I went to Best Buy to see if I could find the second Bourne movie. I was denied but then they decided to offer up something even better: Warriors, a 50 movie DVD set of exciting films from the 50s and 60s. It includes such wonders as Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules, Cleopatra's Daughter, Fury of Achilles, Devil of the Desert Against the Son of Hercules... The list of wonders never really stops with 50 movies of this sort.
I MAY NEVER LEAVE MY HOUSE AGAIN.
If I were you I'd defriend me now and save yourself the inevitable posts about preciselywhen Cleopatra had time to have a daughter and* what Roger Moore is doing in a tunic and sandals. The Spring Waltz subtitling crisis will be as nothing to compared to this.
Oh, and I got the second season of Rome (they have it for $60 if you're thinking about getting it) but that is a trifling thing compared to the glories that await me with my 50 movies of completely inauthentic and cheaply filmed classical action.
* Let's pretend I never forgot about Cleopatra's daughter, shall we? I plan on denying it if anyone ever brings it up.

And I always loved The Story of Ruth, which I don't think anyone else has ever seen, just for the scene at the beginning when Ruth was about to be sacrificed. That part was cool. Really, though, once Ruth left Moab, the movie went downhill for me. That probably explains a lot about my lack of religion now.

Date: 2007-08-16 03:46 pm (UTC)Now I have an urge to rewatch the movie called The prodigal where they took the simple story from the Bible and made it into a two hour movie with Lana Turner as an evil but hot priestess. Gyrating.
Also, Samson and Delilah with evil midgets.
