Geek Rant - DeMille you moron
The damn paper is now finshed. Now off to paint on that guy some more or maybe draw some twenties junk.
In other news, Cecil B. DeMille makes my brain hurt in so many interesting ways.
Pharohs wearing black clothes, even for mourning this is a bad idea in Egypt. I can't quite wrap my head around that, I just sat there and went 'wait...did they even have black dyes? Wait, I just remembered...black...to the Egpytions symbolized LIFE!
Pharoh praying to the 'dread dark lord of the underworld So-Kah' to bring his son back from 'across the lake of death' - I'm just going to say, who the hell is So-kah? I don't think I've ever heard of So-Kah, there are tons of egyption gods but I don't remember this one.
Plus, there is no 'dread dark lord of death' the lord of death and the Underworld is Osiris, and hes the father figure for the Pharoh. The closest thing you got to a dark lord is Set and hes trickery and sand storms not ruler of death (in fact to get technical, thats the last place he'd be, since his brother who he killed rules the underworld, but I digress).
Also, it might make sense for Pharoh to pray to ISIS for resurection of his son. Isis patched up her husband Osiris and had the powers of healing and what not. You know, just a thought.
Next nitpick - wtf is up with a soldier saying to a guy 'I hope you go to hell!' I know that not everyone understood Egyption mythology and what not. But you could be a bit more accurate and still make a dent with the phrase 'I hope the crocodile headed hippo god devours your heart!' or something equally impressive.
I love the scene where the freaky fog rolls in and Pharohs all like 'ominous fog-meh' and this guy keels over (sideways, like someone had pulled a rug out from under him) and while falling points and while dying mutters loudly and dramatically 'Let the people go lord pharoh'.
Dude guy (no idea of names, I only came in on the last plague) knells beside and checks to see if he is live or not and Pharoh asks 'is he your son?' 'yes..my first born'
who the hell talks like that? it seems to me it might make a bit more sense to have the dude guy say something like "my son...my oldest son, *weep*" than have everyone so stone cold and stiff and assume that you'd check a guys pulse only if you were related.
