[@mormacil]

We do, we really do. As for her actual comment. Pyramids were build by an artisan class specialized in building them supported by seasonal workers. Given this was a religious duty slaves were at best sparingly used. It would be like forcing a servant to pray for you by proxy, it just doesn't work that way. We have payment records of the workers. We know they had their own healthcare system and with the time it took to build the monuments, their own towns at the edge. Here their families lived with the same doctors. When they died they were buried with great honor but with limited funds. They were probably well respected. As for how they did it, we don't know. Not because we have no idea but because we don't know which of the myriad methods they specifically used. Was it impressive? Certainly. Was it impossible? Not remotely. We've always been smart and it was just a lot of back breaking hard work. Water and levers are your friend.

Branded Fraser was black listed when he spoke out about his abuse. Metoo only cares about specific people. Johnny Depp is the real victim too.

[@LibraKing3121]

I remember hearing that he was "black listed" but, never heard the actual reason why. Bunch of rumors, from him turning down the advances of a Hollywood producer to him physically assaulting a director & on & on. He was nearly at his peak when he seemed to vanish from Hollywood. Hope he does make a comeback, he deserves it.

Just the other day I rewatched "Blast from the Past." I hadn't seen it since it came out in the 90s, but I remembered it being good. It wasn't. It's very thin on story and relies on some pretty contrived nonsense to work...but it was still a very enjoyable film because Fraser just radiates charisma. Even when the material is very weak, he's so enjoyable to watch. He definitely deserved better.

[@wolfofthewest8019]

@@chand911 Acting against empty space that will later be filled in with CGI has been done for nearly 100 years? Excuse me? No. The Mummy was actually one of the first movies to make such extensive use of CGI, and was very experimental in that regard. Now it is common for actors to act against nothing, but when they were making The Mummy, Fraser was treading new ground.

[@letmadora28]

@@chand911 Have done what? Acting? Yes, that's their job. Some are good some are bad. Some are good for physical acting, some for dramatic acting and some for both, Brendan Fraiser Is good in both. I'm sure that, in your amazing knowledge in movies, you have seen His other serious ones, like the one he Made with Sir Ian McKellen. So Tell me, Are we comparing Brendan with Brando from the 90's? Oh, Yes, Brando is soooo gooooood in thoooose movies.

[@DamonNomad82]

I've been a fan of this version of "The Mummy" since the first time I saw it. My favorite scene is the one in which Jonathan pretends to be part of the zombified mob chanting Imhotep's name.

How does it feel now to get so many of the references that pop up in other shows and movies? And Death becomes Her is right up your alley in terms of humor. And a little non-spoilerish trivia for the movie, Ingrid Bergman who was the love interest in Casablanca, her daughter is in Death becomes Her. And she looks EXACTLY like her except for darker hair. See if you can spot her.

She's going to wet her pants watching this one Monday!

I haven’t watched this one in probably 20 years and it was so fun to revisit it with you! Brendan Fraser has always been one of my favorites and this movie cemented that for me. The sequel is actually pretty good, too! Oh I almost forgot! I’m right there with you on the aliens and pyramid thing. It’s definitely possible.

The Mummy and The Mummy Returns are my two favourite movies! I wore out vhs of them out as kid from watching them so much! Love Brendan Fraser so much- he is the sweetest man ever!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheBansheila]

OMG this is one of my FAVORITE movies! And for this to be your introduction to Brendan Fraser... Perfection! He could protect me from a mummy any day 😍😍, lol Edit to add - Don't stick your hand in unknown holes. LOL

[@paulaOyeah]

Oh, how many times have I had to tell my kids, “Don’t stick your hand in unknown holes!” That’s funny! 😂😂😂

[@natalieps2387]

This movie was so good & I always love the backstory at the start. It kinda reminds me a bit of an indiana Jones movie w/ the ancient book treasure in an old world w/ the twist of the mummy. Loved it.

[@dereksteed2030]

Sure, there are horror elements in this, but it's more of an action flick. The original with Boris Karloff is a horror flick.

[@moeball740]

At some point I hope Ashleigh gets around to watching the original Universal classics like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, etc.

Would love to see you do a reaction to the movie “From Dusk Till Dawn” that could fit into your Halloween-themed month plus has the added bonus of being a Quentin Tarrentino film, which he also acts in alongside George Clooney. I won’t say anymore about the film as it’s definitely one to watch with no spoilers and without knowing any more about it or even seeing the poster.

My vision is not that bad. But over six feet detail starts to get fuzzy. Like an old tube TV that ghosts an image. Letters get hard to see if they are not blocky. Lights at night look like they are coming through a wet windshield. colors blur together at night to, along with smudgy shadows. Being tired makes it worse. TO the point big green signs on teh highway are just green. The white blurs out, then slowly comes together. only legible until I'm directly under it. My vision works adequately, until it doesn't.

[@victornewmanforever]

I miss Stephen Sommers. It was pretty rare to have a writer/director at the helm of your tentpole film. Because he had a clear vision of his project from the start, he was always able to give way more than his budget would allow. And I don't care if the CGI was not perfect. Also, Sommers' women are always beautiful, classy, smart and tough. His love of 30s/40s cinema also shines in that aspect.

[@zenarcher9633]

His film "Odd Thomas" is highly underrated and Anton Yelchin was excellent in it, such a sad loss of such a talent.

[@Johnny_Socko]

I agree! And his films usually had a diverse ensemble cast of great character actors. Maybe "Deep Rising" would be a good HallowBeans pick...

[@brosephysics]

Your pre-movie prediction was spot on. The library in my hometown had some ladders. In America you might be able to get a camel for around $9000 (If you’re okay with a pre-owned camel), but if you want a champion racing camel (and who doesn’t) expect to pay millions.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Ashleigh! 🇪🇬 Of course, the original MUMMY movie is actually the one from 1932. But this one was good, too.

[@anonimuso]

The "Of course you don't let him go!" part at the hanging always has me rolling. The way the guy asked the question in Arabic is so hilarious. Like he's not sure if a last request is legally binding. 🤣

[@ericmkendall1]

"The Mummy" (1999) is much more action/ comedy than horror--that's certainly true. I went to the theater expecting to see a horror movie in 1999 when I first saw "The Mummy," and the fact that my expectations were so confounded really put me off on this film for a long time. I had to rediscover it many years later before coming to fully appreciate it for what it is, as I do now.

[@garyballard179]

It's a *monster* movie, not a *horror* movie. There's actually not that much crossover between the two genres, and that does tend to throw off some horror fans that expect horror in monster movies. Monster movies are usually just action movies featuring large, deadly creatures/groups of creatures, or dramas centered around an abomination. There's generally very little psychological terror involved. Monster movies just get lumped into the horror genre the way sci-fi and fantasy - two separate and unrelated genres - always are.

[@crystalwood5785]

When you said “Don’t stick your hand in unknown holes,” I immediately thought of Temple of Doom. LOL!

"Are library ladders real?" As someone who dang near grew up in a library and has a crippling fear of heights, *yes.* Though the ones I encountered were mounted on rollers at the tops of the shelves.

[@bronxx117]

I think my favorite subtle detail in this movie is the museum curator guy - if you rewatch the movie (already knowing his associations) and pay attention, he very clearly is burning the map in exactly the right place just off-camera while they're not watching, then once the important part is gone, "Oh no, look what just happened, oops!"

[@jeffmillward]

I know I'm not part of the group that could get you to watch a certain movie, but I know of a scary one that I haven't seen mentioned yet (although it may have been and I just missed it) but I know it would be a good fit for Hallo Beans (did I spell that correctly?) it's called "The Skeleton Key" from 2005.
