Empire falls

I can’t tell if this project is closer in quality to HBO’s splendid Rome, or ABC’s god-awful Empire. It’s encouraging that Rome’s Kevin McKidd is part of the cast. That’s a good sign, at least.

Either way, I’ll go watch it. (Yeah, that’s right - no Kong for me, but I’ll see this piece of historical butchery. Draw your own conclusions.) I enjoy Roman crap, and the era covered in The Last Legion is one not often dealt with on film, as far as I know. Sounds like they’re taking some cool dramatic license with Romulus Augustus’ life.

Bring on the barbarians!
