Rip my head off - but no tits please !!
Obviously spawned from another thread .. but i am curious about something :
there is something that has always disturbed the hell out of me about americans.... Violence = good Nudity = bad this certainly sets the USA apart from Canada and most of europe. (in japan violence = nudity so we'll leave them out of this) what the fuk is it where people think violence and gore is kosher but a pair of tits or an ass are offensive ? this has come up before but i want to know widescale ... are all americans like this ? Is it part of the cultural upbringing ? i really find the make war not love thing disturbing as hell. i can understand that some kids are too young to have the facts of life explained to them ... but by the same token they are too young to see violent images - its about the same thing - the maturity level to understand. i have a 6 year old .. we never freaked out about nudity ... we dont flaunt it but we arent prissy about it either .. he know enought to keep his pants on in public and that was the goal. but in a movie i'd much rather he sees the natural images of peoples bodies .. than people getting their bodies ripped apart. even if it is a kissing scene .. petting - whatever .. i'm far more prepared for him to see that and explain it - rather than acts of horrific violence perpetrated by people on each other. what the fuck is wrong with americans ??? this is one Canadian standing alone against the rest of you lot ... give me your worst .. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DEAL ??? i keep editing because i just realized my C key is intermittently not working Last edited by urgeok; 11-03-2006 at 08:07 AM.

Our country was founded by, and is still under the control of, religious extremists.

i think excessive nudity ruins a horror movie. (the new york ripper) and violence and gore is just awesomeness, plus i can watch it with my parents and not feel embarassed.

Good question.
I think its upbringing. When I was a tyke I watched horror movies with my parents [ nothing as violent as we have today ] but never saw any nudity....[I had to resort to National Geographic for that ].I'm not as up-tight about it as my parents were. My youngest is 15 and i'll watch pretty much anything with him.

Although it seems to be relaxing a bit, especially on the coasts and in bigger cities, you can thank Anthony Comstock and his bullshit purity crusade for a lot of it. Most of the folks I know anymore aren't that prudish, but you still find it just about everywhere you go.
I remember when I was younger, it was fine to watch all kinds of violent action flicks. Hell hath no wrath though like my family if a pair of tits were on screen when while I was about.

LOL...I was waiting for you to come out with this ;)
I really can't explain it to you any better than I tried to before...The best that I could come up with was the fact that my kids know the violence, blood, guts, death, etcetera is all fake...They even know exactly how it's done, and often critique the effects if they feel that they could have been done a better or different way...The nudity, however is real... And...the sex parts are just boring for me...and NOT what I paid to watch... "If I watch a horror movie...I wanna see HORROR...If I wanna watch people have sex, I'll get a porno"...and my other worn out quote..."I have never been scared by a tit or an ass in my entire life, and I doubt that I ever will" I KNOW that doesn't make sense to you...But, honestly that's about the best I've got

I read a brilliant citation of Jack Nicholson on the subject a couple of years ago he said something along the lines of :
"If I rip off a breast in a movie, it's going to be a PG-13 movie, but if I kiss it, then it's going to be an R movie for sure!"
