Probably :S The Romans were not a prudish lot by any stretch, they were comfortable being nude in places like gyms or bath. If you look at the sort of art they put on their walls, cups and other things we would consider it pornographic.

This is totally porn. What's up? Watched every episode more than once, starz rocks.
(Finally saw Tron last night on starz. Very happy)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Gutted about Andy Whitfield. He was perfect for the role IMO.
I prefer the book by Lewis Grassic Gibbon.
 A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
Quote:John Hannah is not going to be in the upcoming series of Spartacus, since it is confirmed his character was killed at the end of Blood and Sand. So was hers, I thought.. She looked pretty fucking dead in that last scene. Oh BOY! She's a really NASTY bitch! I would not want to be that cow who locked them in to be killed by the gladiators. She will also be honour bound to avenge her beloved Lentus.My guess is her method will be most creative . I also liked the way Crassus was portrayed. He was the richest man in Roman history. He was also a ruthless turd, even by Roman standards. Tangent: It's from Marcus Licinius Crassus we get the word 'crass'.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.  Quote:He was the richest man in Roman history. He was also a ruthless turd, even by Roman standards. Crassus was a scumbag of a businessman...making his money by buying the estates of patricians who were executed by Sulla at rock-bottom prices and by maintaining his own fire brigade which would only put out the fire if the land were sold to him cheaply. Today he'd be a republicolibertarianazi for sure!  RE: Spartacus: Vengeance

At least when Crassus crassly starts an ill conceived war against Parthia, he had the good grace to personally take the field and get wacked, thus compensating the republic he defrauded by ridding it of himself. Do we see any republicolibertarianazi personally taking the field in wars they sent lower social castes to die and be mutiliated in? Do we see any of them blown to bits by IEDs? What was Cheney's response to whether he served? Was it "I had higher priorities"? |
