Outspoken (and typically right-on-the-money) movie columnist David Poland switches gears to the small screen, declaring that “what Deadwood is to cursing, Rome is to graphic sex…endless, graphic nudity and sex.”
Still not interested? Try this endorsement: “Remember when Polly Walker was just sexy? Now we’ll all be expecting her and her 40something implants to have sex with a live animal by episode 3.” (Not sure how implants have sex with anything, let alone a live animal, but hopefully HBO will show us.)
Sort of a backhanded compliment, as the IMDB lists Ms. Walker’s age as 39. But maybe that’s in Lena Headey years.
Anyway, Poland’s readers proceed to suck all the fun out of the issue by turning the post into a discussion of whether or not HBO programming sucks now. Which it does, but who cares? We wanna talk T&A!
