something that is probably just a stretch but still makes me happy is the fact that Misty’s feast updo seems (vaguely) inspired by Helen Mirren from Caligula (1979)




I just feel like this is definitely a movie that Misty’s parents owned on VHS and she would sneak downstairs to watch it just to see Helen over and over again

Caligula, dir. Tinto Brass (1979)
#this has been such a visual splendour so far; I like how much that itself adds to experiencing the hedonism of imperial rule#what it demands of bodies; what it says of them also. you are as much a spectator as anyone else#caligula 1979#film#mine#*film

I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God. Caligula (1979) Dir: Tinto Brass

#emperor tiberius#tiberius julius caesar augustus#the caesars (1968)#i claudius#caligula 1979#ad (1985 miniseries)#imperium: augustus#august: the first emperor#the final inquiry#netlix barbarians#domina sky#tbh andré morell is probably the best#funny thing: peter o'toole got to play both tiberius and augustus#not sure about barbarians tiberius#he seems way too smarmy#the only complaint i have about domina is that “bad Tiberius” personality#ancient rome

CALIGULA (1979)
CALIGULA 1979 film Caligula is a sexual historic film about Roman emperor Caligula. Instead of posting a video clip I went with just posting an image because I’ll get suspended or banned by Mark Zuckerberg. Even though this film contains nudity and sex scenes (including two women going to town on one man), historical content and is considered a somewhat cult classic – this film was a disappointment. The film stars actor Malcolm McDowell (from A Clockwork Orange) plays Caligula. It also stars Peter O’Toole (Tiberius), and Helen Mirren (Caesonia). Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse magazine financially produced the film and Gore Vidal wrote the screenplay. Vidal focused on homosexuality, which led Guccione to demand to tone it down so it can reach a larger audience. Tinto Brass agreed to direct the film if he could rewrite the script, which included orgies and more nudity. Orson Welles was offered to star in the film as Tiberius but refused on moral grounds. Penthouse Pets were cast to appear as extras during the sex scenes. The film started being filmed in Rome, McDowell got along well with director Tinto, however, O’Toole disliked him, Tinto later disowned the film. The sound quality of the actor’s dialogue was poor due to studio noise, which meant most of the actors had to rerecord their dialogue. O’Toole didn’t want a bar of it and did what he could to avoid the filmmakers, the film producers found him in Canada, and eventually were able to rerecord his dialogue. O’Toole had a strong dislike of the film and didn’t think it would ever be released. The film spent such a long time in post-production that those involved also didn’t think it would be released. Caligula was released in 1979 and gained criticism, film critic Roger Ebert walked out during its screening and called it ‘trash’.
