I'm back from semi-retirement!
And why? Because of this awful (!?) news from The Hollywood Reporter:
Head for the hillllz! Who's gonna' be cast as Minmay!? Is it going to be Jessica Biel!? Or the obligatory Asian Kristen Kruek since she's on "Smallville"? Either way, I love crap (I watch those terrible Sci Fi original movies like "Minotaur") so I'll definitely be watching out for this crap!Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have been drafted to pen "Robotech," Warner Bros.' adaptation of the anime classic.Big-screen 'Robotech' lands scribes
Alfred Gough, Miles Millar to pen adaptation

Akiva Goldsman and Chuck Roven are producing with Tobey Maguire and Drew Crevello.
"Robotech" was a 1980s cartoon series from Harmony Gold USA and Tatsunoko Prods. It was re-edited and re-dialogued to combine three Japanese anime series to give the producers enough episodes to air as a daily syndicated series.
A sprawling sci-fi epic, "Robotech" takes place at a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific isle. Mankind is forced to use the technology to fend off an alien invasion, with the fate of the human race ending up in the hands of two young pilots.
Lawrence Kasdan wrote a previous draft. Warners is intent on keeping the project moving forward, and Gough and Millar bring action and geek cred to the table. The WMA-repped duo worked on "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and "Spider-Man 2," among other films, and were showrunners on TV's "Smallville" for many years.
Frank Agrama of rights-holder Harmony Gold is executive producing "Robotech," as is Jason Netter.
Wahahah.
Oh, and retirement = I had a baby. Yay me.
Don't worry "Call of Duty: World at War" and "Left 4 Dead". Mama hasn't forgotten you. Oh no. I just have to teach my little girl to use a mouse and we'll have another gamer girl!
