The absolute worst part of the whole conference is Steven Spielberg's involvement in the Halo TV show. I fear he will dumb it down and ruin it. Ruin it bad he will. Terra Nova - I wanted to like that show cause it had some good actors And dinosaurs, but even that couldn't save it. Seriously, Steven – create your own show!

The Halo service 'Forward Unto Dawn' team was great! They should be doing the show - smart, slick, good acting, and very talented. But no, some guy who used to make good movies runs in and takes over. So very sad about that I am.

No, this is terrible, terrible news.

(And I did like Boom Blox, but Steven, make your own series - don't steal a good one and ruin it.)

343, especially Frank O Conner is very strict in how they want Halo story to be depicted. Have faith :)

Thanks man! I'm trying!  I see peole jazzed about it, and wish I could join them.  I really don't think I understand the same world they enhabit.

 I have suffered through ET, Hook, and The Goonies.  They were at times enjoyable, and also aweful - so much cringe.  To be fair, I think JAWS is one of the best crafted movies, ever! His ensemble work, which Halo will probably be, is why I fear it will be dumbed down, sanitized and fail. 

Terra Nova really had that caricature-ish feel of his enable pieces. And it had some talent actors, but they seemed uninteresting, uninterested and derivative. They were more like talking scenery than true characters.

I want to be happy about it, but it seems like Cousin Oliver is coming to Halo in the form of Steven Spielburg. 

I really wish they just had the same group that did 'Forward Unto Dawn.'  They should build on what they have already done.
