We're home and recovering from the early start yesterday morning (4:15 am) and the long, BORING (at least DS1 thought it was - and told me REPEATEDLY) flights.
We spent one night in the airport hotel so we could catch the 6-whatever am flight from Cincinnati (and BTW, reservations person who couldn't find the Cinci airport hotel: the first shuttle is at 4:30. Not 5. Don't just make stuff up, OK?). We never adjusted to Ohio time completely, so we let the kids wind down for sleep by watching TV - and The Ten Commandments was on ABC. And after 3 hours, it was still only just past the burning bush and we hadn't even gotten to plagues and parting the Red Sea or anything really cool, like, you know, actual commandments. But, there had been dancing girls twice and lots of overacting. I would say that the dancing girls were meant as examples of decadence before Moses found God, but the second group was Jethro's daughters - they were Ishmaelites, apparently, and allegedly worshipped the same god - and M married one of them (the oldest one, who didn't dance for him - he was already feeling holy, having watched her sisters dance, when he went out and proposed to her, though.)
Anyway, lots of, for the lack of a better word, man-titty. Nice legs on the Yul Brenner guy.
It's been a long time since I saw that movie. At almost 4 hours, it's a serious investment of time. And with 10 or 12 or however many it is these days minutes of ads every hour on network TV, I'd have to say epic fail. Get it? Epic? Fail?
