It was 8 times as good as the Alan Brady Show.

Starring as Ben Hur will be John Huston's grandson Jack. These days, I would not have been surprised to hear they had cast Angelina Jolie in the Ben-Hur role with Messalla being played by Will Smith. . . to introduce a sex interest in their early friendship and rivalry. Pontius Pilate would be played by Rosie O'Donnell. Who would they cast as Jesus?

If you get the time to read Ben Hur, you wont regret it. The opening chapter where the 3 wise men meet is awesome, and really sets the tone of the book. I think it’s a shame that their tale of simple faith was left out of the film.

is really about the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, in which the author took part Wallace spent the rest of his life trying to explain why he took a day and a half to march ten miles from Crump to Shiloh.

I think you're correct. I wondered why that name sounded so familiar.
Ahhh...Selene. So beautiful yet so dangerous.

Who would they cast as Jesus? Based on the criteria you've outlined, probably Snoop Dog.
