Rather off topic, but... Discussing the pros and cons of boycotting companies because of objectionable material is REALLY off topic. Just my very humble opinion (and it is VERY humble). |

Rather off topic, but... I have seen some R-rated movies after first reading reviews and finding its value to be sufficient and the content not completely objectionable (or easy to skip), e.g., Bravehart, Patriot, Green Mile, but this movie seems to be way beyond the pale. |

You are definitly speaking of another member named Tortdog, no? |
Honestly wasn't trying to judge you. Just that the reviews written almost made me want to vomit.
There are some things I have a very low "pain" threshold for. Profanity and overt sex are a couple.
Violence? I'm okay with that (cuz I figure I can just close my eyes). Actually, I'm even more comfortable with a "sex" scene, in a way, only because you can close your eyes. Profanity - you can't do anything about that. It just screams in your ears.

Rather off topic, but... Profanity for me is different as a non-native English speaker. Besides the "F" word that I hear everywhere, I do not know any "bad" words, the "F" word even does not mean anything to me because I do not feel totally connected to the language, now if is in Spanish is another matter. Nevertheless, I do not use it. The worst word I use is "stupid" and it makes me feel pretty bad when I do use it, my son reminds me though and says "Mommy, don't say the word stupid, is not good!" *laughs* . |
Kiddies, let us stick with the actual Movie: Latter-Days.
This to me is the basic analysis:
1. If you have gay tendencies then DO NOT watch this movie.
2. If you have a friend who is gay and you are NOT, and are trying to understand how it all works then this movie MAY help you understand it better as in it being educational. You are advised to simply fast forward the graphic parts - I think there were two - one in the beginning and one somewhere in the middle.
I just now saw JB's reply.
I'll reiterate it again, that I did not intend it like: I wouldn't go see that, how could YOU.
It was more like, how could you stand to watch it? Not judging, just wondering. Hmmm.
Honestly, I find it very, very hard to watch two guys engage in anything intimate. That's just me. I'm completely repulsed by it. But beyond that, I explained how I feel about movies that have, hmm, shall we say "wild" scenes.
But, I agree, that's just me.

I am not gay, I did not get any turn ons, I fast forwarded through any worthless scenes without losing my 'virginity', also I did learn a lot more about those who claim to be gay and want to be part of the Church. I guess someone has to 'sin' to make a descent review, I wonder how Clean Flicks manages. |
