A similar question I've had is that since we're still in the midst of this revival of 80s-style slasher movies, what has happened to nudity in today's horror movies? We have more blood now in horror than in the 80s, but none of the T&A ... which at one time was a prerequisite.

If I wante...Piper,<BR/><BR/>Adversarial relationship….Geesh! If I wanted to make our relationship adversarial I would say something to the extent of Taxi Driver was a piece of garbage, the only thing Fandango is good for is wiping your ass and Goodfellas is second rate attempt to cash in on the mob movie scene! I wouldn’t call our relationship adversarial, I would call it open.<BR/><BR/>As for the 80’s skin flicks, I couldn’t agree more. How many teenage boys “rubbed one out” thinking of Phoebe Cates in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High?” Does anyone not remember “Porky’s?” The problem, my dear Piper, is simple. The problem is two fold. The first is the hypocrisy of Hollywood itself! Without trying to make this a “political” issue the problem is those screaming for “freedom of expression” and “movies are art” when it serves their needs are the same people screaming about a movie because it “degrades” women. The problem is Hollywood is a business. IF a movie cannot make money, it most likely will not get made. (Gigli and Catwoman excluded) Forget the fact that good old fashioned teenaged smut is fun; a right of passage if you will. Oh, it has been tried. “American Pie” is about as close as they have come, but even that had to be ruined. They had to put a heartfelt message in it. Damn! What were they thinking?<BR/><BR/>Second, when we were teenagers in the 80’s we had to search to see skin! You remember…getting to know the person at the local video store so you could rent “R” rated movies without your parents knowing. HBO and the Emmanuelle series. Tons of work for 30 seconds in the bathroom! Oh the glory days. Now, we can thank Al Gore for his invention of the internet and the steady stream of porn at our finger tips. Half the fun of seeing those 80’s skin flicks was the excitement of finding them and knowing our parents would kick our ass if they knew we were watching them. The other half was we didn’t get to see women’s tits that easily and it was a novelty. Not so anymore. Thanks to IM’s, chat rooms, web cams and My Space skin is too easy to see.<BR/><BR/>So Piper, my cyber-Newman, I am afraid 80’s skin flicks have gone the way of rotary dial phones, evening news papers, and 8 track tapes….remembered fondly by those of an older generation, never to be relived by today’s youth!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
