How does Yea Forums feel about HBO's Rome?

I would completely agree with you, but
>Ciarin Hinds is really not a good actor
Wrong.

1st season was amazing, like better then what people pretended GOT was. 2nd was meh but had some great moments.

HE WUZ A KANG OF ROME

I dunno who played Cicero, but although he had a really pretty minor role, the actor really did him justice.

Probably one of the most enjoyable "historical" dramas ever made
This

>the actor really did him justice.
IRL Cicero was an absolute chad, not some cowardly pushover.
But his actor was really good, though.

Irl cicero I always thought of as like Rome's Rand Paul. A sort of cucky but intelligent moderate that reddit would love.

Romans did serve cakes at birthdays, why complain about historical inaccuracies if you don't know what you're talking about?

Watching it for a 2nd time right now.

Probably the only show to do "ancient morality" right

It's great. Season 1 is top tier kino. Season 2 is rushed and distinctly lower quality, but it's still a lot better than how GoT ended up being.l

>Octavius and Octavia incest
>Octavia scissors Brutus' mother
>Caesarion is Cleopatra's only child, the three children she gave to Anthony are completely absent
>Caesar's Civil War that took four years is condensed into a single season, and half of that is pointless sex scenes in Rome

season 1 was great
season 2 was average

What of good Cossutius?

>>Octavius and Octavia incest
I doon't remember that in the show. Did it really happen irl?

if it had been allowed a couple more seasons, would've been the greatest show of all time

Absolutely beautiful costumes and sets, too bad most of you niggers watch 720p yify rips and other streaming quality trash on a poorly calibrated 15' lcd screen, you miss the best part.
Great show overall, rewatching it now after a few years, too bad Spartacus beaners ruined the threads with their underage retardation and reddit memes in the meantime
Also who was Best Girl, and why was it Octavia?

Of course not you dumb nigger, that's romanticization and artistic license just like the whole Attia/Servilia conflict and a ton of other things in the show

Hinds was the second best actor on the show behind Purefoy.

I mean, those years were so eventful that each phrase would translate to ten-hour season each:
>Season 1, 49 BC:
>Begins little before Crossing of the Rubicon
>Caesar goes to fight Optimates in Hispania
>B plot about Gaius Scribonius Curio losing to Optimates in Africa and committing suicide for it
>End in Caesar returning to Rome and being appointed a dictator

>Season 2, 48 BC:
>Begin two months later
>Caesar lands in Albania
>Mid season finale: Battle of Dyrrhachium
>Pentultimate episode: Battle of Pharsalus
>Final: Caesar learns about Pompey's murder

>Season 3, 48–47 BC
>Begins Caesar arriving in Egypt, cue Siege of Alexandria
>Mid-season final: Battle of the Nile
>Final: Caesar deals with Pontus in Battle of Zela

>Season 4, 47–46 BC
>Caesar deals with mutiny and leaves to fight in Africa
>Final: Battle of Thapsus

>Season 5, 46–46 BC
>Caesar goes finish Optimates in Spain
>Pentultimate episode: End of Labienus in Battle of Munda
>Final: Ides of March

That's a cute ducker

HOLY SHIT WHAT? I guess it goes to show Octavian and his family drama was the weak point of the show if I forget something like this while I can remember Pullo and Vorenus talking about what stars are with perfect clarity.

This guy gets it
What kind of meme-addled wreck could watch the scene where Caesar receives the head of his old friend bitterly turned mortal enemy and think 'lmao overreacting xd', if not for years of spamming a catchphrase
Genuinely moving scene with perfect delivery from Ciaran Hinds

YES

pls stop it hurts

Actually the show creators had intended for the series to be at least 5 seasons long or something like that. The reason season 2 felt so crammed is they got the news that it was gonna be cut halfway through production so about halfway through the season everything is sped up a bunch.

It's a great scene moron, you just want to fuck your sister so your subconscious blocked it out
Don't @ me

Sucks it didn't last long enough to get to the parts where Rome just kept spitting out ever worsening monster emperors.

If seeing him opposite Jared Harris in The Terror didn't make this apparent, then you've got no appreciation for acting and can be entertained by the craft equivalent of having keys jangled in front of your face.

Can you imagine him carrying a show/movie? He's just a meme character actor. Just not interesting enough to ever be a lead. Doesn't have any range either.

Some of the best TV bromances of all time

Not quite. Into the 1800s or so, people thought Cicero was a chad and the embodiment of virtus. However, the latter view that you're describing started to come in around that time - that for his oratory skills, Cicero was a broadly ineffective politician.

