• Watch: a new edit of Guccione’s disastrous “Caligula” is in the works — For a horny teenager in the ‘80s, Caligula was a hard slog. Guccione’s version was a mess… not arty enough when it’s being arty, not dirty enough when it’s being dirty. I’m curious to see what can kind of zombie can be raised from its remains.
• ‘History of the World, Part II’ Is Mel Brooks Meets ‘Kroll Show’ — I loved Mel Brooks as a kid, but I have no idea what to make of this.
• Tennessee Ex-Cop Sues, Claims She Was ‘Groomed’ for Sex With Coworkers
• The US Marshals Service suffered a data breach and ransomware attack — Could have been worse. And eventually, will be.
