Is anyone else watching Spartacus on Starz? Oh. My. Gawd. This show is porn with English accents. I don't know if anyone uses this phrase anymore, so I may be showing my age, but this show is exactly the kind of show that spawned the term "Late Show H.O.". Hubs has been watching it but I usually sit in the room and read. I do, however, glance up at the TV from time to time and usually there's either a hot guy in a loincloth or naked chicks or an orgy or all three. Hubs agrees it's very homoerotic. It's a good story, there's all kinds of intrigue and scheming, and some sad bits too, but I have to say all the sex is distracting. (Distracting me from my books, LOL!) And the blood - oh the blood is EVERYWHERE!
Here's the official trailer (watch it - you won't be sorry):
Did you recognize Lucy Lawless? I didn't:
Here's the cast:
Sadly, it was announced earlier this month that Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and filming for season 2 has been postponed while he receives treatment. I'm sending healthy thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery!
Patti I have never seen the movie and do not have Starrz but it looks to me like maybe you are right they are fighting and who cares the view is good!!!!!

I saw the commercial for the movie.. and hubby was like OH YEAH we need to see that... I was like Mouth to open to make comment .. lol!
ReplyDeleteHoly shiiit!
It doesn't LOOK like they're fighting to me, either. :)
ReplyDeleteJackie B: Exactly, the view is VERY good!!
ReplyDeleteCecile: I can't imagine a guy alive who wouldn't like this series - I didn't expect to like it but I do.
Chris: I'm imagining they're doing something else ;)
Sort of reminds me of the show 'Rome'. I watched that under the pretense that it was a fascinating look at the life and times of Caesar, but in fact I just wanted to see full-frontal nudity and gratuitous sex!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like this show. Thanks for the heads up!
No way... that's Lucy Lawless!?
ReplyDeleteDamn my cheap hubs, we only have HBO *sobs*> My dad had this one and oh lordy talk about hot mens with cute asses. I nearly died when I saw that Lucy Lawless was on the show.
ReplyDelete...hrm, fighting you say ;)
ReplyDeleteNah not for me, I didn't watch Rome cos it was sex and no plot and this looks the same, too bad
Danielle: I didn't watch Rome but I'm sure is is similar. I'm enjoying it! (and yes, full frontal is involved)
ReplyDeleteTori: I know, I said the same thing!
SHB: Hot menz with cute asses is right! I don't know if I actually watch anything else on Starz.
Blodeuedd: At first the blood turned me off b/c there's a LOT of it, but once I walked into the room and saw what else was going on *wiggles eyebrows* I ended up sitting for a bit ;)
Ahh I've been meaning to watch this - but watching online is soo annoying! Will wait till DVD comes out!
ReplyDeleteHomoerotic..that is all I needed to hear :)
ReplyDeleteHow is it I have missed this one? ;p
Ok is this a movie or a show...and is Starz a part of Showtime and HBO??? Bc I watch Tudors and LOVE these kinda shows! LET ME KNOW GIRL! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHilda: I hate watching shows online too.
ReplyDeleteMandi: Oh yes, very homoerotic (and that is NOT a bad thing!).
Monroe: It's a series (it shows on Friday nights). I think we got Starz as part of a package/promo but I'm not sure which one.
*chills*
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome!! And delicious.
Hannah: You would totally love it. And the brilliance of it is - so would hubs!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Patti...
ReplyDeleteTry popping the "man crush" question in there now..
You never know - Hubs might have mellowed...
They do look hot - and I will also go along with "they are only fighting" as well..
I haven't seen Lucy Lawless in ages..
E.H>
I was wondering where this series was playing...you say Starz? I'm going to go attack, I mean peruse my on-demand listings. I thank you. :) Oh and Xena looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteEH - Brilliant!!! (He actually helped me find that pic!)
ReplyDeleteMar - yes, Starz on Demand has it right now, the season ends in April but they've got what's shown already on demand. And yeah, Xena looks great, you'll love (?) her character!
mmmmhhhhh - I think he has man crush going on...
ReplyDeletePlease report back - when you sneakingly ask him...
No pressure !!!!! much.
E.H>
This looks yummy! Wouldn't call it fighting either ;)
ReplyDeleteEH - We watched it again last night and when I asked hubs, bro, and son why they don't mind loooking at the naked guys, they replied "'cause they're with naked chicks!" LOL!
ReplyDeleteJanna - I prefer to think of it as angry foreplay *wink*
@Patti..
ReplyDeleteDid you see any nekkid chicks in that pic... Nope.
So what ever they want to call it.. I say boycrush...
Let's leave them in their innocent bubble, we know better...
