New Feature: Q&A with RnB

T-minus-3 on Japan trip, so I'm finding it hard to focus/concentrate/organize (see? I cant even decide between one of those words). I thought I'd try a special feature today - Question and Answer with RnB (my new nickname, I've decided).












QUESTION 1:

"With 'Rome' getting near the end of its run, do you think there will still be time for the full out sex scene between Pullo and Vorenus. Isn't that what the show is essentially all about and leading up to?"

ANSWER 1:

Well, dear reader, "Rome" is definitely homoerotitastic, but I find the show less gay than some. I think Rome is all about the sacrifices we all - from slaves to aristos - make for freedom and power. It is about the Roman empire, so the main theme aint going to be about Man's Community with Nature. I'm sure Rome has something appropriately baroque planned for the end of the series and I'm sure it involves transgressive sexual action.





QUESTION 2:


"I hear you saw the new blockbuster movie '300' this weekend. What did you think?"

ANSWER 2:

Why yes I did, and thanks for asking. I thought '300' was loads of fun. Any subtle sophisticated message was drowned out by men with greased up abs and leather codpieces, but I'm sure the history geeks werent really expecting much more ("Ephialtes was TOTALLY not a freakish humpback!"). I dont think the violence was that bad.


QUESTION 3:
"We hear it was almost 90F this weekend in LA! How did you beat the heat?"

ANSWER 3:
I stayed near the coast for most of the weekend. My favorite quote from the LAT today: "Today we were selling iced banana mochas like they were going out of style". Eew. Iced Banana Mochas are clearly an offense against nature.
