Weren't mosaics generally a Byzantine thing?

Weren't mosaics generally a Byzantine thing?

Yes and the rest of the Empire.

Weren't mosaics generally a Byzantine thing?

It's a staple of Roman art since the Republican era, following Greek models.



"Cave canem", a "Beware of the dog" mosaic from Pompey.

That dog looks kinda small for guard duty.

[viper37]

Isn't she literally crazy?

I have no idea.  I've never met her nor spoken to her.

[Sheilbh]

That dog looks kinda small for guard duty.

The floor is very, very large

[Eddie Teach]

I mean it's shaped like a smallish dog.

Grumbler, failing the communicate cooperatively is getting old, even for you.

Read his question again, and read my answer.  In what way was I not answering his question? 

[Eddie Teach]

There was an implicit challenge for you to name one.

Grumbler, failing the communicate cooperatively is getting old, even for you.

Read his question again, and read my answer.  In what way was I not answering his question?

While one could interpret his question in its narrowest most literal form just to be a dick, it was clear he was asking for an example.

Clueless was a very early/mid 90s movie though. I guess it kicked off the trend.

Yeah - I think it and Romeo + Juliet (which I also love) really kickstarted the trend of teen movies that are adaptations of "classic" literature.

Valley Girl riffed off Romeo + Juliet. Clueless was a product of the 90s and really only belongs in that time bubble of optimism.

Clueless was a riff on Emma from Jane Austen.

So there's a new Borat movie coming, and Mike Pence is in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rsa4U8mqkw

[The Brain]

So are we not gonna mention that Clueless is Emma???

Clueless is an awesome movie.

[Josephus]

There's a Borat 2 and it's coming out on Amazon.   

I mean, Sasha Baron Cohen's gotta eat so I don't begrudge him, but it seems like that's a concept that's played out.

Although I do remember just howling at a couple bits from the original.

meh...never really cared for that style of humour.
