I don't know if Mike was around on the list the last time the SR movie
thread came up (as always, it got started as "Who would you like to see
play what parts in an SR movie?") but as I recall some pretty good reasons
were given why an SR movie would *not* be a good idea for people who like
the game... Just look at the way Johnny Mnemonic got turned into a movie,
and Gibson was closely involved with that! (For the record, I still
haven't seen JM, but the bits I /have/ seen, have still not changed my
mind about not wanting to see it.)
