Title: I bought "The Ten Commandments" this year.
Post by: Mr Mannn on April 09, 2009, 08:03:26 PM: I really hate how its chopped up with massive commercials inserted every year.
So I bought the movie, and I'm gonna watch in one marathon session this Sunday.
I'm all set, Pepsi. Popcorn. Hungryman TV dinner (more than a POUND of food!). cookies. and chips. (and iced tea)

You all is gonna be hating it, cause I'm in a leather rocker recliner, with remote and you're all slaves to the network commercials.

Still, if you will be watching the great Mr Heston with me this Sunday, hoist a cold one :cheersmate: and rejoice in the simple pleasures with me.

Over a period of time she tried to raise my culture a little by taking me, at her expense, to good/great movies and shows that she thought I should see. Some of the movies during that spend of time were, "Ben Hur", a re-release of "Gone With the Wind", "Dr. Zhivago"(?) and "The Sound of Music". They weren't all 'heavy' movies, she also took me to see a few light ones, of which I remember were, "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" and "The Great Race". ......and my first James Bond movie......oh! the opening credits were the best part, the naked girls swimming in silhouette in the red water..... :-)

It's a great film, but the Book is better.

Post by: Chris on April 12, 2009, 05:23:53 PM: I watched most of the film yesterday. Even with the commercial breaks, it is still an amazing movie. I did get a chuckle out of Yul Brynner's giant blue chariot hat. And Anne Baxter's Nefretiri is still hawt.
