Spartacus: Gods of the arena

For the past 13 hours, give or take, I've been watching this show (1st season). Dayum! That's all I can say.

But I did a bit of google hunting, and most of the sex scenes are using the "green screen". Most of the actors had body doubles. Some of the actors being shown nude (males) wore an "extender" because they didn't feel "big enough" or were embarassed. Lucy Lawless had no fear of showing her boobs..so those are hers. So are the regular stand ins in the crowds being shown.

Found the info here after googling:
http://thetorchonline.com/2010/02/15/sex-and-nudity-on-spartacus/

(I wondered how actors could be in those situations and not get woodies humping on each other).

Anyway..I see why Rome fell. Talk about debauchery. Sheesh. They would have put Sodom and Gomorrah to shame.

Actually, the Romans were much less "debauched" than their "Barbarian," Persian, and Egyptian counterparts.

Wife and I are enjoying the prequel... She wants to write a letter to "Spartacus"... Her Pa Died of that Disease a few years back...

I didn't Think she would want to Continue watching this Season.

I gotta see if there's an Address for him for such things.

Latest episode-
It just gets gooder and gooder.
Crixus gets his first victory in the arena. I wonder when he's gonna shave?
When will the women shave?
I wanna see some slave shavin'.

Gooder and Gooder? LOL, better and better maybe!

What is the over/under on Gannicus getting killed, freed or sold!

Prediction Crixus kills Gannicus in the arena!


What is the over/under on what happens to Melitta, wife of Oenomaus (Doctore)? I can't see her getting sold or freed, but she has to die. Illness, violence, accident, gladitor revenge against Doctore or even death during child birth of Gannicus's son perhaps?

Only 3 episodes down and 3 to go, I am sure the fate of both will be told soon!

 

[Mr. H.]

It's tragic that Andy Whitfield got the cancer, but this prequel treatment is working out dandily.
And gooder.

Gannicus was a general in Spartacus' army...whether it is the same one, I don't know. I think he is sold...and that is why he was not put in Primus by the father when he arrived and will show up on future episodes maybe. I think Melitta dies in childbirth..with Gannicus being the dad although Doctore doesn't know. Or he might.
So far, they are tying it in really well, so ...who knows what will go down. But Gannicus will not die. IF they are going with true history.

This thread is harshing my Netflix downloading of Season 1.

I'm way behind: Spartacus has just earned a reprieve from The Pit.

Season 1 was like 300 and Rome mixed...

So is this Season, but it was Great New TV... Finally.

I Thought my Wife would stop watching because her Dad Died of the same Cancer...

Oh no no no. It is a MUST SEE. And I am so picky on my movies. Loved 300. Gladiator too. But this? Oh my. It's....almost hard porn, but the storyline is awesome. I watched all of season 1 on netflix...back to back for the first 7 eps..then the following 6. Took me over 13 hours and two days. Then I started season 2, thinking I would hate it with Spartacus gone. But that has not happened. They are weaving losing Andy in very well for season 3.

BTW...season 2 only has 6 episodes which you can watch on netflix but not until after it airs on Starz on Friday nights. I am all caught up.

2009UR 105 minutes
Three naughty girls -- leggy stripper Trixie (Julia Voth), homicidal drug runner Camero (America Olivo) and high-powered businesswoman Hel (Erin Cummings) -- team up to rip off a crime kingpin, but surprise betrayals quickly spin events out of control. Guns, hand-to-hand combat, scantily clad women and plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor populate this guilty-pleasure throwback to 1960s and '70s exploitation films.

The best part of the movie was the lesbo scene between Julia Voth

and Erin Cummings (Spartacus' Wife in "Blood and Sand")
