What I learned from Silver Chalice


!. Paul Newman in a dress is still sexy.

2. Girls who wear too much eyeliner and paint their eyebrows like Endora from Bewitched are bad!

3. Girls who wear their hair in a Marlo Thomas-style flip are good! Nevermind that it's inappropriate for the Roman era!

4. A red spandex suit with a pattern of black tadpoles/sperm cannot make you fly.

5. Your Roman city will seem much more impressive if you make everything giant-sized.

Please add more!!! LOL!

It is so bad it could become a cult favorite! Paul Newman hated it. LOL!

Memory may not serve, but I think what Paul Newman said was he hated himself in it.

It was wonderful seeing Mr. Newman so young and early in his career. The first movie I saw him in was Butch & Sundance.... I was a teen, my Mom was a Redford fan and I guess because he was the younger, I thought he was cuter. As I got older (and in their films they stay the same age), I started appreciating Newman more. Last year I saw Exodus and was totally taken aback... those EYES!

6. Slaves are not supposed to ask questions.

7. Women during the Roman years wrote the same make up as alien women in Star Trek.

8. It's okay for grandfathers to take control of their granddaughters religious teachings.

9. The road to Jerusalem looks nothing like 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

10. Magicians know that Jesus was for real.
