A Moses Pitcher

Plans afoot:
20th Century Fox has made a preemptive acquisition of a pitch to tell the story of Moses in "300" style.
One of the few things my mom ever said that I wished I could have unheard was this, of Charlton Heston: "I just love to see that man sweat!"

...has made a preemptive acquisition...

...doesn't this normally imply that someone else cares?

Fox can outbid gay porn distributors any day of the week, so it's hard to say it's a great achievement.

The sticks-to-snakes trick will gain in metaphorical value.

You know what sticks to snakes???

Nothin...'cause they're scaly, that's why!

Fish is got scales, and fish sticks.

...well, don't let them catch you battering your cod, if you know what I mean.

why are my ears burning?

More exciting than a 300 version of Moses (I KNOW!) is the resurrection of V on my television.

I certainly wish I could unread what Mme. McG. said about Heston.

The trauma of hearing that sort of thing from one's own mother is unimaginable, & probably explains a lot.

She never mentioned Soylent Green, which had a lotta sweat in it...
