Bob you know the Scott Pilgrim game has a button you can push for girl on girl action... it's not all that explicit but it's at your command. Psycho-thrillers don't do much for me. If you count American Psycho I guess there's an exception. Though that movie was hilarious... so i enjoyed it more as a comedy. I said it for the social network, I'll say it for this. I'll say it for the next 20 pieces of oscar ready material in the years to come. No matter how good the directing, acting, or cinematography are, there are some subjects I cannot be bothered to stare at for 2 hours. Thin romance, overly obsessed ballerinas, and the story of a multi-million dollar social network all fall in this catagory.
I'll accept the lable of pure subjectivity but for me it's difficult to care about these kinds of movies when pixar drops a gold character driven adventure like it's easy, and comic book movies are seeing production values I'd never have imagined.
You know why we generally don't celebrate erotic scenes in movies? The same reason you don't celebrate every time an alien gets shot in a halo game. That's the easy plug. The simple part to get right. So long as X amount of lead brings Y alien to a bloodied pile on the ground, it worked. Just as X amount of skin shown on girl Y and Z = sucess. Best part about it, due to social double standards even straight women are allowed to say a girl on girl scene is hot, so you get your chick flick crowd and frat boys satisfied. This is made cheesier by the fact that most of the time, you're watching a movie and it seems like somone hit the sex switch, as in the transporter boathouse scene. If I had known screaming bullets and near death experiences made girls randy, I would have likely had a much more exciting time in my late teens to early twenties. Oh theres that great one in gone in 60 seconds too... I don't want to turn this into a big pun with regards to Black Swan, so I'll refrain from comments about things that walk like ducks.
