ferrell.jpgRemember that Hollywood vs. Silicon Valley culture-clash/cage-match? It's still on! The NY Times weighs in with a pretty good installment in the series of enlightened capitalists (Valley) versus bare-knuckle dealmakers (Hollywood).

'They talked about the transaction - What am I getting paid today?' ' he said of Mr. Ferrell and his agents. 'The big thing with Funny or Die was we said, Let's build a company. We are not just going to write you a check.' '

In the end, Ferrell took equity. Right move?
