Utopia Talk / Politics / Spartacus fucking ruled

Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 01:11:38 I never thought much of that period in roman history, a boring revolt of slaves soon ended by proper armies... But that show fucking rules. The plot fucking rules. I couldnt stop watching it.
CrownRoyal Member	Fri Apr 23 01:16:16 gtfo man. I mean, the effects were very entertaining, all the gore and constant fucking. But this was not a great show, I was laughing my ass at some of the corniest moments. The Wire, it aint. I still have two episodes to watch, maybe something amazing happens there?
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 01:36:24 The effects were actually the worst part. The fake blood... acceptable but not great. The plot and acting was way better than I expected. It certainly kicks the shit out of any other production that has occurred in some years, with the possible exception of Generation Kill.
habebe Member	Fri Apr 23 02:09:53 Is it anything like Rome (HBO), I really wish they weren't canceled.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 02:12:54 It is similar to rome but better. They get better and better through the series.
habebe Member	Fri Apr 23 02:15:43 I'll have to check it out then, ROME was probably the best historical drama series ever.
Clitoral Hood The Bloody Scourge	Fri Apr 23 02:28:09 spartacus isn't that great. action is good, effects are stupid. the plot is fairly predictable. I'd say Rome was better, but there's always the chance future episodes improve the series. it's watchable. as long as you expect a marginal plot made better by typical roman customs and savagery.

Clitoral Hood The Bloody Scourge	Fri Apr 23 02:33:19 exactly.
CrownRoyal Member	Fri Apr 23 02:45:29 "The effects were actually the worst part. The fake blood... acceptable but not great. " I said gore and fucking were entertaining, not great. Nothing is great about spartacus, they try to be both Rome(great HBO show) and 300(graphic movie) at the same time, and as a result they fail at both. Like when he yells "I.AM.SPARTACUS!" after he wins. A fairly laughable cross between the great "Thirteenth!" cry of Rome and the retarded but entertaining cry "Spartans!" that they shout throughout the 300 movie. There are other instances of trying to be both and not succeeding. They have neither the grittiness and believability of Rome nor the retarded but entertaining pace of 300. I'd still rcoemmend this show to people, you are correct, it certainly kicks the shit out of any other production that has occurred in some years. But its not great.
Clitoral Hood The Bloody Scourge	Fri Apr 23 02:53:19 "it certainly kicks the shit out of any other production that has occurred in some years." fuck you, castle is the best show on tv. most other stuff is crap though.
russian Member	Fri Apr 23 02:58:34 By XENA's purple tits your all wrong. The best show on tv is stargate universe.
Nimatzo Member	Fri Apr 23 02:59:05 I have to agree with Sam the show if fucking great and kick ass. I mean you have violence, tits and fucking AND it is a period in history that I enjoy. The acting is very good and so is the twisting plot. The series had a mid season high mark last week, what everyone had been waiting for. For Spartacus and the slaves to break free. I mean the massacre of the villa was an art form :-)
habebe Member	Fri Apr 23 03:01:27 Castle? Stargate Universe? Nope your both wrong Dexter is the best series on TV.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 03:14:04 I like how characters fortunes and your opinions of them change and then change again and again throughout the show. I think they might have another good season in them, as the rebels rape and pillage and grow strong, but then they will be bound more by history and won't have the budget to properly remake the increasingly larger battles... also the shows hero and his slave army are ultimately powerless against the organized might of the roman army.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 03:16:31 but ya, the last episode rocked.
russian Member	Fri Apr 23 03:19:31 by xenas big and pointly nipples, i actually havent seen any episodes, just cut scenes showing lucy lawless topless
patom Member	Fri Apr 23 03:19:32 All this excitement over a movie that was made in the 50's??
habebe Member	Fri Apr 23 03:20:20 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus_blood_and_sand It's a tv series now.
habebe Member	Fri Apr 23 03:21:27 Similar to Rome...whih I can vouch kicked ass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_(TV_series)
Nimatzo Member	Fri Apr 23 03:42:26 I actually think about the big battles and how they will solve that, maybe they set up with the hopes that the show would be a hit and they would receive big funding for the second season, because even the very small battles (in comparison) in the beginning they bypassed entirely by having them desert. Not even Rome (the series) showed any big battles, just the aftermaths, but then again Rome was not so much about kicking ass but more about stabbing backs.
