The Price May Be Right - Number 23
Welcome to “The Price May Be Right!” I’m counting down My Top 31 Favorite Vincent Price Performances & Appearances! The countdown will cover movies, TV productions, and many more forms of media. Today’s pick features Vincent as part of a truly legendary production. Today we focus on Number 23: Baka the Master Builder, from The Ten Commandments.
Tumblr media
Much like my previous case, this is an instance where Vincent is not so much the star, so much as one supporting figure. And, once again, a big part of what makes his presence so noteworthy is the reputation of the film in question. Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments” – itself a remake of the filmmaker’s earlier silent film of the same name – is widely considered to be one of the greatest classic movie epics in history. The film tells the Biblical story of Moses, from his birth to his death, and features an enormous cast, chock-full of some of the most incredible actors in the history of Hollywood. From Charlton Heston as Moses, to Yul Brynner as Rameses II, to Edward G. Robinson, to Anne Baxter, to John Carradine, to Cedric Hardwicke, to Judith Anderson…the list goes on and on, one great star of a bygone age after another. Some of these actors were already legendary when they were cast; others effectively got their careers started, cemented, or simply boosted up by their presence in this picture. Vincent is in the latter category. His role in the film is relatively small, but to say they make the most of his time in it is putting it mildly. Price appears in the role of Baka the Master Builder…or, as the Hebrews call him, “the Master Butcher.” He is the cruel and amoral head of construction in Egypt, second only to Moses in the overseeing of the city’s building. He supervises the Pharaoh’s slaves with, as his aforementioned title implies, sadistic brutality. While Baka’s time in the story is relatively small, the actual role he plays in the story is pivotal: Baka kidnaps the beloved of Joshua, Moses’ future second-in-command. When Joshua tries to rescue her, Baka plans to torture him to death…but Moses – disguised as a Hebrew slave for his own purposes – saves Joshua by strangling Baka. It is this crime that leads to Moses being banished from Egypt and disowned from the royal family, a major turning point in the plot. Ironically for a non-horror role from Price, Baka may be one of the single most CHILLING performances he ever delivered. The cold, calculating, disturbingly methodical way he goes about things in his tormenting of Joshua truly sends shivers up and down one’s spine. The calm, utterly unfeeling way he talks about his treatment of his “workers,” from how they are managed to how they are punished for every infraction, is similarly horrible. And the unsettlingly elegant, seductive, yet verbally callous and lecherous way he admires Joshua’s lover, Lilia, is truly shudder-inducing. While he is only onscreen for about ten to fifteen minutes of the movie’s spectacular three-and-a-half-hour running time, he nevertheless remains one of the movie’s most memorable characters, simply for the pure and odious evil he drips with every passing moment. While it is satisfying beyond belief to see Baka get his murderous comeuppance, Price plays the character so beautifully in his awfulness, you almost wish you could see more. Tomorrow, the countdown continues with my pick for Number 22!

the fact that kevin day also witnessed a man being chopped up in the tower at evermore after neil’s audition is mad, and it’s something that is very much not addressed ever. like, maybe part of kevin was so accepting of how things were in the nest because he knew that this is the second branch, and if he were to leave, he’d become the main branch’s problem because he knows too much, and the main branch casually chops men up as a warning to literal children. and then he’s still called a coward for leaving ?? but also a coward for wanting to go back to make the inevitable less painful for him ??? and that’s not even considering what riko and tetusji did to him specifically, before even jean arrived at the nest. and his mother’s death would’ve been quite recent at that point. just insane.

Quote
The pleasure of this sort of life – bookish, she supposed it might be called, a reading life – had made her isolation into a rich and even subversive thing... That she was childless and husbandless and poor meant less once she picked up a book. Her mistakes disappeared into it. She lived with an invented force.

Hi Hello apparently I didn't empty my tank yet.
So fun general headcanon: Emmet likes to cook. He makes most of the meals in the house and often brings homemade food to special events as a way to show his appreciation of whoever he has over. It's how he relieves stress, shows affection, tries new things, it's one of his key interests beyond battling.
This has slightly different connotations in Battle Addict. See Emmet studies the physical properties of pokemon, how they tick and how to make them stop ticking. A key part of his studies is sketching pokemon and outlining their internal structures, but there's no teacher like experience. His favourite way to improve his knowledge is dealing with the subject hands on, and cooking is a very good way to do that. He specifically practices butchery, breaking pokemon down section by section, noting the musculature, skeletal structure, and organs inside. This information helps him to find weakness in an opponent's pokemon while knowing how to cover his own.
This also serves as bonding time for him and Ingo because Ingo gets to be sous chef while Emmet turns a monster into mincemeat. He hands him the different tools he needs and they converse while Emmet slices and picks apart the carcass. Emmet also gets to explain the inner workings of the pokemon, which both of them enjoy analyzing and discussing.
The book Emmet is holding is his "butchery book", which is really just a collection of different biology textbooks he uses as guides to best break down carcasses. They always end up getting messy and after a certain point, he just stops caring and uses it, dirty as it may be. They have to be stored in a sealed container away from their other study materials, and are only ever brought out for processing. Emmet is probably the only person who can stand to be next to the stench of the concentrated dried blood throughout the pages, Ingo usually wears some kind of face cover when Emmet is working.
And for those who want to see the real mess of the work:
Tumblr media
Washing up is half the labour of studying through butchery.

Looks like the Qui-Gon graphic novel got quietly pushed back to January 2025. It's probably a good thing since I haven't recovered yet from The Living Force with its handful of Sifo-Dyas mentions and still need to survive whatever the Acolyte is going to do to me. A full storyline set in Qui-Gon's Padawan era with Dooku might kill me, especially if they don't take the coward's route, and actually depict Dooku as beautiful as young Christopher Lee as they did in the Yoda comics. (Or, speaking of that run, let him have character development and sympathetic moments.)

Indie Bookstore Day 2024!
I can hardly be expected to have shelf control if Indie Bookstore Day and my birthday are within, like, a week of each other, right?? ESPECIALLY not if one of them was doing a Buy 3 Get 1 Free on paperbacks (evidenced by the bottom row), and if ARCHANGELS OF FUNK and TRANSLATION STATE were Birthday Gifts To Myself (pre-ordered in December and everything!)??
Anyway! Great week for books! Good thing we gave up on the moderated book buying ban, huh.
