Dead Pool [1988]

In an an earlier post I talked about the Microsoft campaign against thought thieves. I finally found out what they must be talking about. They must be channelling Harlan Rook
All those films he made. Those are my nightmares, not his! Every night I dream, and somehow he reads my mind. He stole my thoughts. He put my thoughts on film, and he takes all the credit. He can't get away with it. He has to pay.
