New "Ten Commandments"

[Ipecac]

ABC is producing a new "Ten Commandments" movie. Okay, fine. Whatever. But these quotes from the producer are so stupid I nearly injured myself shaking my head.

I felt that (the Ten Commandments) is the first written document of law, morality and order for the human race, and we completely ignore it," said Halmi, whose myriad credits include "Legend of Earthsea," "Dinotopia" and "The 10th Kingdom."

"I think it's time for the younger generation to revisit this biblical tale as they must realize the importance and consequences of the Ten Commandments."

Learn some history, you idiot!

I'm really glad he's working on this. There is entirely too much coveting these days.

"I'm not a preacher, so hopefully combining entertainment with certain morality, which I always do, and using great special effects will make people pay attention and read the Ten Commandments."

Like how moral God was to murder the first borns?

Another "Ten Commandments" miniseries is in the works at the FX cable channel, but the 10-hour project, executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, is a contemporary take on the ancient rules and is set in modern America.

I hope they do it in the style of Nip/Tuck.....the Pharaoh's daughter is a man, baby!

If it ain't got Heston as Moses, I'm not watching.

I wonder which set they will showcase?
Deu 5:6

Exod 34:12

or

Exod 20?

I wonder which translation?

What is a Universe without order? Isn't this in effect all the ten commandments are, an attempt to introduce order into the lives of us humans?

1. What is a Universe without order?

2. Isn't this in effect all the ten commandments are, an attempt to introduce order into the lives of us humans?

Usually I don't rise to the bait, but this is such a chewy morsel of nuggaty goodness that I'm like a wide mouth bass on a blood lure.

1. The Universe is ordered? I'll take mine with a side of ranch dressing and a Diet Coke.

2. And here I thought the 10C's were an attempt for priests and leaders of the time to *enforce* order on their little corner of the world. Can't have the peasants revolting, can we?

Diet Coke is not good for you man. It turns into formaldehyde in your stomach.

You can't have a society without rules. It's as simple as that.

Yeah, I know on the diet soda bit. They literally make me throw up. Diet pop is like kryptonite to The GM.

You could have a society without rules, me thinks. The resultant reality could be quite unpleasant, though...