The TV show tries, and I would say succeeds, in balancing those two views of Cicero.

considering that they found about the cancellation after they had done half of season two, they were always going to summarize whole Caesar's Civil War in the first season.
Considering the speed they were going, the season five would have probably ended with Nero's suicide or something

And what of good Solonius?

Attached: 405955-solonius_large.jpg (300x450, 27K)

It is difficult to explain why a painting or a performance or any piece of art is 'good'.

If he is so good, why has he been solely relegated to identical character roles ?

Episode 9 directed by a gay polish jew son of a literal oven dodger.

user is right, guy was a crap caesar

followed by an even longer series' about the events leading up to Augustus

No one is saying he's the greatest actor in the world. But in this show I thought he did a great job. He dominated almost every scene he was in. He had the Caesarian presence. I mean he's probably most known for this role.

You are the worst kind of pseud user.
You abuse your freedoms. You complain in the safety of speculation, you claim foresight in matters you obviously don't know anything about and you are weak in your argumentation because your authoritative phrasing gives you privacy and deference. You've made yourself miserable, and distant, and hard to love.
I'm not the shitposter you are user, never will be. But you will never be fit for movie critique. And as your contradictor, I take some responsibility for that. For the vanity of your outlook. I should have curbed these tendencies, rather than contradict them, because you seem to have confused my contradiction with tolerance, but there is a limit to how much I can tolerate, and that is where we are presently standing!

based good Solonius poster

making your posts pompous sounding and difficult to read makes you sound stupid not smart user.

>i-it's difficult to explain okay? But you should know good acting when you see it, it's like obvious
Jared Harris is definitely overrated, guy can't convey any emotion
I can't explain why either so I must be right
Literally the best casting that could be made for the character.

I genuinely don't understand your fucking shit. The guy eats every scene he's in with his presence, great voice, great attitude, perfectlyalternating suave and calm seduction of his rivals and paws with bouts of voluntarily exaggerated emotions in speeches, while keeping genuine parts of repressed anger where the mask slips.
Not that you fine noblemen could be able to fucking notice it, you'd miss good acting if it was repeatedly hammering you empty head as long as nobody shitposts about it on your favorite mongolian weaving forum.

Based.
At some point I've got to buy Rome and Deadwood on Blu Ray.

it's not good acting, it's just acting
the 'nuances' that you think are brilliant are as overt and skill less as possible
a child would pick everything up from a ciren hinds preformance

>still no argument except 'it's bad okay?'
I fucking hate 'arguing' with 12 years old. You don't know shit about acting, so don't bring skill into the discussion if you're unable to explain what it is.

What i'm saying is that it's not that we aren't noticing what he's doing with his performance, or that he's not doing anything, but that it's blatantly obvious what he is doing and that there's no real nuance or subtleties.

And if he does have such amazing presence and you find him so interesting to watch, he's clearly got clout in the industry because he gets cast in big drama series, so why has he never had a lead role of note?

>I fucking hate 'arguing' with 12 years old.
hol up , is english not your first language?
that would explain all this

First season was kinda okay, second season GoT-tier awful

What is it about the term "birthday cake" you're too stupid to grasp?

They served cake at a lot of things, that doesn't mean the term "birthday cake" existed, or that Brutus would even say that during a battle.

As for the second part of your post, if the movie and television industry had any lick of sense, I think we'd know about it
Rome would have been a 12 seasons epic with no end in sight still ongoing to this day.
I've thought about your post for a little over a couple minutes now, and I genuinely don't understand your point.

It's stupid and serves little purpose, wherein every sex scene in Spartacus is a part of the plot

Torrents?

great start and then rushed

had to the potential to be sopranos tier if HBO only gave it more time and moeny

There wasn't much to show after Octavian was left alone. With more seasons maybe they wouldn't rush through Actium and other important moments. And with title like Rome maybe there could be a time skip to another big crysis.

Pretty well I think

and Brutus literally says "birthday cake", which is historically inaccurate.

I can tell you're mentally ill, but do try to calm down. It's not my fault you're stupid.

Why was I just looking for this today

It's a good prequel to I CLAVDIVS.

Brutus speaks in English, which is historically inaccurate.

And Brutus is speaking English and not Latin because the show is written in mother fucking english you absolute retard
Are you seriously unironically that fucking autistically stunted or are you pretending to be retarded in a post-ironic neo-humor attempt?

