Yeah, movies are a collaborative effort and most actors are assholes. Pay no attention to the stupid shit that comes out of their mouths or you'll never be able to enjoy a movie again.
Great thread on Rome and Caesar, it didn't help that the elites were to lose all that they gained thanks to Augustus. Caesar was to win enormous gains in his conflict against the aristocracy, but the trouble was that in time he began to compromise and otherwise neglect the people, it was Augustus who was to uphold every promise.
Those like Tacitus partly hated Augustus for ruining things for the elites, when he deprived them of their lands and gave it to the poor, who were to re-establish farming communities throughout Italy. But also in Gaul & Hyspania. In time they integrated with the locals of those regions, and interestingly enough they were to meld with the local Celts of Gaul to form the 'Romano-Celtic elites' that the Francs were to later hunger for the support of. Regarded as wealthy and cultivated, and very, very learned they were what Clovis & his sons hungered for more than anything else (save women). That said, in later centuries the learning and culture of this mixed Roman-Celtique people were to become hugely important to Charlemagne, and then later to his descendents the Capets line of Kings.
So the Roman 'peasants' or 'plebs' who left Italy in Augustus's time to colonize the lands of those who were colonising them were to have a massive impact wherever they went. Those who left for Africa, wind up influencing Rome for nigh on 500 years, with many such as St-Augustine being influenced by them, the likes of St-Paul making contact with many of their communities elsewhere. They also spread to Greece, and were to establish important centres there.
Those 'lazy, Roman plebs' were to become the backbone and most important part of Augustus's Empire. And the fact that he and his wife Livia, and best mate Agrippa relied on them, trusted them and favoured them above all others is why they were revered and why Rome prospered.

Arnold is a fag but Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer are two of my favorite films.
I get that

And yeah, I agree with you. Guy has an amazing resume; for me Total Recall, Predator, and Terminator are all-time greats as well, but Arnold is a real tool now. In fact, he even earned my coveted Harvey Dent Award! https://honestlyre.substack.com/p/the-harvey-dent-awards-arnold-schwarzenegger
