Spartacus: Unbelievably Violent and Pornographic!

[Gooberlx2]

Sure, but does it have boobs?

Yeah plenty. Not as gratuitous as Spartacus, but the difference gets cancelled out by having less cock as well.

rofl hahah! but no bush either.. so still +1 for Spart
JUPITER'S COCK! best swear ever...

 

[zinfamous]

Yeah, I watched the first episode of Gods of the Arena (season 2) before watching Blood and Sand (season 1), which actually spoiled the ending to season 1 .

EDIT:

I knew it was a prequel, so I assumed it would stay in the past. Bad assumption.

So you weren't expecting Spartacus to rebel?

Eva Green Boobs...

 

[Sadaiyappan]

There is a lot of gay and straight sex in the show.

Finished season 2 this morning. REALLY good season. they definitely upped the production values and i found the acting in general to be a lot better, probably a lot to do with the main actor being shitty in the first season. i liked how in the fights this season they seemed to make the gladiators like "gods" if that makes sense, in the sense that htey were more powerful than normal humans. thought it really made the fight scenes cool as shit.

really hope they continue this series, it's really enjoyable.

 

[Homerboy]

All that aside, I'm really impressed with how great the story line(s) are. Take away all the gratuitous violence and sex (I have never seen more perfect boobs than in this series. That must have been an awesome casting call... not to mention I am in love with the chick that beds Spartacus), and it's still an awesome show. In fact I may like it better with all the over-the-top stuff.

I will say one thing that drives me nuts is how everyone speaks in "poetry". Just TALK.

I'm sorry the blonde chick in Season 1 is hot as hell. Great tits.

I don't recall seeing a bad pair during any episode of this series.

even the peasants in the stands of the arena flashing their tits are good!

 

[Homerboy]

even the peasants in the stands of the arena flashing their tits are good!

That's my point! That casting call must have been awesome.

As for the blonde chick. Google her up.... I did

 

[MotF Bane]

Ilythia or whatever the hell her name is. :megafap:

 

[40Hands]

I liked it a lot. You can stream all of those series on Netflix.

 

[zinfamous]

I'll have to finish up past episode 2 of the mini series or whatever. I stopped several months ago...b/c it was more of the same stupid from the first season. :\

 

[OutHouse]

I was surfing last night and caught some of it. Man, it was pretty violent and sexual indeed. It's like they didn't have a decent cast, story, or characters and thought, "hell, if we make it overly violent, and put a lot of sex in it, our demographic of males 18-34 will LOVE it". I saw:
man/man implied sex
guys eating soup with piss in it
lots of boobs
a guy getting this throat cut completely open and blood everywhere
and a guy pissing on another guy that they just beat up, while showing his actual ding dong.

That was all within about 15 minutes.

I have no problem with violence or sex, but it's basically all that show seems to be about from what I can tell.

Fuck yea man great tv right there

 

[Regs]

I don't find much emotional attachment to any of the characters. They simply....lack any character.

yeah, it's a bad show. almost awfully bad...but in a good way. :hmm:

 

[TheNinja]

I watched the first 2 1/2 episodes of this show so I'm trying not to read any spoilers. I really like it so far.

The action. The slow mo, graphic novel type, jumping attacks, punches, etc.
The bad guys are like monsters, it really reminds of 300 but in TV series
Hot women.
My biggest issues, and I'll probably get flamed for it, is just the complete overuse of nudity. I mean I'm all for a little T&A now and then, but it's seriously the entire show. It's almost distracts from the show for me and even after 2 1/2 hours of this, I'm desensatized and don't really care about it anymore. I'm more interested in where the show and the fights are going.

 

[zinfamous]

no, you are right, Ninja. The nudity is completely absurd for most of it. But again, the show is preposterously dumb. There isn't much to distract from as the dialogue is complete drivel. :\

In related news, I've been watching Camelot on NFX streaming--also T&A pseudo-history ancient times Starz production...so it's like the same thing, only with King Arthur and magic.

Oh, it has Eva Green. That alone is worth the 10 episode commitment.

YUMM.

Ive been watching Camelot as well recently. Think i just finished episode 6 yesterday. Its pretty decent so far. But needs more T&A

 

[BladeVenom]

Camelot got canceled weeks ago.

 

[TheNinja]

Finished both series over the weekend.

I liked Blood and Sand better I think just b/c I felt like GOTA didn't have much time to tell a really good story in only 6 hours (well only about 3 hours worth of story if you take out the sex ) . It was still really cool to see how/why some of the people from Season1 ended up like they did. The Doctore and Crixus lines, Salonius, etc.

The biggest "time waster" in gota was Gannicus b/c they had to find a lead that they could use for 6 episodes. Not a lot of time to really care about him. Although I wonder if they'll meet up with him in Season 2.

Also, some cool moves in the prequel. I think I saw an armbar is episode 1. In one of the episodes, Gannicus (blindfolded) puts a triangle choke on his opponent, who picks him up and slams him (go look up Rampage power bomb vs Ricardo Arona). Finally they dude with the net and trident goes for a FLYING ARMBAR on a guy.

In history, Gannicus was one of the leaders of the rebellion.

 

[TheNinja]

In history, Gannicus was one of the leaders of the rebellion.

I bet they'll work him into this season then. He was a pretty good actor but totally went from happy go lucky to depressed like 1/2 through the series....probably b/c of his love interested and guilt associated with it.

Bumping this with bad news:

'Spartacus' star Whitfield dies of lymphoma at 39


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Andy Whitfield, who played the title role in the hit cable series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," has died at age 39, according to representatives and family.

Whitfield died Sunday in Sydney, Australia, 18 months after he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, manager Sam Maydew told the Associated Press.

"On a beautiful sunny Sydney spring morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his loving wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18 month battle with lymphoma cancer," Whitfield's wife Vashti said in a statement. "He passed peacefully surrounded by love. Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have help carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was."

Andy Whitfield — who was born in Wales and moved to Australia in 1999 — was a virtual unknown when he was cast as the legendary Thracian slave in "Spartacus," a role made famous by Kirk Douglas in the 1960 Stanley Kubrick film.

The series proved a breakout hit for the Starz network and made waves with its graphic violence and sexuality.

Whitfield appeared in all 13 episodes of the first season that aired in 2010, and was preparing to shoot the second when he was diagnosed with cancer.

While waiting for Whitfield's treatment and expected recovery, the network produced a six-part prequel, "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," that aired earlier this year with only a brief voiceover from the actor.

But in January after Whitfield's condition grew worse, the network announced that another Australian actor, Liam McIntyre, would take over the role.

"We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield," Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht said in a statement Sunday night. "We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in 'Spartacus' and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life."

Whitfield's previous credits included appearances on the Australian TV shows "Packed to the Rafters" and "McLeod's Daughters."
