Yeah, and I'm a fan of the Oxford comma, which gets me in quite enough trouble.  Style, I suppose, is relative.

Fair enough - although I think "nominally" would have fit better, but that's just my own sense of style.

You got me on "principles" (which I hypercorrected - twice).  But "nominatively" is correct.

Edit:  And I'm not a coffee drinker.

This was only nominatively a Kubrick film (he disowned it later).  It was primarily a Kirk Douglas film, hence the selection of C, which gives the principles the chance to totally ham it up.

in a Kubrick film, you choose C - obviously!

I still don't get why Spartacus and Antoninus agree to try and kill each other at the end.

Your enemies have captured you. There's no question that you're going to die. They give you and your best friend weapons and tell you that if you fight to the death, the survivor will be gruesomely executed.

Do you

a) say "That sucks. No way will I fight my best friend, jerkwads. Do your worst!"

b) say "Thanks for the weapons, jerkwads. Now we can go down fighting and take a few of you to hell with us!"

c) say "Okay. I will now kill my best friend and condemn myself to a slow, painful death."

 Yes! That's him, right over there. I am not now nor have I ever been Spartacus. But he is! Seriously, he just admitted it. Ask anyone - he's TOTALLY Spartacus.

Looking forward to the annual Easter showing of Spartacus on KTVU Ch. 4 (bay area) tomorrow at the usual time. 

I hear ShamWow! is having a sale on late night TV this week. I make all my ceremonial regalia form the stuff. It sews easy, is cheap, and after soaking up some spilled tea and coffee, why, it looks just like authentic buckskin when dry!
