This is in no way breaking news, but if you've been laying awake at night thinking about that Caligula "remake" "trailer" we told you about a few months ago and desperately wondering what those screencaps looked like in all their full-motion glory, then today is your lucky day. Yes, this short film/art project is a bit dated now, but since it only screened at the Venice and Whitney Biennials and all we've had for you so far is a bunch of publicity stills, we're guessing most of you still haven't seen the full version of Francesco Vezzoli's genius "Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal's Caligula," complete with Karen Black's screams, masturbating slave boys, dildo-slurping courteseans and a bizarre Courtney Love soliloquy. Remember that despite its title, there is no actual remake: this is the whole movie, and as long as YouTube doesn't get uppity about a few stray boobies (it is, after all, Art), you can watch it all right here. The ancient Romans would be so proud.
