Finally, I decided to give in and just DVR the whole thing so I can watch it and fast-forward the commercials.<br /><br />I think the visual effects in that film were still pretty good as primitive as it was. Yet, I'll take that over the computer effects of today.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-35639454431624073712012-04-11T19:00:49.315-07:002012-04-11T19:00:49.315-07:00This film used to be on every Easter (and for all ...This film used to be on every Easter (and for all I know it still is.) About 10 years ago I finally gave in to my curiosity and sat down to watch the broadcast. Four hours later it was still going strong with no signs of stopping and I was starting to regret it. (Lots of commercials got added to the broadcast.) I stuck with it so that I could see it to the end.<br /><br />I have to say that the parting of the Red Sea was still spectacular. Even ten years ago it could have easily been done on a computer, so knowing they did the effect back in the 50s was impressive.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-76811943552145604102012-04-09T20:32:12.571-07:002012-04-09T20:32:12.571-07:00I decided to watch the whole thing yesterday as I ...I decided to watch the whole thing yesterday as I was watching <i>The Last Temptation of Christ</i> on Saturday. Plus, I figured it was the right time to see since it was Easter weekend.<br /><br />You can't make this film right now. There's too many people who are too PC to have this film made and who in the hell will play Moses right now? Charlton Heston fuckin' owned that role.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-84600512170788224592012-04-09T17:37:11.262-07:002012-04-09T17:37:11.262-07:00I found myself watching this film again over the w...I found myself watching this film again over the weekend. I find the older I get the more I appreciate what they achieved in making this film. It is almost impossible to have such and epic film, especially at the length which the film is, made today.<br /><br />Heston is an absolute beast in the film. He really takes command of ever scene he is in.Courtney Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045575858464121137noreply@blogger.com
