I want a version of Gladiator where the arena is covered in advertisements, the gladiators come out and shill snake oil before the match begins, and they just kind of poke at each others fat bellies in between bouts of slaughtering un-armed Christians.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.Nathilus posted:hes been stuck in the gaulish campaign for a long-rear end time he's nowhere near home at the start of the movie. When you're a roman general you don't get to just check out of a campaign for a few weeks to go take a vacation. i thought it was supposed to be the end of the germania inferior campagin paranoid randroid posted:"ey senator dudes, im dyin so i command you to restore the republic" the senators wanted the republic reinstated and commodus's sister was like the only line to the throne and wanted them to listen to maximus i think. its a movie so you have to suspend disbelief that some dude would have just murdered her and her son and taken the throne for themselves.

no real opinion but i have a feelinfg that they will be the next big thing for idiot girls with too much money in islington and the guardian will do a huge G2 spread on them and meeting new people at parties will be even more of a malady of cliches and inevitable conversational threads than it is currently.

I was pretending that I was going to do something constructive this afternoon, but I think I'll just watch Gladiator again instead.Random Hajile posted:gently caress Braveheart, it wasn't even the best angry Scot movie released that year. Go watch Rob Roy instead. drat it, I just started reading this thread and I was going to post this as soon as Braveheart was mentioned. Braveheart gets drawn and quartered like a bitch; Rob Roy chops that dude in half. I think both of them get cucked. I haven't seen either movie in 10+ years.

He then went on to say that he totally would have done it himself. Never been so badly owned in my life.

girth brooks part 2 posted:I want a version of Gladiator where the arena is covered in advertisements, the gladiators come out and shill snake oil before the match begins, and they just kind of poke at each others fat bellies in between bouts of slaughtering un-armed Christians. They actually did this you know, the famous Gladiators were used to advertise for poo poo. Punch Card posted:This needs to be laughed at harder. What needs to be laughed at is if you think the emperor commodus and the character commodus have anything other than their names and the fact they were roman emperors in common. It's like the story of king arthur, there literally was a king called arthur and he lived in Britain, but beyond that there's nothing in common.

Moridin920 posted:you wouldn't have to go very far, that poo poo happened all the time in ancient Rome It's actually more ridiculous than that. They declared his Uncle, Claudius, Emperor. Nobody is 100% sure what was wrong with Claudius, with theories ranging from Cerebral Palsy, Polio, to even Tourette's Syndrome, but either way the rest of the family regarded him as "Special" (which he may have played up in order to avoid the various purges that happened between Emperor coups) but the Praetorian Guard figured he'd be better than god drat Caligula. There's a legend that after Caligula was killed, a guard found Claudius hiding behind a curtain and promptly declared him Emperor.
