@pastcineo From memory, Encolpius is offered the chance to have sex with a beautiful woman as part of the culture's festival, but has been cursed with impotence and is unable to "perform". He gets advice from a local hedonist that there is a swamp witch nearby who can cure him, and so he sets out with his friend to find her.

It... doesn't end well.

They are celebrating the feast of the God of Laughter. The nucleus of the idea for this scene is taken from Apuleius' "Metamorphoses", although there a different trick is played on the protagonist. There is a reference in Petronius to Encolpius having been disgraced in gladitorial combat.

Mmmm....George Eastman (aka Luigi Montefiori). He's also great in "Ben & Charlie," "Emmanuelle's Revenge," "Absurd," and his Pupi Avati movies.

@MysticConspiracy Looking back now, I was a bit of a jerk to you in these comments, and you kept your cool despite that. Even 2 years ago, I was old enough that I should have known better than to fall into the trap of Youtube comment drama. Me = twonk :P

And I have to admit, without "giant robot" movies, we wouldn't have "The Iron Giant", and any world without *that* movie is no world I want to live in.

@dasurass Looking back at these comments, I just realised you were saying this to me. In hindsight, yeah, I bit the guy's head off unnecessarily, and to be honest I love "lowbrow" movies too. Hell, I deliberately watch and collect cheesy z-grade movies like "Evil in the Deep" and "K*I*S*S Meets the Phantom of the Park", so it's a bit hypocritical of me to get so butthurt when he expressed his own preference.

For the record though, minotaurs are way more awesome than robots. Just sayin'...