Isaksson Member	Fri Apr 23 04:32:48 I miss grabbing tits, i miss tits now when you are talking about it. good ol fashion big tits. i don't want to suck on them no, but grab them, curess them, mold them, hold them. I miss tits!
Still Well Member	Fri Apr 23 07:30:36 I watched an episode about a month ago and thought it was shit, Rome was much better.
CrownRoyal Member	Fri Apr 23 08:16:55 No question about it.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 10:05:51 Wikispammer=hot rod?
Nimatzo Member	Fri Apr 23 10:07:29 The only people who do not enjoy Spartacus are homos and middle aged women.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 10:20:25 That was hot rod
mexicantornado Member	Fri Apr 23 14:42:07 Yes, only homos and women would dislike a show that keeps all the male leads naked, is comprised of mostly of fucking and has incredibly unrealistic fight sequences. Sparticus is honestly the gayest show and weakest I ever turned on, only watched about 5 minutes of it then decided it was made for tools and dooshbags.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 14:46:42 Only MT would think that chicks naked all over the show is "gay". They better have a lesbian scenes in season 2.
mexicantornado Member	Fri Apr 23 14:56:24 i think men fighting basically naked in utterly dry green screen fights is gay. Throwing naked women was honestly just a bone to throw to tools like you.
Nimatzo Member	Fri Apr 23 15:01:10 >>i think men fighting basically naked<< What the fuck are you on about? The only scenes where the men are naked is when they are in the bath or fucking. It's how normal people do these things. >>green screen fights is gay<< So that means you did not enjoy 300 either then? Because the fights were not realistic. How incredibly fucking gay you are.
Seb Member	Fri Apr 23 16:02:39 BTW... now is a good as time as any to bring it up... American remake of life on Mars... the ending. What. The. Fuck. Are your producers really so literal minded?
Seb Member	Fri Apr 23 16:05:37 russian: Stargte universe? Meh... It wants to be Battlestar so very badly, all gritty and realistic and stuff... but it can't handle it... it's stargate. But it has Robert Carlyle in it... and he steals the show whilst sleep walking through it and making it clear he is actually a good actor but just doing it for the obscene bags of cash.
mexicantornado Member	Fri Apr 23 16:10:46 "So that means you did not enjoy 300 either then?" Haha yeah 300 is fucking lame too, as with Spartacus it was made for the pre-adolescent crowd of tools and dooshbags.
Sam Adams Member	Fri Apr 23 16:22:13 MT has no testicles
Nimatzo Member	Fri Apr 23 17:16:26 >>It wants to be Battlestar so very badly, all gritty and realistic and stuff... but it can't handle it... it's stargate.<< Ahh fellow BSG lover, have you watched Caprica, seb?
Nimatzo Member	Fri Apr 23 17:17:44 My god no wonder women cheat on you MT, sooner or later they find out that you are more of a woman then they are.
russian Member	Sat Apr 24 00:31:28 "It wants to be Battlestar so very badly, all gritty and realistic and stuff... but it can't handle it... it's stargate..." I disagree. The only connection with BSG is that their both on a boat. I liked BSG but i think by the 4th season it lost the plot and became too convoluted and confusing. stargate universe will follow the trend of all stargate franchises with 1 very good season (this one) next 2 satisfactory seasons and an atrocious final. And robert carlyle makes the whole show.
habebe Member	Sat Apr 24 03:32:59 While we are talking about tv, I just watched "Community", better than I thought it would be, it's the mob-movie parody one with chicken.
habebe Member	Sat Apr 24 03:35:54 And now, Lucy lawless topless. Although if given the choice, I'd prefer the bj chick.
NeverWoods Member	Sat Apr 24 04:23:41 What i like about stargate universe is that they take chances and they always pay off. Take the latest episode where they are on a new planet and naturally they start picking fruits at that moment i said to my self gee they are going to do some outrageous fruits purple and all that shit but hey what do you know the alien fruits looked a lot like earth ones like the kiwis they picked, i was happy about that fact and it did not seem so out of place. I never liked the old stargate shows however, they always seemed so forced, it never was natrual progression, all the desision they made seemed to fallow the same forced formula over and over again. Universe seems diffrent for the moment i'm happy with the show.
