SPARTACUS ... JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN JUST BLOOD & SAND!
When Spartacus Blood & Sand was in the making, I am pretty sure each actor had to sign a special F.F.N.A. (Full Frontal Nudity Agreement).
Obviously some had no problem sighing it and some did not want to sign it. In fact I believe the special mention 'penis has to be removed digitally' was even added to the gorgeous Andy Whitfield's contract.
Don't believe me!? Go and have a closer look at this image in the gallery below!
On the other hand actor Manu Bennett double signed his F.F.N.A. making sure every other episode he will have a revealing scene.
I have nothing against the acting skills in this series. I am just curious why they are always looking to each other in a very I wanna date you 'in a very gladiator kind of way' instead of just looking angry!?
The two gay characters are now clearly out, even tho it was clear in the last episode (mostly because of the lack of privacy the slave's cages are giving ... see the photos of that particular scene here) But this time they are kissing in front of all the others gladiators ... and once again, nothing against those guys acting skills but I can't decided if the look on their face is:
a) 'Grrrr me no like gay'
or
b) 'Awwww that is so sweet I wish I had a slave/boyfriend too'
I don't know ... you decide!
The big gladiator boss finally dropped his armor to flaunt his scarves but mainly his a-ma-zing body!
As much as I believe that everything is done to reflect a Roman society from that era, I also believe that everything is filmed in a very particular way, fighting scenes are filmed like love scenes, honestly look at those photos if I am not telling you there are fighting what would you imagine!? Trust me if someone had enough free time to do a complete voice over, Spartacus Blood & Sand could be a totally different story ;-)

Equal penis airtime should be the rule!

What I find so interesting is that every instance in which Andy Whitfield might show something the camera moves away to make sure we don't see the equipment. Perhaps he's not as equipped at the other guys, but few would be next to Manu Bennett. There were these stories floating around before the series began that some of the men were feeling inadequate so the producers were considering using a prosthetic penis. Whatever the case, each time I see that bulge Andy Whitfield is sporting in some scenes the first thing that comes to my mind is fake.

that would be the 'Clone tool' rather than the Eraser tool. Just sayin'

frontal shots, though ironic cause in that era the whole roman / greek culture considered circuimsision a form of mutilation.

No I have seen Andy's bulge in jeans he wears outside of Spartucus R.I.P Andy and he seems to be packing! I think Andy did a lot of things because of his wife and children. He seemed like a real stand up guy in his personal life. But you will never know...but that is what makes it exciting. I personally believe Andy had a nice size cock, not to big or small, very thick size. I'm more of a thickness girl not length, no one wants to feel like they are getting a hysterectomy.
