Plus she had her naked rump up in the air, waiting, like some monkey.
It just seemed so…weird. Like, does this seem like something the average audience member is just dying to do? I know, different strokes different folks, but buttsex doesn’t appeal to me at all (TMI!). I’d be like, “princess, I’ll save the world, but we’ll do it regular, kthx”.
The only part of it that’s really a joke is the dialogue:
Eggsy: (opening the hatch on the cell) Aren’t you that princess that went missing?
Princess Tilde: Can you get me out?
Eggsy: Well, if I do will you gimme a kiss? I’ve always wanted to kiss a princess
Princess Tilde: If you get me out right now, I give you more than just a kiss
(developing events prevent him opening the door)
Eggsy: Sorry, love. Gotta save the world.
Princess Tilde: If you save the world, we can do it in the… asshole.
Eggsy: I’ll be right back.
I mean… I’m not opposed to naked butts on general principles, and as naked butts go, hers was a nice one.
In the sequel (which is Highlander 2 level of terrible), they expanded on this joke with an exchange between Colin Firth’s character and Sir Elton John:
If I save the world can I have tickets to your next concert?
Darling, if you save the world you can have a backstage pass.
It’s supposed to be a parody of the end of every James Bond movie where he beds the Bond girl while M/Q/etc. are trying to call him. But instead of some cheesy pun, it’s “yeah, lets fuck now.”
Butt…that would be in the butt, Bort.
Maybe I’m just an outlier.
Absolutely.
In all fairness, it did give us the line “You’re insulting them, and you’re embarrassing me.” which I have occassionally used on Mrs. Cad in a restaurant.
I was going to say the same thing.
To be honest, the scene in Temple of Doom that ruined the film for me started with the Paramount logo and ended with “No animals were harmed in the making of this film.” 
And “ruined” is a bit strong. I still like these films, but I have to turn off my brain while these scenes are on. All Hitchcock:
Rear Window when Raymond Burr is attacking Stewart in his apartment. It is dumb and it goes on far too long.
Strangers on a Train the scene with the carousel and the guy crawling underneath. The footage is speeded up, to the point of looking ridiculous, and it goes on far too long.
Rope When Stewart fires the gun out the window to summon the cops (and it works! How do they know which apartment, let alone which building, to go to?). Ever heard of a phone?
NxNW when Thornhill picks up the murder weapon in the UN. Seriously?
Vertigo how conveeeeniently Judy falls off the bell tower.
“Master of suspense”, my ass.
It wasn’t a specific scene that ruined that movie for me, it was the Willie character, generally. God, she was awful.
that wasn’t from the banquet scene though. It was when they were in the village and the starving villagers were offering them their only food left.
Isn’t that because she sees the nun and thinks she’s the Grim Reaper? Or am I missing something.
Not even a scene, just one word “Midichlorians”
you mean the knife in the guy’s back? He didn’t pick it up, the guy fell into his arms. Cary Grant’s character catches him and the knife is right there. I thought it was a nifty scene.
Not sure about the grim reaper, but, yeah.
My complaint is it cleared up her duplicity without any fallout. Scotty doesn’t have to deal with the conflicting facts that she’s a crook and he’s in love with her. It’s reduced to “oh she’s dead. Oh well. At least I’m not afraid of heights anymore.”
IIRC, Hitchcock really wanted to film Les Diaboliques but was beaten to the punch, so he made a lesser novel by the same author
Yeah, that spoiled the franchise for me. In the first three films, The Force seemed analogous to Zen, with the balance of light and dark, good and evil, yin and yang. One could study and meditate and become ‘enlightened’ enough to use the Force. After the mitochondrians midichlorians, most of the galaxy was denied entry into the religion. The only ones who could participate were only able to do so because of an accident of birth.
I still hate the prequels…
but I just “hear what I want to hear” that midichor..whatever are a measure of a person’s force-sensitivity, not the cause.
Even so they are mixing their science with my mysticism, gross.
It may not have been a deliberate writing choice, but that about sums up the Jedi’s greatest failing, and the direct cause of their downfall. They may not have started out that way, but they ended up in a religion. Especially the celibacy and monk-like parts. WTF does that have to do with anything force-y? And the Sith side is just as lost in mysticism and being the equivalent of devil worship.
To be fair, I used to see the same things in martial arts when I practiced it.
