It's in my hands,i bought it. It is one beautiful sight to behold. For now,i have 2 other nights of work,then i will be able to go through the entire thing. I feel this will require a detailed critique like i did in the How the west was won thread,complete with anecdotes,commentary and a fair...

And if i say i've WALKED all the way here from MONTREAL,are you really gonna turn me down ? :D although, i might not make it by tonight.

Well,again,i believe im the only guy from Quebec here and i just saw it at the Best buy Store. Box set is a measly 39 dollars.In BLURAY !!! For once i think the box set warrants the price,most of the time as in Ten commandments,i felt the extras included werent really worth buying the box set...

Very good Chas, You could probably get a job at Christies. Although you could add a microscopic rip in the lower left corner and a partial fingerprint in the vicinity of the title.:D

Thank god the Wayne world's clip is on Youtube. Heston's voice is pure gold in this. the good part starts around the 1 minute mark. Like Mike Myers,it"s ok to shed a tear.

Guess i don't need to type all the Heston stuff anymore. Included in the Bluray. Charlton Heston: The Ben-Hur Diaries. One of the most fascinating non-disc extras ever included in an Ultimate Collector's Edition, this 128 hardcover book is a replica of the journal Heston kept during and after...

Ok,fellas,i've had just about enough of your goofy antics,innuendos and apocrypha. Because,next time i watch Ben-Hur on BD,i'll get the sudden urge to put on my own soundtrack which will be a loop of Bryan Ferry's Slave to love... :D

there are 2 pages of statistics and trivia in my 80 DAYS book. It says 13 cameras were used including 9 Todd-AO's

I looked through my Random house book to see if it had any good pics of the 2 cameras,but nope.

July 7,1958 -Again i had not a word to say all day but spent most of it roaring past Steve's bloody,twitching form on the sand and then turning to go back for my victory wreath while he's carried limply off.This will play much better in Fry's vastly improved script which i read yesterday,weeping...

May 9,1958 -I got a commitment from Willy to rehearse next week on some of the Messala-Ben-Hur scenes.Sam is against this.I think the idea of the script being changed at all upsets him. May 15,1958 -Today we rehearsed Vidal's rewrite of the crucial scene with Messala.Indeed the crucial...

first the most important part. :jawdrop: You sir,have written a book on Robert Bolt ? Words fail me, i am at a loss to find a suitable panegyric for your tremendous work. As a screenwriter,i have for quite some time now regarded the Robert Bolt screenplay of Lawrence to be the ultimate...

Adrian, some of the entries i will be writing in the next week or so,should put all your doubts to rest.

So my entries of Charlton Heston's journal will consist of the date,the year and only the snippet about Ben-Hur contained within each entry. Here goes, January 15,1958 -As for Ben-Hur,there is nothing approaching a final word on it.Willi is proving the champion decision-avoider of the...

That is something i didn't know about Big country.Having a pacifist thread and all. I've been wanting to see it for a while now.It just looks like the kind of film that would appeal to me. Having Jean Simmons AND Carroll Baker in the same film also helps quite a bit. And right before submitting...

Sure thing, I'm actually finishing my night shift at IBM,then i'm off for three days so after a couple of hours of sleep,tonight i'll get on it. I was trying to find a Conan sketch he did a while back about people watching epic widescreen movies all over NY,but on tiny 7-inch screens and of...

If you fellas are up for it,i could jolt down a few of Charlton Heston's journal entries during the making of Ben-Hur. I bought that book twice,first one i had was in bad shape so... The entries are all enthralling to read,he wrote a little something almost every day from 1956 to 1976. Touch of...
