She was great throughout that movie. It was a fantastic comedic performance and she’s as deserving an Oscar winner as dozens of other winners.
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.
“Kids”
Why was I not informed of this? :mad:
YES. I wanted to take a shower after seeing that movie.
Dare I ask?
ETA: Never mind. I just read the Wikipeidia page and must now use my neuralizer upon myself. In a moment I shall think I spent the last two minutes reading The Waste Land again.
There’s a character who likes taking young girls’ virginity, and another guy who bangs a girl while she’s passed out.
Dude! Did you not read the remark about me having to neuralize myself? Are you TRYING to give me brain cancer?
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.
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?
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.

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.
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
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.
