I've never seen it, so I'll get my chance soon. This is good timing, now that my girlfriend is working an extra night. I can watch it without her thinking I'm off my rocker.

They're going to give Salo the Seven Samurai treatment? That my friends is some awesome shit!
Hopefully this time it'll be completely uncut. I heard they were missing about 30s-1min on the original release.

- Reviews from the original theatrical release mention scenes not present in any currently existant cut of the film. One of these is of a young girl stripped nude with hungry rats tied around her genitals; a production photo of this scene serves as the background for one of the menu screens of the Criterion DVD.
- There is rumored to be a 354-minute version.

At any rate, I'm glad that I never spent the big bucks for the first release. I'll be getting this new one.

Salo? Well, I never did own it and refused to be a sucker who would pay $400 for a copy when common sense said it will be re-released at some point. Yeah....count me in.
Just remembered that there are many scenes/themes from films ...that although they sometimes only last a few seconds...outscore Salo's poison by a few touchdowns. One is where a kid is so "into" this girl that he actually digs through her trash, collects old bloody tampoons, arranges them so he can study her "cycle"....and be closer to her. And then eat her leftover scraps. Now THAT almost made me puke. Just the thought of it all. Yuk! (I love it)
Think I need to viddey Salo just to calm down.

At any rate, I always knew that you were a guy after my own heart when it comes to movies.
One of my favourite bands, Cradle of Filth, did a video a couple years back for one of their songs "Babylon AD (So Glad for the Madness)", and it looked to be somewhat influenced by SALO. Fans of the film might want to check it out, it's a quite well done homage.
