Well coined, oh Scrappy.

Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Was it just that they showed nipple? Or did they cut the original sex scene?
I suspect part of it was due to Butler being obviously if tastefully nude in the lead-up scene, with nary an L-shaped sheet in sight. Also, the high contrast close-up camerawork really underscored that yes, women actually do have pores and fine body hair, regardless of most movies' attempts to portray their skin as glassy-smooth.

It's Mal's mom! Apparently I'm only bothering to read the first letter on anybody's name today.

Butler being obviously if tastefully nude in the lead-up scene
A very worthwhile shot, by the way. If I'd gotten into the shape he got into, I would have demanded a well-lit nude scene.

You two should be a rap duo like early Salt N Peppa.

WRT extremely disturbing movies, I couldn't watch Ichi the Killer and had to turn it off after about five minutes. It wasn't jurt that the first scene featured a graphically violent rape, but that another character watched it happen through a window while whacking off that pushed it into unwatchable territory for me. (appologies for lack of white font, I'm posting from my phone)

Well *that* killed the thread nicely.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Raq n Robin--too cool!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You all are making me want to see 300. Which I didn't. But now you've gone and mentioned nudity and sex.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Sean, you'll be happy (for your own sake) to know that the opening was MILD compared to where ICHI went from there.
No, seriously. I still haven't watched the whole thing, but I figure the hot-oil/man-called-horse torture scene (against a male, but still yeeeeeech) would be enough to put most people off.
Sadly, the only reason I have to have not finished the movie was exhaustion, not disgust. But there are some meta reasons I needed to own and (some day) watch that movie.
