I got to rent Caligula on Netflix, and actually enjoyed it as well. I went into it imagining it being a porno with a rather elaborate plot, and was not disappointed :D.

Plus, seventies boobs were…_different_ 😉

_Mad Dog Time/Trigger Happy_, which I believe was universally panned. But I own it, and it makes me laugh. I love Richard Dreyfuss in this.

Here’s a link to[Roger Ebert’s 0 stars review](http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19961129/REVIEWS/611290303/1023) (contains…spoilers?).

Yes! I have seen this movie like 8 times. Love it.

I like that John Cougar Mellencamp song from the car commercial that everyone despises. I actually downloaded it from iTunes.

What are neeps? I’m going to guess that tatties are potatoes.
