You know what to do. This year I'll even let you have a cinematic alternative or two. Do you prefer vintage eye candy or the golden boys of the present? Note: Clooney's flick isn't about Julius Caesar per se, but it is about corrupt politics and inner turmoil and betrayal, which explains the title all too well. (I'll post a movie review later when I'm not buried under schoolwork.)
Oh, and if you still haven't ever seen the young Marlon Brando's "friends, Romans, countrymen" speech over the body of Caesar in that 1953 film, I'm telling you to drop everything and remedy that gap in your cultural education immediately! (Alternatively, you might get a laugh out of this clip from the 2004 flick Mean Girls.)
So enjoy the Ides, gentle reader, but ... Watch your back!
