Re: One could only hope.
Posted By: MattDate: 8/16/06 8:50 a.m.

In Response To: One could only hope. (Narcogen)

I will cut my planned response short, as I would hate to bore Mig. I'll just say that if you haven't seen any dire pronouncements on a website that set up a database to catalog all the ways a Halo movie could go horribly wrong, you're not looking hard enough. :-)

Truth is, Narc, responding to your post point-by-point would take time away from my preferred pastime of late: reading the publisher's galleys of the new Halo novel by Danielle Steel, A Natural Formation. I've never read a romance novel before and I wasn't expecting much, but this is a real page turner and - dare I say it? - hot. Like Cortana herself, I find myself torn between the rugged, reliable Chief and the bad-boy antics of Gravemind. Who will she choose? I never thought I'd pick Gravemind, but that scene where he's picnicking with Cortana in the Scottish countryside and he recites that sweet love poem got me all misty. And then they teleport away (presumably to Gravemind's intergalactic love nest) *SPOILER* right before the Covenant glass the planet...talk about suspense! *END SPOILER* Truly a must-read. Look for it.

In other news, I was in the studio with Mike Salvatori yesterday, which means I'm fully stocked up on secrets, trivia, and funny Marty stories. Here's a bit of trivia for anyone who can use it: "The Siege of Madrigal" was originally referred to as "The Dead Cat Song." I dare Mig to be bored by that!

Mike mentioned that his upcoming appearance at the Hollywood Bowl would be his last for a while; after that, he will retreat to his castle atop Mount Salvatori in Italy to write Halo 3 music by the light of the moon. So if anyone else wants their iPod autographed, you'll want to get to Hollywood in September.
