I'm one of the people who loved Moon. And I guarantee you it was not for any resonance with Heinlein's politics. I was never in love with Heinlein as a source of "big ideas". His big ideas to me were all either obvious or false, not much in between.

But I loved his world building. And I though he wrote first rate grumpy smart-ass dialog . (And I know there seems to be a consensus that the dialog in Moon sucked. I thought the Russian influenced slang was a good part of the world building - a world in which Russia was a culturally hegemonic power.)

...his work seems to be nearly universally disliked, at least by the smart and creative folks here.

Umm, if you say so...

...his work seems to be nearly universally disliked, at least by the smart and creative folks here.

I think a lot of the people who dislike him have spent a lot of time posting about not liking him. That is not the same as universally disliked.

You know, I was just about to post this sentence: Heh, and when was the last time any artist's work was universally anythinged around here?

And then I realized, someone would probably come up with an example.

I, for one, haven't given up on reading RH. I marked some of the recs upthread.

AICN says that the whole run of Wonderfalls will be playing in Argentina.

The link also mentions which episodes get commentaries, whee!

Huh. No one called me and Kristen to do commentary on Safety Canary. How odd.

It says "Cocktail Bunny" is noirish. How noir is it, on a scale from How the Grinch Stole Christmas to Sunset Boulevard ?

I've not seen either flick. It has many noir elements in the final act, especially.

I've not seen either flick.

I recommend Sunset Boulevard. The other one, not so much.

The other one, not so much.

You're talking the Ron Howard one, right, not the Chuck Jones?
