harlan ellison is suing to stop the movie from releasing.

this guy is just a jerk..

QuoteEllison says the new film is based on his multiple prize-winning 1965 work, "Repent, Harlequin! Said The Ticktockman" which the complaint calls one of the most famous and widely published science fiction short stories of all time.

this is the first time i've ever come across that title, and it is the worst title i've ever heard. dude needs to shut the hell up.

it appears he has a habit of going crazy for no reason.

Ellison is the godfather of trolls.  His primary talent being prolificacy, he's made a very profitable second career out of claiming every idea originated with him.  And he knows that filing a suit a month before the release date means it's more likely the studio will just pay a settlement rather than risk an injunction.  Basically, fuck Harlan Ellison.

He's a source of entertainment for me.  He's written some decent stuff, but he's also crazy and it's always really funny.
Listen to his commentary on some of the 1980s Twilight Zone episodes, he's so fucking proud of himself for creating something so forgettable.

I want to see this film but I just can't get over  the fact Justin Timberlake  is in this film. I know it's petty but I grew up listening to pop music in high school and I hated it. :(
