People shit on the lack of original movies, then a studio like Disney releases a bunch of new original movies and nobody watches them. Just about every original film released by big studios bombs, then people wonder why they don’t do em.
Bernie supporters when Bernie tells me to vote against trump
“NAH!”
Bernie is all talk, no action. We need young blood who is actually effective
Lego is great for the elderly as well. And patients suffering from Alzheimer’s. So yeah I’m gonna be in a retirement home doing Lego and playing video games
Because Americans are stupid and easy to play
Excuse me sir, Lego is never irrelevant. My wife had to stop me from buying more cause I got about two Rubbermaid full of pieces and figures. I use them to make scenes for the season or holidays
Looks like a screenshot of one of those simulator games I get hooked on
When he laughs in the trailer I just picture training day. I’m gonna watch it, the first is one of my top 3 movies, so I’m cautious.
I actually think he’s the most distracting part of the movie. He doesn’t fit. He behaves every modern
He was half Roman half Phoenician which was a Semitic people, so problems swarthy and tanned. There was one called Philip the Arab, who was born in an Arab province, but I don’t think his ethnicity is known. Trajan was an earlier Emperor so the fact that he was a Spaniard provincial and not Italian was a bit of a scandal at the time.
Ex slaves, sons of slaves and other ethnic peoples could climb the ranks of Roman society and get pretty rich and respected in their own right. But there was always a ceiling for those seen as outsiders, Even in the military.
The first movie was historical fiction (if anything they toned down Commodus and his brutality in the movie) but once you do something like make the Emperor black, now it’s complete fiction. And it does matter, otherwise we wouldn’t have issues with white actors playing roles that should go to people of color.
It’s too jarring to my historian heart I think. Like a white as fuck John Wayne playing Genghis Khan
What’s with Hollywood making a character black even if it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. A black Roman Emperor? Really? The Romans were not that progressive. It feels so forced.
It’s like the producers heard emperor Macrinus was from Africa and they’re like “oh he was black!” No he was a Roman provincial born in Africa. He was not of African descent. It reminds me of that Cleopatra documentary. A complete ignorance of northern Africa and it’s ethnic populations, considering to this day northern Africans are not ethnically black.
Why not just make a movie about George Washington and hire Morgan Freeman?
Anyways, it’s weird when Hollywood race swaps. And as someone who loves roman history, the whole thing is really distracting.
I used to work at a book store at the time it released, it was very popular. You expect a stage play to be more upbeat I guess, but basing the movie on the play based on the book, sounds like a complete miss
It’s crazy that a movie like this can cost more than the price of the entire Lord of the rings trilogy
What’s worse is that it was in no way made public that this was a part 1.
I was so psyched for that movie, but when I found out it was a part one, I lost interest and still haven’t seen it
It’s cause it’s been photoshopped. It doesn’t actually look that way
Were those books even good? I always thought the character outgrew its source. I never heard they were more than fairly straight forward spy novels but nothing special
Yeah coffee shops even are crazy where I live. $8 for a latte the other day
It’s amazing when they do though. Fargo is 90 minutes, I love short movies that are just so good
