...no one has tried to make a remake of Ben Hur.
Just happened to notice it is showing at the moment on TV.
Charlton Heston, hamming it up as usual.
I do remember enjoying it first time round.
Who would you choose to play Ben Hur, should there be such a remake?/
I think it has to be a Brit, I am sorry to say, I never thought the
American accent was at all suited to Biblical epics. Remember John Wayne
in The Greatest Story Ever Told.
/quote/
Being a perfectionist, George Stevens did many takes of John Wayne's
single line, "Truly, this man was the son of God." A rumor has long
persisted that at one stage Stevens pleaded with Wayne to show more
emotion, an overwhelming sense of awe. During the next take, Wayne
changed the line to, "Aw, truly this man was the son of God."

discussion, you know perfectly well I don't believe in God so therefore
it follows that I don't believe that the Bible is written in Gods
language. I do know that a Roman Centurion in the time of Jesus, didn't
have an American accent.

I am beginning to think I never should have started this. I didn't give

I meant no slur on American vernacular, nor indeed on their literary
language, just that spoken by some actors, in films.

A lot of English speakers have changed (by which I mean moderated) their
accents over the last 50 years.

I have a TV mini-series recorded on my FreeSat box from Channel 5 on 28/12/2011,
starring Joseph Morgan, which I haven't yet watched.
I hadn't heard of Joseph Morgan before, but he looks like a nice boy. Welsh, of
course. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0604784/

When I visit Oz, it usually takes me a while to attune my listening to the
Aussie accent. Of course, I'm a bit hard of hearing, which exacerbates the
problem. I used to be much better at understanding foreign accents than I
am now. That's probably because my hearing has worsened. When I was in
college, I belonged to the International Club, where we had members from
various Arab countries, as well as China, Canada and assorted countries in
Europe. I seldom had problems understanding any of them.

Well that rather depends on if there is a lot of background noise. I hate
most modern movies where the background noise is so darned load that you
can't hear the actors.

I find that it helps if you know you have to listen and thus focus.
A friend of mine, whose father was born in Greece had a very heavy accent.
I knew he had an accent and I knew that even before I met him.
Apparently he decided that I was just wonderful because I didn't constantly
ask him what he said. It was totally unearned praise because I just
focussed on listening to what he said and I didn't automatically baulk at
his accent.
He spoke very well and his knowledge of English was good but he just ahd a
heavy accent. I can't understand why my friend's other friends would have
had so much trouble with his speaking.

Since it was first posted on the 20th Nov 2009, you might have some
trouble finding the original thread,
I do hope that you are not suggesting that I would post a *fake* post
from Judith?
I can post the entire thread if you so wish, which I do believes
contains the lines.
These words written by Judith, about people in this group, asp.
The subject of the thread was,"Security of New Group"
"Nor I Jingles, but I refuse to converse with low life, I really mean
that, these people we speak of are; to be polite, maladjusted and ill
educated in all ways. We know, if we are to believe those who told
us, that 1 is quite ill, is being treated for a severe mental illness,
I have been told that by someone and 2 others she thinks are friends
of hers! What does that say about her and her so called friends?
Good hunting Toci.

No, you aren't.
You asked what happened with the thread and then Gordon suggested it was to
do with snipping. I'm suggesting that it has more to do with missing carats
than a lack of snipping. The carats are missing when people respond to
Charlie's posts so I suspect it is something to do with wahtever mail prog
Charlrie uses. Charlie is not the only person whose replying posts lack
carats. The lack makes for mix ups in who said what. Joy has noticed a
problem with missing carats and so have I. YMMV.

It's a separate issue, but both are irritating...
To save me having to page down several times I tend to block posts above
100 lines, maybe I need to cut that down a little. Admittedly some
of the threads involving dummies like Charlie & co make amusing reading
un-snipped, but one page is enough, two are acceptable, more than that
is tedious.
