Love cheese? Cecil B. DeMille's "Ten Commandments" is on ABC now!

[shereads]

Hurry to your sets, U.S. TV viewers and anyone with satellite reception and a love of American cheese! This is the one. Charlton Heston's greatest scenery-chewing film role PLUS the greatest come-on line you'll never read in the Old Testament:

"Oh, Moses, Moses...You marvelous, impetuous fool."

Lots of slave girls in mini-togas, and acting galore!

I love the ten commandments, but CH was at his finest in El Cid, IMHO.

Still, Can't miss this

Oh! Edward G. Robinson!

"Where's your Moses now, see?"

We should be thankful, then. Disorganized crime is so messy.

How did I forget Edward G. Robinson as Gangland Chicago's own Ramses the Great?

Lots of oily posturing by Yul Brenner, too. In fact, this is one of the best movies for heavily-oiled male torsos. Along with the slave girls' mini-togas, the greased slave-boy abs help express the Bible's majesty and the power of good over evil, plus it's so...sweaty!

Cheese is right. It's the first thing my 15YO son said when he saw the special FX.

"Aaron, stretch out my staff upon the water."

-- Moses to greased-torso slave lad

Thank you SO much...this movie was NEVER supposed to get me excited THAT way! Oh, man, I'm blushing...!

"Behold his mighty hand!"

 

[KarenAM]

Oh, God of Moses! Oh, yes! Behold your mighty hand! Oh, God, yes! Free me from Egypt! YES! YES! OH GOD OH GOD YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!

[shereads]

"I bring you these fifteen"

CRASH!

"ten, ten Commandments!"

Oh, wait, wrong movie.

Oops.

You know, it's not even a cheesy movie. It's more of a pastueurized processed cheese food movie. Kraft Individually Wrapped Slices, the extreme yellow kind that leaves an oily film on the plastic.

Does anybody have a wedge of Stilton and a Granny Smith apple? Yum.

You're a few decades late for the casting couch. Good work, though. I'll bet Mr. DeMille would have let you play Third Slave Girl From Left (pink toga, silver arm band.)

I wish I did. If I only had to worry about myself, that'd be perfect for supper. However, I have to contend with my son who doesn't like Stilton and my husband who'd be going "Where's the meat?" No, I'm being unfair. I've served him Stilchester and apples and he liked them. However, he still would have wanted to supplement them with something else.

Speaking of stuff that was on TV, I almost PM'd Tatelou--I thought one of her AVs looked like a young Bonnie Raitt and she didn't know who Bonnie Raitt was (something she should amend) and Ovation featured Bonnie Raitt earlier this evening--along with Jackson Browne and Bryan Adams and Sting and I forget who all else. I also alluded to Bonnie Raitt in my first story (Carnival).

Imagine having to put THAT on your headshot/resume!

My favourite cheesy Easter movie is Jesus Christ Superstar.

Oh so you are The Christ?
Yes, the great Jesus Christ?
Prove to me that you're no fool,
walk across my swimming pool.

That sounds like the dark side of my husband, who however, actually is regarded as one of the more erudite Bible scholars among the laity in our church. But he and the kid like that movie.
