7 people died in that stage collapse.

Question: Has anybody actually watched Pirates 4? 

 

 

Funny thing is that it will likely make more money WW then any film this year apart from 1-2 lol

HBO archive shows are now on Amazon Prime. Sopranos, The Wire, Rome, Deadwood, the first season of Boardwalk Empire and others. Going to start a "First 3 seasons of The Wire" marathon soon

And then the idiot family members tried suing the band, as if it was their fault.

YES.

 

Rome is one of HBO's finest, which automatically makes it one of TV's finest. Too bad it was short lived.

[Godzilla]

Any number above 5M for Wednesday would be great for Godzilla. 4.5-5M is alright.

[DeeCee]

God speed, DAR.

[ecstasy]

YES.

2 seasons. I guess the ratings went downhill. First season was ridiculous though. Woot!

*raises hand*

 

I saw it in theaters and fell asleep for a bit.

It wasn't so much that the ratings were bad, more that the show was too ridiculously expensive to justify.

 

I ship Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo forever.

RE: HBO's ROME

The pilot episode alone was $10m and that was a decade ago. It was a massively expensive show as sets were built to a crazy scale. Then S1 got mediocre ratings, enough to justify canceling it. And then in 2005 something happened that to my knowledge had never happened before and became something of a harbinger. The DVD sales went through the roof. It sat atop the sales charts for months. HBO had already struck most of the sets and some cast members were iffy to return cause they were looking at or had started other projects. S2 began with smaller sets and most of the cast was able to come back but HBO couldn't still, in '07 give the show runners enough foresight to know if they would just get this season or more. Midway through S2 they told them they would be axed again. So they compressed some outlier S3 concepts into the last 4 episodes of S2 which set up the Jews as bigger players. 

 

Long after the showrunner is on record as saying he'd envisioned a 5yr run with the 5th year having the birth of the Christ child. 

I'm too tired/lazy to google it but the links are out there.

Those two, lol.  They were fantastic. 

 

Mark Antony /James Purefoy 

I loved the whole cast Ciaran Hinds, Polly Walker, Lindsay Duncan. 

 

I didn't know what happened to the show. I remember I was so disappointed when it didn't come back.

Wow. Thanks Captain Craig. Didn't know all of that.

It wasn't the ratings, it was the expenses. Season 1 was co-funded by the BBC network and it cost over $100 million because so much of the show was shot on location in Italy, which was incredibly pricey. The BBC pulled out in-between Seasons 1 and 2 and HBO was very reluctant to foot the entire bill on its own, so as Season 2 began production they pulled the plug, forcing Season 2 to cover 14 years of history (over half of it in the final 3 episodes alone). A couple years later, with DVD sales being insane, HBO essentially gave a mea culpa and said in hindsight they should have kept the show.

 

 

The show was good, but it covered too much time too fast. Season 1 should have ended with Pharsalus or Pompey's murder, Season 2 with Caesar's assassination, etc.
