I have just heard that they have made a new Ben Hur, with feeling. 

Damn is nothing sacred anymore.

"They stayed away in droves."

Sam Goldwyn said that. Now, that guy knew how to get it right the FIRST time, whereas our crop of overpaid poseurs waste $100 million on a film and wonder why they don't turn a profit.
