Caligula!

Andy McDowell in "Caligula" (1979)
Some may say I lacked discretion when bringing the film "Caligula" to Barry's party. In my defense, I had very little memory of the midnight showing I witnessed at the Uptown theater over a decade ago. Once again, my apologies to Beth, Matt, Barry, April, and Kirk. Although, I think some of you kinda liked it. Hubba Hubba! I'll say no more, except we got some great nicknames out of the deal.
An excerpt from Robert Ebert's movie review:
"Caligula" is sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash. If it is not the worst film I have ever seen, that makes it all the more shameful: People with talent allowed themselves to participate in this travesty. Disgusted and unspeakably depressed, I walked out of the film after two hours of its 170-minute length. This film is not only garbage on an artistic level, but that it is also garbage on the crude and base level where it no doubt hopes to find its audience. "Caligula" is not good art, It is not good cinema, and it is not good porn.

Okay that's just funny. I have never heard of this movie but I think this is a great venue to portray your movie reviews. Love it!
