Hey DCL

What do the following have in common?

The American West. The Battle of Waterloo, The Fall of the Roman Empire, The Queen of Egypt, The Founder of Islam, The Bible, and Captain Bligh's Ship all have in common?

 

[Whizz Kid]

Absolutely nothing?

 

[brokenbrainwave]

I am not DCL, but they all can be found mentioned in a 7th grade World History book.

 

[Whizz Kid]

Oh, sorry. I'm not DCL.

 

[RosevilleCAguy]

Actually, anybody can answer it. I directed it to DCL cause he is the resident hollywood guru.

Elizabeth Taylor was present for all of them.

She looks decent for a biblical chick but she's had work done.

You are correct about them all being made into movies, but what was it in particular about the movies?

And Liz wasn't in "Mutiny on the Bounty"

 

[Whizz Kid]

Charlie Heston?

Brandon Marlo?

What do the following have in common?

Charles Laughton.

 

[Problem Child]

Charles Laughton wrote the bible?

I must have missed that one in sunday school.

 

[RosevilleCAguy]

Sorry. I was distracted by a fascinating thread detailing India's contribution to mass transit.

Nope.


How about the movies made on those topics were some of the biggest money losers in Hollywood history?

 

[Guest]

Whoosh.

 

[Problem Child]

I'm not sure about the others, but there have been a shitload of movies about the American West, and I doubt if most of them lost money.

Not to mention how many movies have been made about the Bible.

 

[RosevilleCAguy]

How about "Heavens Gate" and "The Greatest Story Ever Told"
respectively.

Besides, if I'd given you the names outright, you would have figured it out in two seconds and I would no longer number myself among the witty.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Yeah, it was too ambiguous and wide open to really get that. (And did "Mutiny on the Bounty", any of the versions, really lose money?)

The version made in 1962 lost $10.2 million.
