Reply #25: Caligula- the unrated version. [View All]

[mulsh]

My dad was a bit of a movie and history buff as was my mom. It was released in simultaneously to stores and theater as I recal. I'd heard about the movie but I rarely read reviews. Caligula was my favorite Ceasar when I was young. Anyway I popped the film in. Mom left in the middle of the first sex scene, Dad followed her shortly after. I made it through the scene where the servant gets filled with wine then sliced open. I ended up watching the whole thing through out the day while my parents were out. Crappy movie, I've felt ambivalent about butter ever since.

A couple of weeks later one of their oldest friends came up to the bay area from San Diego, rented the same version and insisted my mother watch it with him. She never forgave him she made it through the wedding scene.