Thank you, user

I think it was a good show. Sets and filming locations looked awesome.
Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo were probably the best part of it. Great bromance between those two.
Can't help but feel like the writers took a look at the two and thought "You know, these two remind me of Timon and Pumbaa, let's put in a scene where they're talking about what stars are."

Look at how grumpy you are, idiot. Speaking english does not mean they should use english terminology. They don't call cesars kings, and they shouldn't use the term "birthday cake".

Looking forward to your next sperg, my mentally ill friend.

They don't give anybody the title of "Caesar" in Rome.

>look at me making false equivalencies
Rome specifically didn't have a fucking King since the ousted Tarquin the proud you utter fucking mongoloid
Caesar is a fucking name in the show, not a fucking title yet, it only becomes a title under Augustus, if you don't understand such a simple concept how are you able to breathe
There is nothing healthier than anger when faced with an absolute mongoloid, so don't be surprised if you get insulted for your stupidity and obvious mental instability.
I don't see the point in answering any further to your next insane post, mental ward patients like you shouldn't have access to the internet in the first place.

>Speaking english does not mean they should use english terminology.
It does for the same reason that they speak english you dimwit, so they don't have to constantly stop everything they're doing to explain terminology to the audience, or inelegantly express everything in literal, robotic terms

Calm down idiot. You forgot to take your ritalin.

The term "birthday cake" is still stupid, and wasn't coined until like the 15th century. No amount of stupidity and anger from you will change that.

>look mommy I read wikipedia
Are you seriously suggesting that it took until the 15th century for someone to call a cake served on a birthday a 'birthday cake' for the very first time in existence?
You're not really that stupid, right?

You've got no evidence to the contrary, my stupid little idiot. They certainly didn't use the term in the period Rome was set.

And you've provided absolutely no evidence pointing to the opposite of this self-obvious fact, or why 'birthday cake' would be a bad translation for placenta, meaning a cake served on a birthday in ancient Rome, so go fuck yourself, my quite obviously heavily autistic friend.

>They certainly didn't use the term in the period Rome was set.
>there is a word in Latin for 'birthday cake'
>but the word doesn't exist
I really don't have the words to describe such stupidity.

I like how easy it is to invoke the rage of morons like yourself, wrapped right around my finger.

Sorry, but it still sounds idiotic for Brutus to utter that term right before a battle. Stick to terminology appropriate for the setting. I don't expect a braindead moron like you to grasp that.

typical midwit response. google dunning-kruger my friend

>there is a word in Latin for 'birthday cake'
>birthday cake
No there wasn't, idiot.

You seem to rely on google a lot. Maybe you should read a book? Or is that too much for your tiny brain?

>hi I'm autistic and i don't accept the fact that a word describing a cake served exclusively on a birthday means 'birthday cake'
lmao, must suck being retarded

yikes, weak deflect

>it still sounds idiotic for Brutus to utter that term right before a battle.
Why would the fact that they are right before a battle means that he would have to use another term to describe a birthday cake?

Look at how mad you are. It's not my fault you're idiotic enough to believe a show about rome should include modern terminology.

lmao you really don't want to lose face over saying retarded shit do you?
don't worry, you already have but nobody gives a fuck about you anyway

>birthday cake is now modern terminology
you know at first I was actually a bit pissed, but you're actually way too funny for that

Part of translating from Latin into English involves translating the Latin terminology into English terminology, no?

>nobody
I always love it when idiots like yourself have to appeal to others when you're struggling in an argument.

Just swallow your pride and move on. There's no latin word for "birthday cake" and use of the term at all is unfitting. The fact that you've sperged this much about it tells me you have some serious mental issues.

>you know at first I was actually a bit pissed
Knowing just how deranged you are, that's hardly a surprise.

Birthday cake is 100% modern relative to the old roman days. Nothing you say will change that, my idiotic friend.

Rome did not have a word for "birthday cake", but you're too far in to swallow your pride now. Keep going little piggy.

Prove they didn't.

upvoted

They had a word for cake, and they had a word for birthday. Why would they not combine them together for a cake which is served on birthdays?

Prove it, provide sources.
They had a cake called placenta, specifically served on birthdays. Prove that this cake doesn't qualify as a birthday cake and prove that the translation is inadequate otherwise shut the fuck up.

>Prove it, provide sources.

Birthday cake is a term that should never be used in a show like Rome, even when they're speaking english. This will always be true, and it will always hurt you.
