Stupid epic Roman period films — it’s like a two-hour excuse to allow the actors not to bathe for three months and shoot a bunch of decapitation scenes. Jesus.

Oh wait. That’s awesome. Apologies.

Here’s the trailer for Centurion, and if the fact that Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers) wrote and directed the film doesn’t get your bits in a tingle, then how about this: Michael Fassbender, McNulty (Dominic West), and “Doctor Who’s” Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke) all star in it.

Truthfully, I don’t typically care for these types of films, but man o’ man alive, as the hyperbolic movie bloggers with a limited vocabulary often like to say, this movie looks epic.
