Friday the 13th: nudity problem?

---

I've never really been a fan of horror flicks. The Jason movies always scared me. I don't plan on seeing this one.

Anyway, I've been hearing from alot of friends that the movie was awesome but they had so many nude scenes it got tiring and annoying and down right pointless. Or as other people put it there was "too much nudity".

What do you guys think? Do you think too much nudity in a movie could be a problem? Or do people need to lighten up?

Personally, I think if they NEED it then I guess so. But if it's like.... completely irrelevant to the movie then leave it out. Sometimes I feel like they do get a little out of control with the nudity in movies nowadays. There's NO discretion at all whatsoever. And most of the times it's pretty much unnecessary. Sex sells so that may be it.

what you have to realize is that people spend much of their lives nude and, more importantly, you're more likely to see violence than sex in American media.Sure, kill each other but GOD FORBID you should fuck each other. It's a bit sick really

I'm not a fan of horror flicks because they usually lack plot and an interesting story line.It is somewhat relevant to the story of Jason that he is killing teenagers getting their groove on.

YES! movies that even use it as main plot point, usually are horrible, and i detest them. it's all the teenagers, i tell you! our generation! what a horrible sense of humor! slaps self on wrist oh wait, that's not me. i like intellectual and action/drama...And, i do agree with you, if it's needed, but gratuitous isn't, as in...goes and names a list of 100 movies

Originally Posted By: thorYes...but why only then? (Hint: maybe because it's an excuse to show a lot of nudity? Wag the dog, anybody?) naw, it's a very common theme in American horror... only "bad" kids get killed in the woods. Really, Jason is a messenger from above!

I'm all for nudity... but there's no surprise there.I'm not quite sure why people care about the nudity one way or the other.

that is a good point. jason died because A) the other kids thought he was a freak and pushed him in the lake and B) he couldnt swim and the (teenage) camp counselors were too busy gettin busy to save him. so atleast in this series, as websex said, it makes sense to have a focus on sex. but i suppose it can get pretty gratuitous in some genres.

That's pretty much how I feel.. but I do have a question about nudity in movies.. why is all the nudity in these films always female? What's wrong with a little penis shots from now and than? throw us a bone already!! (Pun intended hehehe )

I couldn't agree more.

A very good point.........and I do agree with you on this.

Because most movies (i.e. horror, action) that show nudity are catered to of course men. It's very one-sided. And it's not even good nudity. It's like watching Girls Gone Wild. $9.99 crap and a waste of time.

I guess sex/nude scenes are a necessity now. Even when it's completely irrelevant to the story. No discretion. *shrug*

u think horror and action movies are catered for men? lol soo many of my female friends are addicted to horror films.i disagree.

The majority of them are catered to men. I love watching a fast and furious movie until I see the blonde bimbo with the fake boobs humping some racer for no reason. It makes no sense to me. It's just kind of annoying that there is rarely a movie where the female isn't seen as the sex object. Like... let her at least be the racer the kicks the guys butt and sends him packing so she can be the lead of the sequel or something like that. It gets so old. They're running out of ideas.

I disgree. I guess I like seeing sex scenes.:SI think the fast/furious movies are catering just as much to women as to men.

It's not part of the story or required for any reason whatsoever...so it makes the whole movie experience feel phoney (or perhaps, more phoney). No worries here though...I stopped watching horror movies when they stopped being scary. "Night of the Living Dead" at six years old? Now that's scary.

I agree Night of the Living Dead was pretty scary... but Children of the Corn scared the crap outta me! To this day I still hate corn fields lol

Watching ''Scream'' with my babysitter as a child did me no favours...I only recently stopped looking behind doors.BUT, back on track, lest we be accused of hijacking the nudity-in-movies discussion!

I cant really comment on the pointless sex scene in movies. I don’t see movies that have much of it going on. I’m not into horror movies. it’s not the blood or being scared. I just think there stupid and don’t bother with them. I’d much rather watch a good car chase than some one getting a body part sawed off (or something) The last movie I saw with sex in it was underworld rise of the lycans. The sex scene was not what stressed me in that movie, and it wasn’t the blood either. I liked death race and it was full of blood. I’m not too crazy about gore. Maybe that’s why I don’t like horror. I dk.. I don’t like any movie with pointless anything in it. Lord of the rings drove me nuts cuz it had pointless walking…and walking.. and walking. I got the point. Yea pointless sex would bother me (it think)
