I hereby nominate BEN-HUR for the Biblical Epic Season 2014 movie par-tay.

BTW, Ben, I don't know how much you're into music, but Louisville has a great legacy in its orchestra and I'm looking forward to catching one of the, ahem, digital showings of: http://www.filmlinc.com/films/series/music-makes-a-city-a-louisville-orchestra-story

I can understand if you think it's not worth your effort, but I think you two should consider some letter writing -- to the local papers, Cinemark, both local and corporate, and the studio -- about this utter "FAIL" and total lack of competence in showing one film. There still needs to be...

Wait. The theater personnel didn't notice that Part 2 was really Part 1 until the townspeople had carried their torches and beaten down the door for 30 minutes?

Thank you, Pete. I'll clean that up and add it to the theater's page on CT.org.

There's nothing like finding buried treasure you didn't know you had. Today I opened the LP box set of the "Ben-Hur" soundtrack (which I'd never bought back in the day but acquired years later at a yard sale or secondhand record store), just to compare the contents of the souvenir book with the...

Scrolling down and seeing this thread resulted in a nice double-take as I realized it wasn't one of those tired old Ben-Hur threads but a nice shiny new "A few words about..." Ben-Hur thread. Then I held my breath as I started reading. Whew. Yay!!!!!
