The movie starts in 45 minutes and I want to know in less than 20 minutes if it has ANY sex at ALL, cause I want to see it with my 12 year old daughter who has seen alien and the terminator 3 and likes scary movies, but i’ll put up with eating guts and brains, but NO SEX!
Yes. Within the first 10 minutes, and later in the movie in the mall.
THANKS Guess Ill see it all by meself
Please tell me this is a whoosh!
I hope you didn’t already promise your daughter you’d take her to see the movie. These kinds of disappointments can traumatize a child for life. Next thing you’ll know she shoots some kids at her school and it’s all because she wasn’t allowed to watch the violent horror movie.
I didn’t go, she likes scary movies (just like her dad). I have been watching scary movies since a very early age and also playing violent video games like quake, soldier of fortune, blood II and have never shoot or have had the urge to shoot anyone. She pretty much realizes these are actors in weird clothes and makeup and knows all of it is a total hollywood fake. I did however, stop her mom from taking it to see the passion od christ, while a powerful and moving film, it is also the most violent, vividly brutal film I have ever seen, and THAT will shock her, cause looks like no hollywood fake, it looks like the God she believes suffered for her, got one HELL of a beating but that’s an entirely new thread Uhmmm… BTW she ain’t 12, she’s almost 14, I just never was good at math.
Sure… you wanted to know if it had sex for your “daughter’s” sake.
Why in the world would this be a whoosh?
Too much bad parenting for it not to be?
No offense, but I think that any parenting comments should be left out of this thread. She asked a legitimate question, gave her reasons (which she certainly didn’t have to), and was promptly answered. Any resulting parenting judgments sound to me of smacking of jackassery.
I dunno, its still quite funny that a movie featuring murderous, bloodthirsty zombies is ok for kids as long as it doesnt have any sex.
How about if we confine it to criticisms of a world view thar has no qualms about graphic violence, up to and including cannabalism, but draws the line at any hint of sex? 'Cause that sound pretty fucked up to me, regardless of wether or not the person holding said views is a parent.
Thanks Munch, but I really take no offense by other people judging me by their own morals or ideas, it’s a big world out there and god only knows what millions of people’s idea of good parenting is, it’s such a personal thing.
However, Maybe Reverse has never seen any of the originals, I have, and I was never frightened or come out of them with dark wishes of killing people, these movies are usually not scary but rather funny and silly, there are many things she can believe in movies to be real, but ZOMBIES? We just wanted to have a good laugh in a science fiction horror flick, and I rather she goes with me than with a friend anyways.
Anyways, I got my answer, and as far as I care this thread is now dead as a zombie If it turns into a moral, parenting classroom, it wasn’t my fault
What Miller et. al. said.
So it’s all right to desensitize your kids to horrific scenes of violence and gore, but God forbid we show people doing something good? I simply can’t believe that someone would think it is all right to expose a child to cannibalism and casual murder while reviling a natural act that as a parent, you have obviously taken part in.
(yeah yeah you could have adopted them…riiight)
FTR my kids have not seen this movie and I would not consider letting them see it. Non XXX sex scenes are fine in my book, in fact they have led to a few discussions with them on sex and its appropriateness.
Honestly, I thought this was a joke! It just seemed like blatant sarcasm, but I guess it wasn’t… Woops.
Indeed, after the Janet Jackson debacle, nothing about morals & double standards in the US should surprise me anymore.
Oh, by the way, go watch the latest South Park episode…
flusyndrome, if you are still checking this thread, you may find this site handy for checking the content of movies.
If you missed it, he said his daughter understands that the violence in movies is special effects and not real thus the concern over two real people looking like they are really having sex vs. a bunch of people in faux gore and green makeup biting people. It’s not like he’s taking his daughter to Iraq for the weekend.
Personally, I’d find it a lot easier to explain special effects to my daughter than having to have the sex talk and explain how actors can dry hump each other.
I didn’t miss it I just called BS on the ability of a 12 year old to distinguish between today’s advanced effects and reality. Still it’s kind of alarming that people are reluctant to talk about something that will ABSOLUTELY affect their children in a very real and personal sense but see no problem exposing them to the kind of horrific trauma that in real life would call for extensive therapy to deal with.
Please direct us to where flusyndrome said s/he is reluctant to talk to his/her daughter about sex.
Sex in movies - graphic, realistic
Zombies - graphic, not quite so realistic
I was referring to Harbourwolf’s comment, not the OP.
Upon review, maybe 14 is a bit better but I still stand by the premise that explicit violence, real or simulated is more harmful than explicit sex, real or simulated. Maybe it’s easier for an adult to laugh off violence but I’m less concerned about adult’s potential embarrassment and/or religious pecadilloes.
