Le Tour, Rome and Heroes
Jul. 13th, 2007 03:10 pmDear Vino, I know you always have one cruddy stage per tour, but did you have to fall off your bike quite so spectacularly. Although at least you're better off that poor Kloeden. A sore cocxyx is the last thing you want when you're riding a bike.
Something that interests me about Rome is that, unlike a lot of shows, our heroes are earthy, they're interested in food and drink and sex and there's mud and grime and gore, so in order to separate people out they've had to do the opposite of what's usually done. Usually if a character in a programme or film expresses anything like an ejoyment of the pleasures of the flesh then they are automatically a bad guy. In this our heroes love these things so the least human characters are shown to enjoy them less e.g. Octavian, who's two sex scenes have both been fade to blacks, which is odd in this show, and he's about the only male character we've never seen kill someone.
It intrigues me.
Heroes - after they show the trailer for the next Rome they've been hyping up Heroes, which may well be replacing it in the schedules. I am very intrigued by the trailer.
