re: About to watch Caligula

I finally sat down and tried to watch this a few weeks ago. When looking at the sets and hearing the music and the characters' lines I had to keep reminding myself that it was the 70's (like the full, unbridled bushes weren't a giant, hairy clue), but I just couldn't make it past the part where Caligula first starts having episodes of craziness. I think the chick running the barbed wire through her cootch was the final straw for me on the Uncomfortableness scale.

Also: Helen Mirren had a nice rack.
