Ten things I hate about Commandments
If you're anything like me (and seeing as you're taking the time to read my site, I'm gonna assume you have a passing resemblance), you enjoy the works of Charlton Heston.
Not his newer stuff. The whole NRA thing is a tad overboard, even for such a resolutely overblown character as Heston. But his older catalogue of works... now that's quality.
You doubtless travelled with him to the stars, and encountered a planet filled with apes. You likely pondered the content of Soylent Green (hint: it isn't not people). You likely felt sympathy for his somehow Mexican character in Touch of Evil (worst / most hilarious portrayal of a minority group ever)
But perhaps his finest works was the lengthily-awesome Ten Commandments. Nowhere else in cinema... possibly excluding Heston's equally awesome Ben Hur, is dialogue so stretched, yet delivered with such undeniable aplomb.
Yet Commandments has lamentably fallen out of favour with today's youth. I for one blame the rap music and the condoms. What it needs then, is a new presentation, a re-selling of the old classic. A "Remix to Commandments", if you will.
Fortunately, someone has done just that, to utterly hilarious results. Enjoy:
