Spartacus

I've just had Direct TV installed at my house, so I expect to be watching more cooking shows than movies in the coming days!

However, I did finish Spartacus, the film about the leader of the Roman slave rebellion.  It was...really long.  Just over three hours.  Kind of weird to think this was directed by Kubrick.  Kirk Douglass, the star, had an incredibly stoic face and a weird chin dimple.  I enjoyed the scenes in the Roman senate and the alluding to the future Julius Caesar...but I do like history.  The "oysters and snails" scene was also pretty intense.

The close up of the dude in the above scene was pretty harrowing.
