -- and all he came out with was his d*** in his hands.

The estate of Mario Puzo -- repped by the Don of Hollywood lawyers, Bert Fields -- is making Paramount Pictures an offer it might or might not refuse, asking for some of the coin from the "Godfather" video game. They want more than a million bucks, saying it was Puzo that made the game huge.

No word in the lawsuit whether sleeping fish or bodyless horses will be part of the legal defense. Paramount hasn't responded.

^^^^ You morons, Mario Puzo is DEAD.

I guess the "d***" means that he came out of his grave with dust in his hands, eh?

4. I along with counteless others are so fu****g sick of these huge studios and corporations on not giving money where money is due.
There is enough money in projects such as these for all involved, yet these shameful greedy studios ( I am in the business and always make sure that everyone gets their due share on any given project that they are a part of ) and corporations have the audacity to cut people out that were the catalyst for the success of the project to begin with .

Pay up Paramount , what the fu*k is your problem in tyring to cut Puzo out of a measly one million dollars ???
You guys use one million dollars just to wipe your asses , so why so greedy over " chump change "??
Christ . You guys are nothing short of embarrassing .
