Bring the Hebrew In!!!

This will and forever take the true cinematic cake!!


In most likely the greatest example of miscasting in film history, tough guy Edward G. "Little Ceasar" Robinson plays Dathan, as slimy as ever could be. "Where ish yoor God now, eh Moses?" Didn't know smack talking, slick dealing brooklynites came from ancient egypt.

Heston's blow dried hair, Baxter's 5th avenue make up, Yul Bryner is a mini skirt.....oh man!

Oh, the red sea opening like a Disney animated sequence!! Fuck Me!!!!!

I think one needs to consider the standards in film making of 60 years ago compared to today. This was a huuugely popular film by one of the most acclaimed directors with audiences and I suspect with critics as well. Just about any movie of that era could be picked apart if held up to today's standards.

This movie was and still is a true classic.

Cecil B. De Mille's Cheese fest, drag queen, blood eyed, bondoogled feast of outrageous depravity "The 10 Commandments" made in 1956.

William Wyler's bona fide, religious epic "Ben Hur" made in 1959 winning 10 Oscars and giving us the greatest action sequence in film history.

The time had nothing to with it Shack, my esteemed colleague.

De Mille and Wyler both knew what they were doing and who they were making it for.

Hey, just going to post my posts from before in here, some mamebers on this site may not have seen them.

I watched one a long time ago and I think its name was the Invasion of the Giant Spiders.
The plot is just about a giant spider invasion and they wrap and kill people with the worst acting and special effects I have ever seen. the close ups looked like toque balls with 8 pipe cleaners for legs and the far away shots you could see the wheels under the spiders belly with peoples legs sticking out walking the spider along and the legs were jut big tubes sticking out the sides waving around.

Another bad one was My Bloody Valentine, a 70s? Canadian film about a mine where some guy had killed his co-workers. So the mine got shut down and 20 years later some kids who go down in the mine overnight to celebrate Valentines Day get killed by this guy Harry Morden who has been living in the mine all these years.
Of course they get killed in various ridiculous ways using mining equipment(that is still there and still is fully functional).
Even after discovering their friends mutilated bodies and a heart boiling in the kitchen in a big pot on the stove (never knew mines had kitchens with full gas stoves underground). some of them even stop while trying to escape, to of course have sex, but get killed as well.
Terrible plot, terrible acting, bad lighting, it had it all.

This one movie might interest you as well, I watched it all the way through with my nephew, he loved it, I still don't know what the point of the movie was.
It's the Roller Blade Seven, something to do with roller skating ninja samurai type guys who are on some kind of mission.
The best parts of the movie are in the trailer.

Got thinking about that roller blade movie and some of the well known b grade actors of the time and noticed there is actually a sequel to this movie called "The Return of the Roller Blade Seven"
Sequels aren't known to be better than the original so this one should really suck,LOL.

There was a Tom Cruise move back in the 80's where he was some kind of forest creature with a bunch of other creatures that were trying to save unicorns.
That's about all I remember about it other than it was bad acting, poorly written and seemed to drag on forever, I think it was called Legend.
I think this was the trailer.

I was going through Tubi last night and noticed these movies and wondered if they are as bad as the titles and descriptions.
Attack of the Mushroom People- shipwreck survivors slowly turn into mushrooms.
Gun Woman- A woman must find a man and kill him with the gun parts surgically implanted in her body before she bleeds to death.
Has anyone seen them?
I picked Fortress- reminded me of a video game I had on PC called B17 Flying Fortress, same cockpit voices, same CGI and the actors seemed to move like the ones in the game. Plot drug on as a replacement pilot tried to blend with a new crew, more CGI action than acting in this film.
