[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I can't even.

And so, that's the premise of Moon, as brought to you by the Hollywood Machine.

You might want to consider doing this for grocery money, Allyson, because that movie would so get made. Also, people would go (see AAP post above). Your synopsis is more entertaining than Heinlein's book by a factor of a lot.

If Jennifer Connolly isn't available, I hear Helen Hunt loves the white T-shirt getting sprayed roles, so if she isn't too old, call her.

Thanks Cranberry. It's nice to know we can always count on you for WF updates! I'm a tad anxious, as I wasn't even able to see all the eps that aired. I finally gave up on trying to find additional eps, and am just trying to keep myself spoiler free for the DVDs. Hey, it worked for me for Firefly!

I agree. I hardly recognized your Moon, Allyson, and I just read the book. Sounds perfect for Hollywood.

Surely Tim will spice it up with interesting dialog and character development. Please. Hint, hint, Tim.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And by "development" you mean "murder."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think Tim's version will actually be, you know, good. Whereas mine is, you know, sleazy.

Although Heinlen seemed to appreciate sleazy, mastabatory, inane crap.

Allyson, you didn't tell us who is going to play Kit, er, I mean Data, er, the magical self-aware computer.

So, Allyson, are you comparing yourself to Heinlein? You're too hard on yourself. You have sleazy, interesting, crap (and I mean this in the best possible way). Heinlein's is just sleazy crap.

Jeez. One of the founding fathers of science fiction, and his work seems to be nearly universally disliked, at least by the smart and creative folks here.

edited to clarify who is being compared to whom, because otherwise this post makes no sense.

Tim "Get her words out" Minear will be the voice of Mike.

Or Stephen Hawking.
