\"HBO's<\/a><\/div>\n

Saw the final episode [#22] of HBO’s ROME<\/a>. It went out w\/ a bang! The previous installment was one of the most erotic, exotic pieces of celluloid ever, featuring a scorching coupling of Marc Antony and Cleopatra.This duo has been classic movie fodder–taken on by the likes of pioneer director, Cecil B. DeMille,<\/a> & the Brangelina<\/a> of their day, Liz Taylor & Richard Burton. It took ROME to turn up the heat, as well as the historical implications, in a new way. The finely crafted last installment (written by co-creator, Bruno Heller<\/a>) had it all:starting w\/ a scene that had an orgy in background, it ended on an epic note w\/ a Triumph–Octavian Caesar’s processional through the streets of Rome. The opening credits alone are worth the price of an HBO subsciption.<\/p>\n

People say to me: “You love ROME; HBO’s OZ<\/a> (the brilliant prison show from unsung genius, Tom Fontana<\/a>), you didn’t find APOCALYPTO too violent. Can’t they soften these things up, aren’t they just too violent?” Only THE SOPRANOS<\/a> seems to sneak by without comment. My response is this: ancient Rome, prison and the Mayan civilization, where human sacrifice was practiced– more violent than portrayed.
\nWE LIVE IN A VIOLENT CULTURE! Do I think the news media, the consumer society, the government, the unending wars, and the new duo of Vince McMahon & The Donald<\/a> are violent? YES, YES, YES!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
