JVLIVS CAESAR 1950

Jun 11, 2010 00:21

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 ( Read more... )

jove . . . they actually did treacherous!Pindarus here?

Sorry, I'll wait for the real post >_<. But evidently I really, REALLY need to get a hold of this movie somehow . . . just reading your comments, ROFL ;P.

YES. I wanted to punch him. :(

It's not an easy task...! I do plan on uploading it to rapidshare (just for unkindeslash) or to youtube (for... the world). My first priority, however, is going to be watching/burning another version of JC which I checked out of the library today and is due back in a week. Ff. >_<

But this version has the most excellently depressed Casca. And creepy!Soothsayer, and really obvious symbolism. And CINNA GETS MAULED. YOU CAN SEE HIS HAND SCRABBLING ON THE GROUND AND THEN HE RUNS INTO A CORNER AND THE MOB FOLLOWS HIM AND A;SKLFJAFLJKFHD; it was very traumatizing. ;_; Hm. What else? Brutus looks like Sam from LotR. Oh and the most EPICALLY TENSE "GOOD NIGHT"S EVER. For reals.

Wait, you're saying Heston actually acts in this? Colour me astounded. All the same, I find the thought of thong!Heston deeply disturbing...

Brb, loling forever at your notes. XD Can't wait for the actual post.

YES. And he's... he's quite good. *hides*

Oh god. It's just. I don't even know. From the back, he could be wearing a belt (and nothing else).

Okay, so I just ordered the movie from Amazon. I can't believe I've never seen it!

P. S.

Your notes are hilarious

Me neither! XD

But... To be honest, I am relishing in having seen more JCs than anyone. ;)

PS. Thank you! (I try.)
