Only in Italy


It is my firm belief that the Italians do just about everything better than everyone else. They make the best movies, the best cars, the best furniture, the best fashion, the best food and, in a story from Hollywood Reporter too strange to pass up, apparently soon, the best porn too.

Yes, director Tinto Brass plans on making not only the first 3D Italian movie, but the first 3D porn flick as well. The ambitious 76 year old filmmaker is most famous for helming one of Hollywood's biggest disasters in Caligula in 1979. The film was criticised as being big, dumb and violent. It is also the most expensive porn movie ever made. Brass himself, in an act that doesn't make much sense to me considering Brass' career trajectory, has often criticised the film after hardcore sex scenes were edited in during post production without his consent at the request of Penthouse Magazine, the film's producer.

The story of the new film is apparently a reference to Caligula, but really, will anyone be seeing this for the story? Come on, you can be honest.
