The oral sex scene in _A History of Violence_ was pretty cringe-inducingly bad. ---

In _Alexander_, the honeymoon scene between Alexander and Roxane (played by, respectively, Colin Farrell and Rosario Dawson) is pretty ridiculous, with the two characters snarling and biting and growling at each other as they shift back and forth from fighting to lovemaking. It is, nevertheless, the best scene in the entire movie. A naked and sweaty Rosario Dawson is insanely hot. ---

There was a short scene in _Putney Swoop_ that invoked loud “ewws” from the audience. ---

The gender-bending alien in _Liquid Sky_ gets a blowjob in a disco bathroom, IIRC. Sorry, but I’ve really tried to force the entire movie out of my mind. That was just one terrible scene in an hours-long series of them. Gah, I hate that movie. ---

I never really understood what was so ghastly about _Kids_ that makes it provoke such a strong reaction in people. Maybe it’s because I’m roughly the same age as the characters but I found it pretty damn realistic. If the movie shocks you, real life should blow you away. Plus, I thought it had a pretty good message. ---

Maybe it’s because I’m roughly the same age as the characters but I found it pretty damn realistic. If the movie shocks you, real life should blow you away. Plus, I thought it had a pretty good message. Um, Rosario Dawson and I are pretty damn close in age and I can tell you that my real life was NOTHING like that. My friends and I didn’t do drugs and pass AIDS around to people and rape our friends when they passed out or anything that happened in that movie. If “real life” is like that for you I feel really, really bad for you. ---

Going by Wikipedia’s description of the plot, I would say that **Kids** was someone’s attempt to depict gritty realism by portraying a bunch of people who one would cheer to see beaten or shot. Where’s police brutality when it’s really needed? ---

My friends and I didn’t do drugs and pass AIDS around to people and rape our friends when they passed out or anything that happened in that movie. If “real life” is like that for you I feel really, really bad for you. No need to condescend to me. No one I knew had AIDS but the drugs, sex, alcohol, tobacco, the filthy language, fighting, sneaking into pools we weren’t supposed to be in, etc, was all part of growing up. The rape . . . I think it’s horrible and I don’t condone it whatsoever, but you’re fooling yourself if you don’t think it happens all the time in every town across America. I can right now think of 4 people I went to high school with who have been to jail for statutory & date rape - not friends, just classmates, mind you - and it’s been over 5 years since I checked on the internet or heard any hometown gossip, so I’m sure that’s a low number. And I didn’t grow up in a bad town at all. I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands of people who grew up in ghettos who could tell stories that would make me and the kids from _Kids_ look like cherubim. I could just as easily say I feel sorry for you for living such a sheltered life. ---

> [@Tom\_Tildrum](#): > > Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet in _Angel Heart_. spoiler: You have to remember that he was murdering her at the same time, and it’s not until later we find out that she was his daughter. It was rather disturbing, but I don’t think it’s a bad sex scene…just very graphic and WTF is going on-type shots. ---

Leaving Las Vegas Elisabeth Shue comes out of the bathroom wearing nothing except a black leather miniskirt and a lacy black bra. She tells Nicholas Cage he can do anything to her- fuck her ass, cum on her face… “just try not to cum in my hair.” She kneels down and starts going to town on him. And what does Mr. Cage do? He falls asleep! The camera work in that scene was no good either, with no shots of Elisabeth’s wonderful leather-skirted behind as she was going down on him. She doesn’t want to show her boobs (she keeps the bra on) and you can’t really film her face so what shot should we go with? How about a shot of her back from the waist up? Yeah, that’s way sexier than her ass in tight leather! ---

_Harold and Maude_. Actually, I don’t think there was a hard-core sex scene in that movie, but whatever it was I’ve blotted it out. Mostly. ---

> [@Stink Fish Pot](#): > > A fat, disgusting, pig of an actor. Not only is PSH one of my least favorite actors, (and I’m not convinced that he is straight, which makes the whole thing worse), his fat, sweaty tub-of-goo body was ramming my former cinematic fantasy girl from behind. I guess I can see how his possible gayness would be upsetting: Him getting the privilege of thrusting up against Marisa Tomei’s soft butt cheeks and not even enjoying it. It’d be sort of like seeing George Clooney ramming someone like Rosie O’Donnell ---

It’d be sort of like seeing George Clooney ramming someone like Rosie O’Donnell Eh - if it makes you feel any better, I doubt he’d enjoy it very much even if he were straight. My understanding is that sex scenes, as a rule, aren’t much fun to film - they’re awkward, _very_ carefully rehearsed, and a general pain in the ass.
