Red Brick Tranquility. Just what I need. Together with salty air. Aaaaahhh, I envy you.
As for Charlton Heston: Yep, he's a disgusting arms propagandist these days, but then he's also had an alcohol problem before he turned evil and probably suffers from Alzheimer (the way he reacted to Michael Moore...). He actually came close to being a civil rights activist in the sixties (Y'see, my current Ben-Hur fit has made me do some research), so I'll deduce that he still was a nice slashy suffering male back in 1959. I think the past should be held against people, so it can also be held for them. And it really is slashy as hell, that film. The way they burst into giggles. And the extended seconds Messala leaves his hand fiddling around on Ben-Hur's sleeve. Or the way they keep standing next to each other when Messala visits the family. And of course, the "Beg?? - When I begged you...!!" line. Which does remind me of Snape in POA, plus Messala sometimes sounds like Rickman anyway.:-D
