I'm related to Francis X. Bushman who played Messala in the 1925 version.

I inherited neither his looks, physique, or talent.

You COULD change your FReeper name to Tijeras X Slim.

Kinda catchy!

I remember as a boy in the 1950s my Grandmother, who was in her 60s at the time, saying that Valentino and Francis X. Bushman were her favorite movie stars. She died in 1961 at age 73.

"I inherited neither his looks, physique, or talent."

On the bright side, you probably didn't inherit his penchant for lipstick either. :-)

Both the 1925 and the 1959 movies had excellent chariot races! No CGIs!

The 1925 version was great, the 1959 version was great the first time, but when seen again and again it was way-y-y too long! Kind of like watching THE ALAMO (1959) for the tenth time and wanting to just see the last hour, so I watch THE LAST COMMAND instead.

I got both on DVD so I can fast forward through them to the naval battle and the chariot scene.
