Twentieth Century Fox has acquired the film rights to classic sci-fi novel “The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress” and Bryan Singer has come on board to direct the adaptation to be titled “Uprising,” an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Nice to see that they’re not going to waste any time in turning the script into a flaming pile of cowsh*t. Very efficient of them. Very, very efficient.

I always hunger for Heinlein stories and I know them well enough to mock individual lines that don’t follow the books.

Oh Dear Shub-Niggurath, this is one of my favorite Heinlein novels. I still haven’t recovered from the trauma of “Starship Troopers.” Why are they doing this to me?
Because they hate you, and hate Heinlein.
but they love Big Government with lasers and such.
I *knew* I wasn’t paranoid…
I refer you to my recent comment regarding the Hollywood option on a classic Heinlein novel:
