Fighting offscreen on the Moon!
Spartacus on Starz is pure horse****. I saw all three episodes yesterday and its just garbage. **** dialogue, characters,story, writing, EVERYTHING. Unless you are watching it for the softcore porn you are a ****ing moron. Watch HBO's "Rome" before you say im an idiot...otherwise **** yourself.

Anyway...I stole this review off imdb cause it made me laugh:

Having been a huge fan of HBO's "Rome", I was very excited for Spartacus. How utterly disappointing this show is turning out to be. It's like a hyper-violent romance novel with a lot of gratuitous blood and gore, cheezy lines and borderline soft-core porn that really seems to cheapen it. I keep waiting for a very muscular Fabio to come out in a loin cloth and say "I can't believe it's not Rome". A lot of the acting is very stiff, and the script is SO predictable! Good guy gets captured and beat up by bad guy. Good guy regains his strength, fights, and wins over bad guy. Yawn. If however, you are a 14 year old boy who really loved watching 300, and is titillated by a lot of bare flesh, blood, gore, foul language, and a ton of homoeroticism, then this show is for you!! The producers would have made a lot more money and got WAY better reviews if they had just made a gay porno about gladiators. Now that would be hot. At least that would have been honest about what the show is about without all the coy fellatio references and pretense.
------------

This review is pretty funny too PLUS it references LOTR:

I'm going to admit that I jumped aboard the hype-train for Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I figured that any show that followed the plot of Spartacus and the actual history behind this awesome ****** would be a great opus and worthy of me watching.

I was wrong.

It was hard for me to understand what Spartacus: Blood and Sand wanted to be. At first I thought it was a drama, but then I thought it was an action, even after that I thought it was comedy, and even after that I thought it was porn. The pilot chooses its tone like a kid chooses pizza at a buffet, randomly putting stuff on its plate and crying out that it wants macaroni and cheese too.

Spartacus also changes what movie/show it takes after too. First of all, it's Gladiator, right? Gladiator was a good movie, I'd say. Next, it's 300. Cool, 300 is okay and it had nice visual effects for its day. It copies more movies, but that's later.

Okay, so let's get to what happens. First, we're introduced to sand and a bearded, hard breathing individual looking up and down and slightly groaning. Great, awesome. BAM, we're sent to a council meeting where the Legatus (Haldir from Lord of the Rings) is attempting to get the Thracians to join the Auxlliary of the Roman Army. Bearded guy asks what it would be worth and Haldir promises that they'll kill all the Getae which have been raiding Spartacus's village.

The next scene is pretty much sex, and then a horrible rip-off of 300. I was expecting a "come back with your shield... or on it" from the Sura(man). Eh whatever, it's a TV show. Cut to a battle that includes only 14 people. Yes, the great Getae horde of 7 men fight against Spartacus and his 7 Thracians. Now, they got the action sequences from somewhere, but I have no idea where. Whatever.

Haldir goes back on his promise to destroy the Getae, instead he wants to catch up with someone else for his own personal glory. Spartacus gets the Thracians (and some other guys) to revolt under the thought that their villages are in the path of the now discarded Getae.

They kill two Romans and knock the Legatus out by making his horse jump. They run away after that and THEN THE MOST SHOCKING THING HAPPENS.

WARG RIDERS ATTACK SURA.

Why are they doing this? Don't the Warg riders have the WHITE HAND on them? Are they not in the employ of THE ONE THEY'RE ATTACKING? Oh, two different people? Sura? Saruman? Whatever, this is a show for idiots.

But still, the question remains, why are the Warg riders in Spartacus? Shouldn't they be raiding Rohan's villages and helping Sharku? Man, what the hell is going on here. This is the stupidest part of the show for me and the moment I saw this I considered not watching it.

You've seen the rest, honestly. It's called "Gladiator", and it's a much better tale.

It also doesn't have Warg riders in a historical setting. You know what could make this review better? Toaster Strudel. I'm going to make some.

Skins has spoken. I will not watch Spartacus.

I should be at Katsu as long as it doesn't ****ing snow on Friday or something ******** like that.

If I get bored enough later, I might record that video and put that on Youtube. For science.

Holy **** just got home from College Park after being there for four days straight. I had to walk through THREE FEET OF SNOW FOR AN HOUR to get to the metro station because the ****ing buses weren't running. Had I taken the main road to walk there, I could have made it in under 30 min, BUT the sidewalks were covered in mountains of snow and literally the only place to walk was on the streets. So I had to take several back roads AND cut through a ****ing park to make it. I was soaking wet by the time I made it to the station, worst feeling ever. **** the snow, the only upside to all this was I didn't have work on Monday or Tuesday and there's a slight chance I will have no work tomorrow. And since I took off Friday for Katsu, that might mean I'll have a one day work week LOL

Yes, I heard :D it makes up for the horrible trip home I just endured. I'm wondering whether I should blow through movies or anime tomorrow. We watched sooo many at CP lol btw you guys need to see True Lies if you haven't, that movie is so ****ing entertaining. Another James Cameron movie that is awesome haha.

NKB what do you think about Suzuka? I'm debating seeing it tomorrow.

If Shinku has a BB sig, then I must as well.
ROFLMFAO! I would if I could find clips that are usable/pictures to use as a background. =3

Also, it is pretty hard to make a sig with ONE HAND.

Lol, bible black...V.G is pretty good too...The opening song is amazing...A song like that shouldn't be in that type of anime x.x

Here is the song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItbIRNGBBZA

Don't be fooled by the opening...It looks like a kid friendly anime...but its just as bad as Bible Black...or good, lol
That song is mad awesome.

On another note.

I am currently watching Higurashi. It is facking amazing.

Watch the first 45 seconds of the episode and it will definitely determine whether or not you can handle the anime.
