: Hunh? I don't see MS as the villain of this piece, particularly given the

: Predator turd-in-punchbowl flick if MS hadn't kept tight hold of creative

: Then again, I share their distrust of how movie studios work given the antics
: I've read about in the industry's history.
: -- Steve hates the Hollywood production system; it's so inefficient and
: wasteful.
I didn't look at it in that perspective. After reading yours and TD's posts, I agree. A Halo movie definitely needs to be carefully made, and I feel that either Bungie or 343i should be apart of the process moreso than what would normally be acceptable in Hollywood. Microsoft did what they should've done.
I was looking at the article like, "Oh, so I could've had a Halo movie if Microsoft wasn't so greedy. Great."
