I think Cronenberg has already covered that outcome

Unbelievably, we're 50% of the way to the stretch goal after *that*!

But we're in the final ramp up. There are only 43 hours left to back Designers & Dragons: Origins.

Who knew that The Human Centipede would turn out to be a perfect allegory for Wall Street.

Two (or more) contradicting stories of one myth is peak Glorantha

This was way back in 1978, so RuneQuest players could have something to play as a hobbit equivalent. Ducks were first depicted in art by Jennell Jaquays as cover art for issue #8 of the Chaosium house zine Wyrm's Footnotes (1979).

The new cut is still violent, weird and grotesque, and absolutely not for everyone, so approach with caution, but Caligula is now a much more coherent film and better for it.

The costumes and set design is both ridiculous and perfect. It is really far from historical accuracy but it suits the theme of decadence and moral collapse perfectly.

So is it a good film? I honestly don’t know. The new cut is definitely an improvement and reveals an interesting movie that despite its huge flaws. But its almost 3 hours running time is at times horribly self-indulgent. It could easily be cut 30 to 50 minutes for a much better paced movie.

No, they only took out the hardcore porn. There’s still plenty of sex and nudity. The porn scenes were film after the official filming had ended and were added without the wishes or knowledge the director and cast. It was purely an exploitative decision.

The acting is very stilted and the delivery of the lines are just as much directed to the audience as the actors in the scenes. This gives the impression of a stage performance that takes some getting used to but also sets an interesting atmosphere that somehow works. At least for me.

Through all the porn has been taken out, it’s still a very horny movie – it is Tinto Brass after all.

Wow, the opening sequence is made by Dave McKean!
