Kaylee ,'The Message'
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.
At least the first one took place in high school.
A very good point.
I liked the Disney-pop for this musical. It's not musical theater style at all, but HSM isn't musical theater, and going with full-fledged pop allowed them to do some really cool things - the baseball song was simply awesome. Especially in comparison to that terrible basketball song from the first one.
I have big moments of boredom in both. It's very much a do-other-things-while-watching series.
Hee. I just like the music because it makes great shower singing music.
Ang Lee's new movie got an NC-17 rating.
"Lust" follows a young Chinese woman in Japanese-occupied Shanghai during World War II who becomes the center of a plot to seduce and kill a married enemy collaborator. The trailer for the subtitled Chinese-language film shows lead actors Tony Leung and Tang Wei in various states of writhing passion.
The Motion Picture Assn. of America's ratings board cited the film's graphic sexuality for its decision. A source said too many of the film's sex scenes violated the ratings board's unwritten rules (like the number of allowable pelvic thrusts, for example) to make an appeal possible.
Sources who have seen the film said it contains at least three scenes -- one a long montage -- featuring multiple acts of aggressive sexual activity in different positions. There's no full-frontal male nudity (the source of some NC-17 rulings when shown in sex scenes), but male-on-female oral sex, non-S&M restraints and several nontraditional sexual positions are depicted, conveying the aggression and emotional conflict between the main characters.
When asked if anyone was shown, say, upside down, one viewer said, "It depends on where you're standing. They're very flexible."
like the number of allowable pelvic thrusts
How many are allowed?
How many are allowed?
That's the kicker - from what I've read, the ratings board won't say how many, they'll just say too many. Because they are not a censorship board. @@ 4-evah.
I must see this movie to determine exactly how many pelvic thrusts are shown. It's important to know these things.
And it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insay-ay-ay-ayne....
Sorry, sorry.
Bwah! That makes me hope someone goes into an MPAA appeals hearing with their movie and points out the percentage of pelvic thrusts compared to the number in Rocky Horror that still allowed an R rating.
I think you can thrust away as long as you don't have a partner.
Oh man Jet Li and Jason Statham are whaling on each other in theatre #1 right now. I am Swoony McPantypants.