NeverWoods Member	Sat Apr 24 04:24:12 And the girl with the big boobs +
habebe Member	Sat Apr 24 04:35:16 I never got into stargate anything, as far as sci-fi goes, I used to watch the x-files, until the end 2-3 seasons when it got stupid.
Daemon Member	Sat Apr 24 05:42:30 patom "All this excitement over a movie that was made in the 50's??" I still like that old movie of Stanley Kubrick. Not his best, but worth watching.
charper Member	Sat Apr 24 05:53:51 Never understood what lucy lawless has at all. You can still see the teen chubbiness she never managed to completely ditch even if she tried to change her square body into some muscle.
russian Member	Sat Apr 24 08:41:01 "Never understood what lucy lawless has at all. You can still see the teen chubbiness she never managed to completely ditch even if she tried to change her square body into some muscle. " she looks nothing like a man. I understand that this is a problem for you.
jergul Member	Sat Apr 24 08:49:45 I liked it. UnreaEngine you reckon for segments of the combat scenes? The Gore effect reminds me of how Sagas were written. Same kind of overstatement to remind us all that well it is a saga.
SmarterthanBush Member	Sat Apr 24 10:40:18 'Never understood what lucy lawless has at all. You can still see the teen chubbiness she never managed to completely ditch even if she tried to change her square body into some muscle. ' How about being in good enough shape to literally fuck you till it falls off?
SmarterthanBush Member	Sat Apr 24 10:40:43 I guess for you that would be 8-12 seconds though.
russian Member	Sat Apr 24 11:15:17 btw on a related note i found a show that has the same amount of sex as spartacus only is much more historically accurate*. Its called the tudors. *by hollywood standards.
Jesus Adolf Hitler Member	Sat Apr 24 11:17:02 Something tells me you would enjoy the show Queer as Folk russian. Tons of sex in that show.
habebe Member	Sat Apr 24 14:15:58 I seen bits and pieces of the Tudors, never got into, still think Rome is the best HD. In jail I used to watch this Korean Historical drama about ancient warlords and shit, it was all in Korean and had subtitles in eng., can't think of the name though, maybe Dae wo or something.
Stanley Stampede Member	Sat Apr 24 14:21:02 Dae Jang Geum?
Seb Member	Sat Apr 24 18:29:45 Russian: I meant in style... it seems someone decided "hey, with the current gritty depressingly realistic human-interaction sci-fi show gone, lets try and colonise the niche. Very different in plot terms. Nim: I want to like Caprica... it has all the bits buts but somehow they just don't come together. It's not as compelling as Battlestar, granted genocide in space is more dramatic material to work with, but it's not necessarily the plot... the whole arc of the fall of Daniel Greystone is a classic narrative path that has been explored since greek times... it ought to have more impact, yet somehow it just doesn't get to me. The only part I didn't like is the whole VR-film-noir-Joseph-Adama thing.
Clitoral Hood The Bloody Scourge	Sun Apr 25 01:28:44 spartacus: mira is the hottest chick there. by far. the action is good until they add the blood splurging. MT: if you call guys w/o shirts naked, you got serious brain damage. sure, they may be wearing nothing more than jock straps, but when they're only shown from the waist up 1/2 the time, I fail to see an issue. BSG: decent show, if absolutely retarded for at least 1/2 the show. being able to look past shitty plot makes such shows enjoyable. although it pissed me off a lot that characters never really learned from their mistakes.
russian Member	Sun Apr 25 06:59:11 on another off topic matter, I am kind of licking the new dr who season. They got rid of the good doctor but brought it a good companion
Seb Member	Sun Apr 25 11:17:09 Russian: I dunno... the plots and action of the new Dr Who are much much better, none of this messianic crap, but the new actor is a bit young to take seriously. Anyone bother watching supernatural claymore... it's jumped so many sharks now that it seems to have become immune... I can't seem to quit it though.
russian Member	Mon Apr 26 00:08:08 looks great, cant wait; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8FiSEOGIyw
Nimatzo Member	Mon Apr 26 03:33:04 With regards to the OT, it looks like the second season of Spartacus will be delayed as Andy Whitfield who plays Spartacus has been diagnosed with cancer (non-hodgkins lymphoma) =,(
Atheist Fanatic Member	Mon Apr 26 03:34:11 I hope the asshole dies and season 2 never happens
Nimatzo Member	Mon Apr 26 03:38:18 I wish there was a hell for you to burn in.
