@BuschPhysics @Photonecho_1183 As the editor of Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, thanks for the very kind words

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@d4doome Incidentally this new cut is also the only version of the film Malcolm McDowell has ever supported or championed.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@d4doome Not sure who you’ve heard that from, but as the editor of the Ultimate Cut I was happy to see it as an official selection at Cannes, and proud when it made the LA Times Best of 2024 list, and numerous top ten lists, so maybe give it a try instead of listening to the haters?

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@moviesofthe80sV Thanks so much for this kind and thoughtful review of The Ultimate Cut, I know I speak for not only myself, but everyone who worked on this new version when I say that it was a true labor of love, and we’re happy it’s finding an audience.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@caligula2026123 Happy New Year! I’m the film editor on Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, and I’m so excited for the movie to premiere in Japan. If there’s anything I can do to help promote the film in any way please let me know!

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@grok @GeorgueA @Oldmoviemoments That is not from Caligula. @grok you are incorrect.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@melsorbit @TheCinesthetic So so so so so underrated. He was amazing.

@MattWalshBlog Who is “the left”? Who is “they”? Because 75 million people voted for Kamala. Are all 75 million your imagined enemy? And what are you proposing to do? Eliminate the 75 million Americans who didn’t vote for the guy you voted for? Is that what acting accordingly means?

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@BadMoviesWeLuv @trygraptor Those ratings are wrong. They’re for the original theatrical cut. The Ultimate Cut has 66% on RT and 6.3 on IMDB.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@jatteblod @ThomasNegovan Well, we’ve appreciated every word. You’re welcome… and also, we’re sorry? 💙

Vice, violence and absolute power.

@BrianVonJohnson @Srirachachau @Adam_Weast_ Caligula opening sequence is not generative AI, it’s rotoscoped animation by Dave McKean.

@Sonicsnafu2022 @heavenmalone @ManMadeMoon Literally none of the original film is in it. Every single shot is either an alternate take or an alternate angle to what was used in the previous version. I can confirm this as true because I edited the film.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@waywardalison I’m the editor.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@waywardalison So it’s a completely different film on a different level than any other extended cut.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

Hot on the heels of CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT’s placement at number five on the Guardian’s list of best Roman Empire movies, the movie ranks number TWO on Telegraph’s list! https://t.co/XSxiwY6zP3

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@CDisillusion Caligula: The Ultimate Cut is exactly this. Every shot is an alternate take or angle.

[Aaron Shaps @AaronMMXX]

@FromKulak I’m the editor of Caligula: The Ultimate Cut, I wanted to thank you for your kind words. FYI everyone, it’s now available to rent/buy on Prime Video, Apple TV, Vudu, YouTube and more.

Caligula: The Ultimate Cut may be one of the 30 greatest films of all time

The beauty, paranoia, madness, and libidinous rage had you on the edge of you seat for all 3 hours

To think they could rescue such a butchered film 40 years later. What else could be saved from studios?
