In an Alternate Universe


In an alternate universe, where this movie made half a billion dollars and Verhoeven became the most powerful figure in Hollywood, we'd have a world where erotic thrillers are the dominant genre and it's basically mandatory for every 20 year old starlet in Hollywood to spend half of every movie stark naked with absolutely everything on display.

Erotic thrillers were big in the 90s. I wouldn’t class this film as erotic or a thriller though. Nudity in films was big back then. If the lead wouldn’t do it they would throw in some extras who would!

All true, I agree

If you were offered a million bucks to appear on film in the nude for a sex scene would you do it?
I'm talking your pecker is out there, her tits are right there, some kissing and a bunch of thrusting needs to be filmed, of course moaning and a bit of 'dirty talk' is part of the deal...

I like money so I'd be all in🤘

Sure I would and then probably never work again. I don't need the lavish lifestyle but then again, a million for each film/nude scene? Why not?!

reply

For a million bucks We'd be nuts not to show 'em our nuts😁

If I my add I'd like to require that every movie should have a very sexy poster, the Showgirls poster put a bunch of asses in seats!

Pretty face, show the legs, a slight titty shot...You'll make millions on a poster like that, who cares about 'acting' and 'story?'

Real talk👍

I get suckered into Film Noir based on the posters. Granted they are tame compared to this one but posters do matter. I find modern movie posters to be boring.

DTV 'posters' are particularly bad

The Cage and Travolta action movie posters of the last decade are pretty much just them scowling and or pointing a pistol at the camera lol
