Rubes by Leigh Rubin for August 03, 2024

Because everyone complains how the book is always better than the movie.

Didn’t like Charlton Heston?

Thanks for the tip! I’ll watch it on my tablet.

Is the pillar with the ticket window really meant to be load bearing?

The bible is full of stupid stories.

And they added a lot of stuff that was not in the scrolls.

I was at a book signing by Charlton Heston once, and even then decades later he had that deep rich Moses voice.

How ironic that the movie version of the Ten Commandments is in some ways closer to the original than the commonly propagated version.

Example: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.

The mandated Louisiana version does not contain the bolded part.

This is where the State of Louisiana got the ten commandment they’re requiring in every classroom.
