Amph is the hbo series rome any good?

It's been a while since I saw the show, but I did enjoy it.

 

I'm shocked Jello didn't ban you for using a small "r".

 

kinda trifling, when there's so many other good reasons to ban me.

 

It is enjoyable, but it is also an HBO show so there are a bunch of detestable craven sex interludes for no real reason. Happily, though, unlike Game of Thrones, no one tried to weave plot into it, so you can pretty much just fast forward without missing anything.

 

No real reason? They're portraying the elites (mostly) in Ancient Rome. Those people went at it like bunnies.

 

sex for its own sake doesn't really bother me, unless it's really bad sex.

 

They did lots of things. Go to the bathroom, eat at a luxurious pace, et cetera. None of those other activities get big weird interludes, so there's no particular reason this one should either.

 

Rome sex scenes > Game of Thrones sex scenes

 

Triflin' like Bird?

lol. I bet you cover your face when they're on Wocky, but create a tiny gap to watch them through your fingers. You love it.

 

Who's the virgin whore trope chick in that one for you to adore wocky (a la Kate or Boomer)?

 

haha u forgot margery tyrell

hi-five, solojones. hi-five

 

I watched Rome and totally enjoyed it. The sex/nude scenes got to the point with me where I was thinking, "Oh, well, they're naked again or they're having sex again," and just basically ignored those scenes. I did stop watching "Spartacus" because the sex scenes were over the top and just totally unnecessary to the plot.

Game of Thrones has much less sex in it than either of the two shows mentioned above.

 

its really not surprising that rome has a lot of unnecessary sex in it when you remember that john milius provided the intiative for it. you know, the fat paranoid misogynist who inspired the (very sympathetically portrayed, contra-reality, apparently) john goodman character in The Big Lebowski

 

This is completely awful and outrageous. I can't believe that:

A. You guys would say something like this
B. They made such a terrible name to describe these characters (What does it even mean)
C. It is true (?)

Except, Rogue, you are in deep error about Margaery Tyrell. The books clearly establish that she doesn't know anything about sexual relationships, and the closest she comes to romance is love for her people and country.

 

okay i watched the first couple episodes and wow no wonder this show was cancelled - it looks like they spent millions upon millions of dollars on each. my favorite scene was the one where the boy and the clown hold up the liquor store and the truck rams through the window and kills the clown, leaving only the boy.

 

what is up with these egyptians? they look like star wars people. it's like cantina time on this show!

 

I don't know about authentic or accurate, but it was engaging and entertaining. The characters and plot moved along at a good pace, and the acting/writing had you either cheering or booing the characters.

 

i don't think i've encountered a character on this show that i do not like, other than the star wars egyptians from naboo. but they are still okay, actually.

 

Funny, I keep watching Spartacus because of the sex scenes. Different strokes, literally.

 

I've never seen "Rome" or "Game of Thrones" but whenever people talk about them the conversation inevitably boils down to one thing:

 

No, you seek Oz.
