Empire: Or history trampled into dust

[dangermousie]

I've only seen 15 minutes so far and am already laughing. Not that many movies can make me go "OMG, wrong!" in the first two seconds. But when they said that gladiatorial games only started with Caesar's time, or that Senate is wooing Romans with games (as opposed to Caesar), LOL

I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I love Gladiator and all, but there's a limit to what tv movies can and cannot do.

You didn't miss anything. It's like a trainwreck!

Oh bummer.

I was hoping this might be good (still have another hour and a bit before it starts here).

Maybe I'll just rewatch some of the "Deadwood" dvds before they have to go back to the library...

You are probably better off doing that. Octavian is kinda hot, but that is the best thing I can say for this "movie"

And Colm Feore is such a great actor, too.

Dang, that was sad.

[dangermousie]

Did you watch? I am scarred for life.

I watched about ten minutes, tried again a bit later and said "Bag this!"

I have an hour before it starts for me. I had been hearing bad things about it for a while now. HBO's 'Rome' looks a lot more promising....

[dangermousie]

Yes, I am looking forward to that and not just for pretty James Purefoy

I noticed the "Tyranus" thing too.

I know...Julius Caesar is really Darth Sidious!

[dangermousie]

Does that make Octavian Darth Vader? :)

OMG, what an amazing icon from such an amazing scene...

[lazypadawan]

Thanks...I didn't make it though.
