I'm sure the lawsuit by the Greek Lawyers for Truth, so to speak, is getting buzz. But in Europe, does a homosexual tag hurt or help boxoffice? "That is the question." Probably helps in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels....
What did Margaret fudge?
This alternative weekly newspaper had a review for Kinsey and said that it was "non-judgemental", yet it sounds like much is done to demonize anyone who would speak of morals.
He lives under the thumb of a proselytizing pop (John Lithgow), who believes everything made by man leads to sin -- especially the zipper, which provides "speedy access to moral oblivion." Kinsey's father, we discover later, has his understandable reasons for believing sex a deviant's pastime; Condon, as tolerant and compassionate as his subject, is not beyond trying to understand how a man becomes a monster.[snip]
Among his students is Clara "Mac" McMillen (Laura Linney), who fancies the professor but believes him "too churchy." Theirs is a cool courtship that culminates in wedding-night lovemaking more akin to wrestling than sex. Watching the pain on her face, and the humiliation on his, is almost too much to bear, but Condon doesn't pull back or grimace or, yes, even judge.
The writer claims that the Kinsey's had awkward sex when they both lost virginity on their wedding night. "Certainly" wouldn't have had anything to do with Alfred's preference of male sexual encounters, now would it?
He does count Summer Lovers (with its menage a tois) as one of his 10 guilty pleasures and I think that he has confessed to not being above giving a movie a positive review if he has a crush on one of the actresses.
The "Report" came out in times where few would dispute it due to the stigma of the subject itself.
Actually orchitis refers to inflamation or swelling of the testicals. It does not have to be associated with an infection. Sometimes one can get it as a result of a hernia or forms of cancer. One of the most common infection that causes orchitis is mump and is very uncommon in adult males. If he had an infection it would be nice to know what it was. Men do not usually die of orchitis alone.
I saw this movie at an advanced screening... by Fox Films. I wonder what Rupert has to say?
Talk about perverse. This guy is still regarded as a "pioneer" in the study of human sexuality. He was a pedophile, and a sexual sadist as well.
Yep. IIRC it was called "Quills" and Ebert loved it.
I haven't read an Ebert review for years (I don't go to movies anymore anyway), but when I did go, I found Ebert to be a perfect reverse barometer. If he hated something, I usually liked it and vice versa. It seemed Ebert especially loves that pseudo-arty European "cine" trash. I watched a few promoted as wonderful by Roger the Snob and duly regretted it.
Her "Coming to age in Samoa" was taken as a Holy scripture by agents of change. It is a gross scientiffic fraud, fiction presented antropological facts
A person could usually pick the movies that Ebert would like, before he even said a word.
Probably, "Give me even more money."
