VDH ping. One of his best as he “connects ALL the dots”.

I knew that Miley’s tongue wagging looked familiar to me but I couldn't get it right.
I now know it reminds me of medieval gargoyles in the ancient cathedrals of Europe meant to remind worshipers of the demons of Hell.
Also Aztec demons of their underworld.
Seems very appropriate....

I imagine Miley will get very “up close and personal” with the real thing alot sooner than she bagains for.
I do hope she sees the error of her ways and takes “proper corrective action”.
I know where she is at and it is possible...with Faith.

Anyone watch the movie FELLINI SATYRICON?
Perversity in ancient ROME almost at it’s worst. Only the movie CALIGULA (the porn version) was worse.

I certainly agree with your sentiments and yes, she deserves the chastisements heaped upon her.
But we also should remind ourselves that this is a young woman with great temptations.
I know I had my rebellious time in my youth that was tempered only with time and, yes getting to the point of “burning out”
I'm lucky I didn't have an national stage to show how big an disaster I made of myself and my life.
As for Billy Ray, I offer him greater “damnation” for he encouraged his daughter in this direction when he “pimped out” his child in those waaay too revealing photo spread.
He, as an adult should have known better...

I have had a passing interest in the rising film careers of the Hemsworth brothers. Liam Hemsworth is dating, or the fiance of, Ms. Cyrus. I’ve scratched his name off the list of character actors whose movies I care to see. How do you see something like this spectacle and proudly say, “that’s my girlfriend?”

Satyricon was a great movie, possibly Fellini’s best. The so-called porn was incidental. The movie Caligula was a crude piece of garbage, with nothing in common with Satyricon other than that they are both set in Rome.
You mean to say its worst, not it’s worst. It’s is the contraction for “it is”.

Haven't even heard of "FELLINI SATYRICON"
Only the movie CALIGULA (the porn version) was worse.
Much to my regret and discredit, yes I am familar with that "film" Bad acting, bad set design bad everything...
But probaly a good description of the depravity of Rome during that time.
I suggest watching "I, Claudius", available at Netflix I imagine, for a better performance piece of that period. It is a British drama series that does have some nudity but not as nearly graphic as "Caligula"
And you will see some old familar faces of British actors when they were young...

I, Claudius I believe that's..."I CLAVDIVS"
To: ROCKLOBSTER
I believe that's... "I CLAVDIVS"
I believe IIRC, in the opening credits, it is written in tile artwork "I CLAVDIVS" as you say but I suggest one uses my spelling to find it on NetFlix.

I did. Fellini portrayed well the decadence, including gay weddings and Arab like pirates slaughtering the parties.
