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.

    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...
