“We don’t see them having sex but he does take my shirt off,” Perkins, 60, tells Page Six. “Actually, I take my shirt off and he touches my breast, then we cut to the elevator door opening and he’s got a big smile on his face. We never say, ‘Oh they slept together,’ but they definitely fooled around.”
In the 1988 comedy, a teenage boy finds himself in the body of an adult (Hanks) following a carnival wish. Naturally, he finds a dream job in New York City and even snags a girlfriend — played by Perkins.
Nowadays, she says, “they wouldn’t have shown that at all. I think we’re in a different time.” And, for the record, “I’m totally on board with that.”

**In Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, Juliet says she is “not yet 14”***
Made in 1969, it was rated “R” for a flash (and I do mean a flash) of her nipple. Blink and you will miss it.
I believe it has been re rated as PG today.
But then, in 1969, the Jim Brown movie RIOT was also rated “R”. I believe it is now PG-13.
On the other hand, HEAVEN WITH A GUN was released with a “G” rating. Shown on TV a few years back it would have been rated a heavy “R” version, probably the European release.
Emmanuel Macron Syndrome
I very much dislike that phrase, because typically very little sleeping is involved!
“Have a seat over there”
Forgot all about that one. So many movies back then couldn’t be made today.
Yep, Vacation is another good example. Also the original Bad News Bears.
You can’t do the East St. Louis scene in Vacation today.
What about the show All In The Family, Archie and Edith Bunker, Rob Reiner Mr. Lunatic liberal playing Meathead...
That show definitely couldn’t get made today.
I watched Apocalypse Now with my young adult kids yesterday... Amazon cut out where they stole the AB Chiefs surfboard, and when they sexed the Playboy Bunnies for Fuel... but left the part in at the end when Kurtz dropped the chef’s head into Martin Sheen’s lap. makes ZERO sense...
i saw it in a theater, in 72. it was ok! but then i was 17 at the time
Yep. So many TV shows and movies back then could never be made today.
The TV shows and movies of today may be frowned upon in 30-40 years, too.
Wife and I are currently watching mid-60s "F Troop" - add that one to the mix. Stereotypes galore. At some point, either of us will say to one another, "Can you see that being shown today?"
And yet he supports the party that enforces political correctness to the max. Another hypocrite.
I never saw that show. Just looked it up. I see what you mean. lol
Also, would “I Dream of Jeannie” be made today? Probably not.
Do some research into a girl (now woman) named Sarah Ruth Ashcroft.
And don’t be too quick to fall for the old Snopes type of “debunking”
That was his most remembered line from Aliens, but my favorite is when he’s freaking out and Ripley reminds him that Newt, who is just a little girl, survived alone against the aliens for months. He responds, “Why don’t you put her in charge?”
That movie was a perfect vehicle for him. Sad that we lost him so young.
