Saw Gladiator 2: Denzel, Pascal, Mescal absolutely smoked it. On another note: it was way more gory than the last one - which maybe speaks to how much more brutal the images are that we regularly see on social media, and maybe that we expect to see.

I write scripts. I'm currently working on a feature spec that has been an idea for about 15 years. The hardest part of writing it is adapting it for an audience who now demand something frightening or adrenaline-pumping happens every 5 mins. It's gratuitous. But modern audiences demand it.
Part of me knows it's just a fun popcorn film and wants to watch it, the rest of me is "Ugh, no thank you!" because the hollywoodisation of Ancient Rome is one of my pet peeves.
We have very wrong ideas about what life was really like back then, thanks to idiotic films and TV shows.
