TCM has totally let me down. Every Easter Sunday they show cheesy biblical movies all day. David and Bathsheba starring Gregory Peck, Samson and Delilah starring Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr, and my personal favorite, Sodom and Gomorrah starring Stewart Granger and his hair. What would Easter be without Granger's pompadour doing battle with the forces of depravity?
But this year TCM blew it. They're only showing two biblical movies: King of Kings and The Greatest Story Ever Told. Boring! They could have at least given us Ben Hur. I could go for a good chariot race. Plus that scene at the very beginning where Ben Hur and Masala are clearly ex-lovers, except Heston didn't know it, cracks me up every time.
Oh well, guess I'll get some work done on my car instead.
