It sure has been a while so...Happy HNT to you!!!
The theme for this particular HNT gets it's inspiration from my new favorite TV show, "Spartacus".
For me, the show has it all....sex, togas and sandals, sex, action, sex, lots of blood, sex, hot women and sex.
I have always been intrigued by ancient (pervy) Rome and anything surrounding it. So, it was with great anticipation that I popped in a preview disc that a friend of mine (who works for the cable company) has. Let me just say that I was very impressed.
Done in a very "300-esque" style, the show has a very artsy way of showing people getting beat senseless, killed and sexed up.I know that it has been on for a while and that I am behind the times but, I don't have STARZ just yet so it was a big treat for me.
Inspired by the show, I decided to break out one of my favorite movies "Caligula".
I LOVE this movie and it's boldness for the times it was made in. Lavishly shot, it had quite a few mainstream actors in it.
Starring Malcolm McDowell as the title character, Peter O'Toole as Tiberius and Helen Mirren as Caesonia, this movie had the potential to be greater than it was.
Too bad Bob Guccione and Tinto Brass couldn't get along...Filled with decadent scenes of torture, rape and group sex, it amazes me to this day that this movie was even made.
Having just recently watched the great Helen Mirren at the academy awards where she was nominated for a Best Actress award, it still amazes me that she was in this film.
The pic above is of her trying to "cure" Caligula's insomnia...Nice...
The sets were outstanding and the costumes were very sexy. While all of the story wasn't historically correct, the costumes added to the eroticism of the movie.And then there were the orgies....
I'm a big fan of group sex so, when looking for a reason why I like this movie so much, the answer is in the orgies and also in the costumes.
Couple that with the A-listers in this movie and you have yourself a "Smovbuf Classic"...
