I know I do have several posts & such to reply to, which I will get around to this weekend - in the meanwhile, have some crack.
So I got the 1950 Caesar, on DVD from Amazon because you can't find it ANYWORR online. The first one with Heston in it, before he got all old and groty. I took notes on it while I was watching, and being too lazy (right now) to write an actual post, I am typing those up, pretty much verbatim. Colors and text sizes are accurate. If you have ever wondered what random crap flies through my head as I am watching a movie - now is your chance to find out! (If you can actually understand what I am talking about, I applaud you.)
PS. Has anyone else actually seen this version of Caesar? I've never heard anyone talk about it.
