There’s a saying worth remembering: “Hit movies will only ever tell studios one thing: ‘More like this, please.’”
Probably not as objectionable to them as they let on.
Give the people what they want.
Acting is just another form of prostitution. You sell yourself for money. Hayek is a beautiful woman and was highly paid to display her body on camera. She could have chosen another career path. Her father was an oil company executive and her mother an opera singer. She can’t claim she was forced into disreputable work in order to support her starving family.
My gripe is not sex scenes in themselves, profanity and other crudities. It’s that the material goes in front of kids.
Adults have forgotten about the kids in the audience.
All ‘R’ movies should have nekkid titties, its what they All used to have.
PG is for kids, leave R alone to show the nipple, soft porn.
Bring back the 79s movies!
This was from the next movie after Desperado:
Best scene, ever.
bread and circuses.....
They push the envelope nowadays, with nudity ajd profanity.
There was a time when bedroom scenes wouldn’t be shown. They might be hinted at, but not shown. An example is the movie ,”A Thousand Clowns,”,in which the woman love interest of the Jason Robards character was still there with him the next morning, but they never showed them in bed together. They didn’t explain why she was there the next morning, it was just implied she spent the night.
Or in Urban Cowboy, John Travolta went to the apartment of a lady, they had her open the door to her bedroom, and that was the end of the scene. It was pretty darn clear that they were going to go to bed together, but they didn’t show John and the lady in bed.
Cancelling sexual attraction is right up there with declaring a man is a woman. Sexual attraction is innate. It’s genetic. It’s hard wired.
But that never stopped a leftist from trying to corrupt it with their science denial...
Did Hayek cash her paycheck?
RE: Did Hayek cash her paycheck?
Of course. You don’t expect her to do it for free do you?
She claims she had a problem with the snake, too.
You are so right, and so sensible in your post.
Everyone of us is here as a result of hetero-sexual sex.
Sex is beautiful when 2 individuals love each other.
There is good sex and bad sex. The worst sex involves sadism.
I am much more disgusted watching people getting shot or stabbed in movies than a sex scene involving a hetero-sexual couple in love. And we have ratings system, so any R rated movie should be a warning to parents to keep children away.
My impression is that actual nudity in mainstream hollyweird movies is way down from a few decades ago. Desperado was in the mid 90s I think? Probably just doesn’t serve the purpose it used to with on demand free porn available to almost everyone.
