Was sick today... got nauseous late Sunday night, a little achy, a little feverish. Taking tylenol, taking it easy, spending much of the day in bed.

Excited for HBO's Rome, but they REALLY don't need to have focused it on the end of the Republic. Every damn Rome-based thing made in the relatively recent past is set then or in the first century of the empire, with the exception of Gladiator, which is set in and just after the reign of Marcus Aurelius. I'm so sick of movies & shows about Julius Caesar, his death, etc.

I suspect that it has something to do, at least in part, with film makers wanting to make social commentary by highlighting similarities between the U.S. under its current social and political regime and Rome just the collapse. 'Least, that's why I'd be making films about the fall of Rome, if I were a practicing film maker.
