There are two versions of The Ten Commandments?


No, it just looks like that because each tablet has only 5 commandments each.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Both directed by Cecil B. DeMille (1923 and 1956 as Oex said).  The first one is a little different than the more famous Yul Brynner/Charleton Heston in that only the first half of the movie is the story of the Exodus (ending where Moses breaks the tablets on the Golden Calf.)  The film then dissolves into (then) present day and tells the story of two brothers and their relationship with the ten commandments.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

For anyone watched Narcos or who has watched it, did they fuck up the continuity with the offspring?  I thought in the maternity scene the wife said a beautiful baby girl.  Then later they have a fat son running around.

Heh - Ravenous is on Disney's Star :D

Highly recommended if you like the 1840s American frontier soldiering, drama, comedy, beautiful winter mountains, and don't mind gratuitous violence. And cannibalism. :D

The American Pie series is almost unwatchable nowadays (if you considered it watchable in the past  :P ).

I love John Hughes films but know to avoid them to stop sullying the memory :lol: :ph34r:

Now I just re-watch Easy A which is, in part, about loving John Hughes films.

I don't see the problem with either Superbad or American Pie.  In neither are they celebrating involuntary hookups.

So Disney + has a new Mighty Ducks tv show sequel, starring Emilio Estevez and the mom from Gilmour Girls.

So our family with three grade schoolers who play hockey is the ground zero of demographics they're aiming for, and they have succeeded. Enjoyable kids show so far.

Coming 2 America

Essentially appears to have been made solely as an excuse to reunite pretty much the entire cast of the original, and feels far more like a reunion vehicle than a real movie...as the plot only barely serves to make said vehicle run.

Great?  Heck no.

Good enough?  I think so...I found it fun and amusing in just the right nostalgic way. 

Eddie Murphy is in his classic, and best form...and I think expertly lampoons the now-outdated aspects of the original's 90's humor.
