Making love in the forest.


Had to laugh at the scene where Clint & Donna are naked on the forest floor. No way. If I was to lay down naked on any forest floor I'd have more bug bites and ant bites on my nads than I could count in 5 minutes. Watch "Naked and Afraid" sometime. Those poor fools are literally eaten alive every day.

No way.
People have ways and means of overcoming the problems you outline. Love between couples is rarely confined just to the bedrooms of the world.

Been there. Done that. Liked it. If you're doing it right, nobody notices bugs, ants, dirt or prickly plant thingies. :D

That was pretty over the top.

When you're young and horny, an ass full of grass is a minor inconvenience.

Ha, ha! Yep. Me too! Nearly got sprung too, which made all the better!

reply

Yeah, I found this very silly too.
They are not only naked in the forest, they are standing in the water under this miniature waterfall. This must be so cold!

The forest scenes and the following concert scenes don't have much of a point.
From there on, the movie was messed up.
I really liked the first half, but after that it goes downhill.

reply

Just odd, as the other guy said, this and the concert scene are absolutely pointless.

Was Clint going for an Adam and Eve thing?

I've had a few roll abouts in the woods, never liked it. Spiders/worms/ants on top of mud/weeds/God knows what... But when I was a horny teenager needs must ay?

Havin said that I live in England completely different climate to LA....

reply

Ah, but the concert scene ISN'T pointless. Clint used it to distract you from the fact that his GF's new "roommate" Annabelle was moving in. A HUGE plot point that was obvious, but he hid it in a noisy concert, so it almost goes unnoticed upon first viewing.

Call me Snake.

I made love on top of a hill with my wife 2 years ago. We even laid down a blanket to have our quicky. Afterwards we realized we had been bitten up by mosquitoes up and down our backs and legs. What seemed like an adventurous escapade turned out to be an itchy and painful drag.

reply

The concert was to make the vital plot point about the roommate, but that, and the Roberta Flak beach and forest montage were to show the passing of time after they put Evelyn away.

Dave and Tobie thought everything was going swimmingly and Evelyn was out of the picture... Yeah right!


We got a job.
What kind?
...The Forever Kind.

reply

And, we got to see much more of Clint's bare butt than anyone needed to see!

reply

A lot of women can't see enough of it!

Movie is lulling you into a false sense that everything's okay just so it can shock and surprise you again.

My wife and I have made love on the ground, in the wilderness. At the time, I was more focused on her young, voluptuous, supple, warm, naked body than on the gnats and ants.
