  • The fact that you only equate sex/nudity to porn reveals the problem.

    I took the trouble to delineate tasteful nudity, or sex that actually serves a purpose in the plot (your fine examples of drama or fear are great suggestions, though I worry about the encroachment of porn with a “fun sex scene”) from common smut.

    As for public life: the theater is a public place, my thought goes no further than that.

    Thinking back now, I can even empathize with some of your feelings here. In the abu dhabi branch of the louvre, there is an ancient marble statue of a man that stands twice my height if my memory serves. Its genitals have been roughly gouged out with chisels in stark contrast to the smooth curve of skin and cloth for the entire rest of the statue. It’s nauseating and disrespectful not just to the creator’s work and vision but to human dignity. I think me seeing that statue and feeling what I felt is something comparable to how you now feel. I’m not afraid of or ashamed of the human form or human sexuality, but these things have a time and a place and a respect due that is often not granted or even considered.

    So maybe im just watching the wrong movies. what not-porn movie are you watching that treats sex with the dignity and respect it deserves?


  • The point of John Wick is the gratuitous violence. The plot of John Wick is in service to delivering gratuitous violence. The name for a movie whose plot is in service to delivering gratuitous sex is “pornography.” Tasteful, artistic nudity is one thing. Even sex, in service to the plot or purpose of the movie, is another thing. But sex just to sell the movie or check a box is not a thing: we’re now talking smut. Cheap, common, vulgar smut.

    “Everyone is ugly and everyone is fucking” is just real life. If you want “Everyone is beautiful and everyone is fucking,” good news- that’s called porn already, and there’s so much of it. I like smut, and porn. Which is why I can recognize softcore in movies when I see it. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but if I wanted to watch porn I’d go home and masturbate.

    I congratulate you on your personal sexual liberation. Please keep your jollies to yourself- in private- while we pitiful repressed twilight zone voyeurs awkwardly exclude sex from our public lives.











  • I think you’re being downvoted or ignored by most because the way you’ve formatted your post is strikingly similar to the way some bots spam ads for their malicious services. Glancing at your post history it’s clear to me that you just want to actually watch the fight.

    As far as that goes, afaik it’s notoriously difficult to find streams things like fights and sportsballs as they happen, but I know for a fact you’re not the only pirate looking for things like that, so I’d try to find a sports dedicated network and see if the fight gets uploaded within a day or so. Hopefully someone with specific knowledge to your question comes along, maybe there’s a stream?

    Good luck.
