Ben Hur

Today I bought the DVD of Ben Hur, and sat down to watch the Chariot Race. As you do! Why else would you buy Ben Hur?

The 14 year-old son of a friend wandered in, watched it for 30 seconds, and said:

"That's just a rip-off of the pod race in Phantom Menace."

I laughed at him, long and hard. He still doesn't get it.


(this marks a return to my innocuous and empty journalling style.)

*sighs* That's rather sad, actually.

I grew up on a variety of medium, including the classics. I'll bet the kid doesn't know who John Wayne is either and has never watched "Singing in the Rain".
