I LOATHE it when you watching cinema and suddenly it becomes skineama. I LOVE nudity in films and look forward to it if ‘warned’ that a movie staring a particularly attractive woman contains nudity. What I HATE is seeing two actors humping on each other, making the beast with two backs. They can leave that to our imagination.
I loved the movie “300”, but did NOT need to see King Leonidas doing Queen Gorgo doggy style (I laughed out loud at the tawdriness of it). All I wanted or needed to see was Lena Headley and Gerard Butler get naked together (hopefully full frontal on Lena) and a good standing butt shot of her leading him to bed; then fade to black. We know what happens in the bed and don’t need to see it.
Just my opinion. Save the soft core for skinemax movies, show us how gorgeous the actress you casted for the role is naked, then show the actors hopping into bed; and that is all that is needed and anything more is gratuitous.
I agree. I think suggestion is much better than watching the “real thing,” anyway. Face it - the act itself isn’t exactly aesthetically attractive, and I honestly can’t think of any situation in which it is necessary for a movie to actually show it.
IMHO, the mandatory sex scene stops the action and is just thrown in as a bit of sensationalism; however, it’s gotten so routine now that it doesn’t even create a sensation anymore. In other words, it serves absolutely no purpose.
