|  Nudity in Films http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movi...eut/index.html It's about time someone caught onto the fact that people don't want their movie disrupted by a sex scene. If sex is part of the plot, there are way sto implyu that sex has taken place without showing a soft-porn scene in a perfectly good movie. I'm not anything even remotely resembling asexual, but I can't stand it when a director feels the need to waste 2-3 minutes of valuable screen time for some stupid love scene. Take Terminator. Great flick, IMO (a little violent, but it's an action movie, eh?), but right there in the middle of it, the soldier from the future bangs that chick he's sent back to protect. Not only is it totally unneccessary to show it, but it screws up the plot to where it doesn't make sense. Now . . . in the movie xXx, he gets some, but it's implied. You don't have to labor a dull love scene. He opens the door to a scantilly-clad woman . . . she dances for maybe 5 seconds, he says some one-liner about doing something for his country, and it's over. Back to the shooting/flaming/smashing action flick you paid to see. I, for one, am glad that Hollywood has finally seen the light. If you want to see that stuff, you can get it all day long in its purest form . . . a whole flick of naked folks doing it. It's pretty simple to find and purchase. What we DON'T want is to have our movies come to a screeching halt so the director can include a scene that allows him to see the leading lady topless. I mean, I have NEVER seen a porn where they stopped the action and tossed a quick hand grenade in a nearby trash dumpster or anything. Sheesh. |
