I can't be a shiksa. CP said I was a Mensch!

Ooooh, I want a double feature of The Ten Commandments and Prince of Egypt!

My unconventional seder features clips from both, btw. And though my family kept Kosher for Passover (but not regularly Kosher) when I was growing up, I have eschewed that restriction. So we drink palatable wine (and lots of it ... 4 glasses per person are proscribed!!). And we feast on foods that are not necessarily Kosher for Passover.

We've combined the 2 halves of the seder into one long, pre-feast segment ... because we've found over the years that no one's really into more seder after a lot of wine and tons of food.

Oh, and I've designed and manufactured a custom Haggadah (the guidebook, if you will, to the seder) that's, if I do say so myself, a work of art - with imagery taken from various Haggadahs I've liked, but mostly from a 14th Century Manuscript of surpassing gorgeousness.

Oh, and as I said, we pepper our seder with film clips from The Ten Commandments and The Prince of Egypt. To my mind, the purpose of the seder is to communicate the story of to new and succeeding generations ... and I feel video is a recently-concocted way to fulfill that mandate for future humanity.

As such, our seder is a multi-media folk traditional extravaganza of music and joy and carousing and feasting. It's wonderful. And yikes, Gemini Cricket practically talked me into throwing one together for this year.

Anyone interested???

Totally interested. But it sounds like you're full for this year. Keep me in mind for next time, because I'd actually be very interested in attending a seder some time

iSm, if you're doing one, I'm in. H will be out of town - and I'm not leaving the dogs behind to trek to the East Coast.

...and I still do want to have a movie get-together this month. A Friday? A Sunday brunch/movie? A school night? All good by me.

BarTopDancer · 04-02-2008, 09:52 AM

Depending on the decided day, I'm in.

innerSpaceman · 04-02-2008, 09:58 AM

mp, we're trying to throw one together for Saturday, April 19. We figure we need six to eight folks to make a go of it. If you're in, that makes 4 ... but I left it up to G.C. to scour up the guests. If he's successful (and that date works for people), then it's ON, BABY!

When you say you want a double feaure of The Ten Commandments and Prince of Egypt, you'd best specify whether you mean the Charlton Heston version (or the previous C.B. DeMille silent epic), or last year's critically reviled animated version. It flopped at theaters, and it's easy to see why. With Prince of Egypt around, there was no need for another animated Moses movie.

innerSpaceman · 04-02-2008, 10:07 AM

No, I mean a camcorder filming of the Val Kilmer musical theater version.

Ok, to be precise ... I mean the Cecille B DeMille remake of his earlier silent The Ten Commandments, this time starring Charleton Heston and Yul Brynner. And the initial Dreamworks animated feature The Prince of Eygpt.

(my seder features 3 clips from the former and 1 from the latter)

mousepod · 04-02-2008, 10:20 AM

What about that movie "Moses" with Ben Kingsley in the title role and Christopher Lee as Ramses?

For audio, there's the neat (and creepy) cd Plague Songs.

Sadly, though the title might imply otherwise, there's no Passover connection to Let My People Come. (Though perhaps at a seder organized by iSm...)

LSPoorEeyorick · 04-02-2008, 10:36 AM

I sent mojo to iSm, but I, too, would like to partake in My First Seder.
