When I first saw this story on Machinima's "Inside Gaming" (or was it IGN's "Daily Fix"?), my first thought was "OMFGYAEYMYLIFEHASMEANING!"


...Then they mentioned the bit about the dude who wrote the scripts for "G.I. Joe" would also write the scripts for the MechWarrior movie, that happiness turned to sorrow VERY fast. I haven't seen the "G.I. Joe" movie, but I've heard great reviews...about the SFX, NOT the dialogue or the plot-line.

Add to this the Harmony Gold ruckus, and we have literally a very fragile undertaking, where either move to please one side (BattleTech fans or HG's legal army) risks retaliation from the other.

IF, somehow, the producers for this movie wise up and make SURE they get their facts right the FIRST TIME (and try to be cheeky devils by finding clever ways to circumvent HG's legal roadblocks in the process), I will certainly eat my hat.

I'll even devour my neighbor's hat if the movie actually gets EXCELLENT reviews.
