HBO's "Rome" sucked! - GoFuckYourself.com

Victor-E · 08-29-2005, 02:05 AM

I kept watching it, hoping to get better but it never did. They got an army of untalented, anemic, pasty face actors playing the part of B.C. Roman gladiators with thick British accent and thin, flabby arms. The story line is bland and the dialogue is even weaker than the actors. What a let down after 6 Feet Under.

thanks for saving me some time

the source · 08-29-2005, 02:06 AM

I concur.. it was weak like fuck.. I gotta give it another couple episodes tho.. I mean its HBO afterall!

detoxed · 08-29-2005, 02:19 AM

6 feet under is boring

TetsuoIronMan · 08-29-2005, 03:17 AM

I was really looking forward to that one! HBO usually produces some great stuff.

Btw anyone seen "Over There"? Not sure if or when it will make it to 'over here'. War dramas are such great sunday afternoon hangover cures.

reed_4 · 08-29-2005, 04:37 AM

i haven't seen it yet, but i would still.

SinisterStudios · 08-29-2005, 04:56 AM

I agree i was expecting alot more, it was quite boring

TehKinkyHotness · 08-29-2005, 06:07 AM

saw that coming.

cjaccardi · 08-29-2005, 07:22 AM

It was not to bad not exciting opening though the fight scenes were extremely bland and the use of british actors and dialect a horrible idea

EroticySteve · 08-29-2005, 07:28 AM

Unfortunately there is only one more episode of Entourage to follow Rome. The best part of Rome was in fact Entourage directly following it.

EroticySteve · 08-29-2005, 07:30 AM

Fortuantely there will be Deadwood again soon. New episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm are only a few weeks away. Sopranos should be back this winter too.

JUSTB · 08-29-2005, 07:31 AM

I'm holding out for Curb your Enthusiasm and Deadwood.

Jace · 08-29-2005, 08:16 AM

yeah, i fell asleep during that shit, it was pretty boring

HammerALL · 08-29-2005, 08:33 AM

That really sucks - I was really looking forward to it - they hyped it up like Gladiator - shit oh well.

BigCashCrew Dude · 08-29-2005, 08:36 AM

yeah, it was pretty boring to say the least

wvuatl · 08-29-2005, 10:02 AM

it would have been interesting if that kid banged his mom when she was naked in the hot tub

Uh, ok.

SilverTab · 08-29-2005, 10:14 AM

I watched half of it and fell asleep

The british accent really got on my nerve (No offense, I love the british accent in movies like Snatch etc...totally cool...but in HBO's Rome?? why..)

SilverTab · 08-29-2005, 10:17 AM

Anyone going to watch Prison Break tonight???

I just finished watching the 6 OZ seasons (didnt really got into it when it was airing)...I have to admit it was a fucking great prison drama...except for the last season...which sucked....

not sure what to expect with Prison Break...

Yes because using AMERICAN accents would have been more authentic.

koreanbbque · 08-29-2005, 10:29 AM

i thought it was ok... the next epsiode looks a lot more interesting.

here's a clue: Romans didn't speak english....

doesnt matter which accent you give them....it's an american show....they could be using american accents...

But it sounds like you want the show to be as authentic as possible so perhaps they should be speaking latin?....

axelcat · 08-29-2005, 10:44 AM

the previews looked really bad

Dirty D · 08-29-2005, 11:43 AM

"Rome" sucked ass....

HBO series usually ROCK, but I could not get into this one.
Fell asleep

I couldn't care less. I'm saying to bitch about ROMANS not speaking like AMERICANS instead of BRITISH is stupid. PERIOD. Just wondering, did anybody here get upset that main character in Gladiator spoke in an AUSTRAILAN accent? no. Hmmmmmmmm.

wildgirl · 08-29-2005, 11:55 AM

huh where did I said that only american were allowed to watched the show??? Are you saying that... because they have a british accent, only british can watch it??? So if they had american accent, therefore, british can't watch it?

You're kinda digging too deep...I said the british accent was annoying me...(and i'm not the only one who mentioned it in this thread) that's all...don't try to put things in my mouth...

You're the one who came to this thread with the "authenticity" arguement...fact is, they dont speak english in rome...

wvuatl · 08-29-2005, 12:06 PM

This could be the reason for British accents:

A co-production between HBO and the BBC, ROME is one of the largest co-production deals ever by the BBC for an American series, and marks the first series co-production of the two networks. HBO and the BBC previously partnered on the 2001 miniseries "Band of Brothers," which won six Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Miniseries.

What I meant is they need to kick up the debachary to live up with what I think the "Roman Times" were like.

I'm definitely going to wach it, but it seems like a very limited premise. That and Reunion both seem limited in what they can do and the depth they can have.

Fox needs to bring back shows like Strange Luck, John Doe, Firefly...

HBO needs to bring back Carnivale.

.

hmm I just read the show description on TV.com...seems like you are right about the limited premise .... thought it would be an all-out prison drama like Oz...

digi · 08-29-2005, 01:39 PM

I havent seen Rome but I just wanted to say that americans make awsome movies / shows dealing with american history but every time you guys try to deal with history other than your own it sucks.
