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.
Magic Mike? Seriously?
I'm still waiting for DVD, but...is there a sex scene that's sexy, or is it the stripping scenes?
Of those that made the top ten that I've seen--Bound and...one other that I forgot...Out of Sight! Yes, I agree with those. But the plugins they use were killing my browser, plus dumb page to look at at work, so I didn't give it much time.
Wow, I hadn't read under the text for the tenth film, so I missed that. And those were not the movies I was thinking of, although I could see Wild Things in a top twenty, I guess.
I haven't even heard of some of those movies! Also, wasn't MichAel Pitt Henry in Dawson's Creek. I thought he was horrible in that, but I think being good inDawson's Creek was difficult, since I liked JVDB in one of the crime shows he was on.
Yeah, Michael Pitt creeped me out in some teen performance or another...haven't seen him in much since then.
I remember him in Murder By Numbers, with Sandra Bullock and young Ryan Gosling. He was definitely creepy in that.
I thought the Creepy was still in full force when he filmed The Dreamers. There was a lot of sex in the movie, but none of it struck me as actually sexy.
They're all so young and awkward and posing, though, I think it was supposed to seem sexy to *them*.
The Dreamers seemed painful, apathetic. The juxtaposition of the eggs cooking? Made it seem so clinical. Out of Sight was so much sexy with just a playful stripping scene (and fantastic music). Harvey Keitel rubbing at a hole in Holly Hunter's stocking was far sexier. Sexy doesn't mean boobies showing. Even the scene from Mullholland Drive felt cold to me, mostly because I didn't believe the actresses.
I can't remember what part of Mulholland Drive is supposed to be sexy, but in a way, I can say that for Out Of Sight too--but that's because I thought the whole thing was sexy--I've never seen J Lo do anything worthy of that performance again, and Clooney had everything dialed precisely to pr0n. Those two sizzled for me, no matter what was happening.
For all teh sexy in OoS, I sometimes forget how freaking violent it was at times.
I think that for me, when it comes to sexy in a movie, I think I equate that with erotic or hot, or, for the majority, the anticipation or build-up. So, like, the dance scene in The Horse Whisperer was sexy to me. And Y Tu Mama Tambien was a good call. The nekkidness was there, but so was the physical emotion, totally sold by the actors (or, at the least, the actress).
