@michaeldweiss My enjoyment of these "epics" is too often inversely proportional to the number of 'big name' actors cast. These things usually turn out a mess, with everyone trying to out do one another. And they're usually too clever by half. Aka, boring.
@visionergeo Maybe stills rather than faux-video would be less distracting. Those you've used so far are a bit, umm, surreal and pull attention from the text. Just a thought.
