There was also an episode that ended with Pepe and the female non-skunk together, her smiling as he says how happy they are, then ending with her trying to saw through her chain.
But… but a man can’t sleep/ when he sleeps with sheep!
Bless your beautiful hide!
Also, another movie that I really wanted to be grossed out by was Holy Smoke with cultite Kate Winslet and her deprogrammer Harvey Keitel.
Seriously, any movie where the heroine feels the need to
wet herself
to get her man should be icky, right?
But it quickly becomes clear that she is holding all the cards, and their strange f*d up relationship ends up doing them both a lot of good in the end.
Are you sure you’re not talking about Secretary with Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader? Because the exact same thing happens in that movie!
I don’t think Secretary counts because their relationship is supposed to be a bit creepy, though you root for them as a couple anyway…
According to the IMDB trivia page, there was a cut ending that had Perkins’ character becoming a 12-year old girl at the end.
Has anyone actually seen this scene? There was some debate about this here, a few years back—supposedly a lesser known but similar-premised movie 14 Going on 30 (from 1988) has a similar ending, and the two may have been confused.
I wonder if the makers of Warner Brothers cartoons were aware that a French skunk is preposterous. Skunks are not native to Europe.
However, there is the European polecat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_polecat), which is actually more closely related to stoats and weasels. And which, curiously, is a remarkably horny beast, walks on two legs, and speaks English with a French accent.
Brain Glutton, I hate to rain on your parade, but we all know that the cartoonists behind the various classic WB cartoons would never ignore reality for the purpose of thier stories.
Pepe does not speak with a French accent, you see. He speaks with a Quebecois accent. See - no warping reality involved. 
But both of you are forgetting what I mentioned in my post: Pepe’s Charles Boyer-influenced French accent seems to be an affectation used to attract females. 
I thought the actual romance in Attack of the Clones was more disturbing. Anakin came across as an obsessed stalker. You’ve been pining away for someone you met when you were wearing Yoda Underoos for 10 years?!?!
Notting Hill was another one that bothered me. Let’s see, nebbish bookstore owner meets movie star, she invites him to her hotel room, treats him like crap when her real boyfriend shows up unexpectedly, comes back to him, dumps crap on his head when she mistakenly believes he tipped off the paparazzi, comes back again, then slags him off to a costar. Finally he grows a pair and ends it, and his friends all tell him, “No way dude, she’s freaking Julia Roberts, you gotta go after her” and he puts his spine and testes back into storage and begs her to forgive him (for what??) and get hitched. That’s romantic?
This one was TV, not a movie, but it was quite the pop culture phenomenon in the early 1980s. I didn’t see any of it, but the whole Luke and Laura wedding from the soap opera General Hospital seemed very distasteful. Rape victim falls in love with her attacker and they wed?? Eeewww!
Doesn’t everybody?
I always defend Attack of the Clones as being a love story between two REAAAAAALLLLYYYYY… f-ed up kids.
Anakin was a slave and then joined a religious sect that denies emotions. And she’s been a politician since she was what? 10? 12? She didn’t start out as a Queen.
These two kids are seriously socially messed up. They have more in common with Punch Drunk Love than with any other love story.

I’ve been out of Spain since September; went home for Christmas, going again next week (tick tock tick tock…). When I was home I saw several mentions in the news and talk shows about how “the women who cross the Straits of Gibraltar pregnant or with infants have often gotten that way as part of the payment (for tickets and border passes at different points).” I figured someone must have made a ruckus about them getting medical treatment, which in Spain is universal (one of our problems with immigration is legal immigrants bringing over every badly-sick relative so said relative can have open-heart surgery or whatever).

I always found High Noon quite strange in the romance/ marriage between the aged Gary Cooper and the young Grace Kelly. I did like Katy Jurado.
Reminds me of my husband’s Uncle Creepy who shacked up with my SIL (his sister’s daughter), and told her he’s been in love with her since she was two years old. Eeeeeeww…
I was a bit bothered at first by the relationship between Marlon Brando and the French girl in Last Tango in Paris. But it eventually grew on me. Even though she was an experienced adult, he was obviously the dominant one in the relationship, and there was an innocence about her that just didn’t fit in the nameless-get-your-rocks-off-sex-every-day scenario.
Blade Runner is one of my favorite scifi movies of all time, but that “love” scene between Deckard and Rachael was rape. No two ways about it.
I see it after all these years, and I still wonder what Ridley Scott was thinking when he left that scene in. It did nothing to further the movie, and it looked so badly out of place.
I think it counts, because it’s way creepier than it was meant to be. The whole bathtime scene…yuck!
Not only that, but he was her stepbrother too. Yikes!
I had a different take when I saw Blade Runner. When Deckard “rapes” Rachel, she was no more than a sophisticated sex doll to him since she was a robot, and the scene showed that. Later, however, he comes to realize that the replicants may be more than that, and his feelings toward Rachel change.
In this light, the scene is important in showing Deckard’s emotional evolution.
For a laugh, check out this Greyhound promotional film in which two young women are traveling across the country by bus. One of them is a stilted schoolteacher who ends up being successfully wooed by–yes you guessed it–a Texas rancher.
