Spartacus: Gods of the arena

[mudwhistle]

Excellent first episode. The writers/directors haven't skipped a beat.

It's available on demand thru 1/28.

Be there.

Aloha.

First time I've liked a gladiator movie without feeling like I might be thought of as being gay.

It's a great series.

Euro-Trash Porn. Nothing more,nothing less. This series was clearly made for stupid people. The Euro-Trash Porn stuff has absolutely nothing to do with the story of Spartacus. That was clearly injected for the History-Challenged Dummies of the World. And boy,the Dummies sure do gobble that shit up huh? Hollywood has failed again. This thing is more like a poorly-produced cheezy Soap Opera. What an absurd debacle.

hey well go catch some repeats of My Little Margie.....im sure you wont get a Boner watching that show......you hated the 3 Stooges too,didnt ya?....

The Three Stooges were geniuses. This Spartacus sham is anything but genius. Just cheap Euro-Trash porn intended to please the Dummies of the World. Gotta throw that pornish soap opera chit in there so the Dummies wont get bored. It's a real shame because the real story of Spartacus is so much more than that. I was very disappointed.

Maybe if they had called it Crixus instead of Spartacus you wouldn't be so indignant.

Did you watch any episode from season 1?

It's not an historical recreation.

How about Gladiator with Russell Crowe? That movie kicked ass.

Didn't like Gladiator either. Just more Hollywood shite. Hollywood fucks everything up. They feel they must please the ignorant dummies so they ruin what could be greatness. It's all about demographics and cash for them. Gotta please the morons that do spend money on movies. So you gotta add the stupid pornish soap opera absurdities. Oh well,that just Hollywood i guess. It's all about money in the end. Lots of morons spend money and that's just the reality.

Aw man,sorry bout that. Don't listen to me,i've been known to be pretty opinionated. I'm a very harsh critic. I just think Hollywood ruins everything. They turned a great story about a great man into a cheap Euro-pornish soap opera debacle. Hollywood does these things to please the morons who would otherwise get bored over such historical stories. Just more Dumbing-Down from them i guess. But again,don't listen to me. If you enjoy it,then enjoy it. It's just not for me.

Hey.. I have no problem with you letting it all hang out... No doubt, anytime Hollywood can throw boobs, buns or that special place in your face their going to do it..

I wonder at times just how pathetic commercials, TV, movies etc are going to get myself. The other day around 3 pm they were selling vibrators to the kids, I guess..

Historical accuracy has long been thrown out the window or politically correctly re-adjusted and I don't expect that will change.

So have fun, a little soap box commentary works just fine for me..

lol! Well said. Yea they gotta Dumb it down and Porn it up for the American morons. Predictable Hollywood approach. Yea i'm pretty jaded. It's true. Thanks for the kind words though.

 

[Trajan]

Euro-Pornish absurdity. Hollywood is a real mess at this point. This series has absolutely nothing to do with the reality of Spartacus' life. Just another Hollywood debacle produced to please the Dummies. It's actually kind of sad.

yea...sadly I really looked forward to HBO's Rome and well, to much knowledge is not a good thing when watching TV. I have been reading ancient history since i was 14, soooooooo epic fails.

I'm disassociating myself with the "American Morons" by the way...

I bet you just looooved Troy.

 

[Dr Grump]

This is the part where we're all supposed to say to LiboNow, "Oh, please enlightened one, give us the real story of Spartacus". It's the moment he's been waiting for all his life having spent most of his life in the library reading massive history tomes of the Roman Empire.

THIS IS TELEVISION LAND LIB, NOT THE HISTORY CHANNEL!!! And it's NZ/Oz porno, not Euro...shot in NZ and Oz with a mostly Oz and NZ cast...

That aside, I did read the Howard Fast novel, but there is little known about Spartacus that can be verified. After all, he lost, and the victors write history.

I'll grab the popcorn.

Grump- beer- lots of it.

Lumpy- got any S'mores?

I am one of the few that loved that movie!

The Boy Toy of Troy. Yeah I thought it was pretty darn cool.

The Three Stooges was a genius invention. They were incredibly talented comedians. You're comparing apples & oranges. This Spartacus sham is anything but genius. It was obviously created to please the American/Euro morons who need things Dumbed-Down and Porned-up so they'll keep watching. A little T&A always keeps the morons watchin. Like i said,Hollywood has failed again. They took something that could have been great and turned it into a seedy little Euro-Trash lame-fest. But hey,you like it and that's cool with me. Enjoy.

 

[boedicca]

Bleah. The Three Stooge are boring. I never like them, even as a wee child.

 

[High_Gravity]

Three Stooges > Spartacus porn

its not that you dont like the show Libo....thats fine....its just what you called the people here who happen to watch it.....TV is for Entertainment unless otherwise stated.....Spartacus is Entertainment....and last year when this show was on, the History channel ran a thing on Gladiators and said the real deal was much more brutal than what these guys do....and Sexual perversion was pretty rampant during those times with the Elite of the times....so maybe you are the uninformed one here.....but hey....i hear they are running repeats of Tug Boat Annie on TV Land....so hey ...knock yourself out.....
