19. There was a time, an era

or a decade where in the big studios made epic movies in which classical Greece, Rome and Egypt cost millions then (gawd knows how much today) in wide screen and brilliant color. I loved those at the theater and still do on the TV box.

I was fond of one not quite so expensive but a nice film and enjoyable one about an archaeologist (classical Egypt).

Then I learned about Robert Taylor, the star, and his politics and his lack of honor and his ratting testimony to HUAC and Joe McCarthy. So fuck that guy....

and fuck the movie.

Are we really going to subject ourselves to that stupid shit again?
