Internet Porn, now showing at a theatre near you

Somewhere along on some forum on the net, someone said pornography will go mainstream in a couple of years. My opinion was different. I knew movie lovers would never allow porn to filter through theaters without avoiding the 'R' certificate.

Of late, particularly the beginning of this year, certification has been thrown out the window.
When internet porn has filtered into your PC and everyones 'favorites' folder will have a XXX dialer 90% of the time (without you even knowing of it), it's time that movie makers upped the ante and made some extra moolah.

Sex scenes could be shot in a number of ways. There's an 'arty' way and of course, the porno way. The arty way isn't that much of a problem when you watch movies with your elders, since it's more 'acceptable'. If we could watch the 'Titanic' with no qualms, it was because the director decided that the lust quotient be kept lowered. The Lust quotient - in my opinion should be kept lowered in movies that do not directly deal with sex. For movies like Basic Instinct, any kinda scene stands justified.

What I see these days are movies extremely high on this. Sex scenes could even be tasteful, but here are some movies that include them porno scenes:

- The Matador
- Running Scared
- Hostel
- Brokeback Mountain
- Underworld Evolution
- Junebug
- Lucky Number Slevin
- Transamerica
- Employee of the Month

The list is endless. I can understand topless scenes. I can understand simulated scenes (oh how famous those Zalman King movies were in college!). But I CANNOT understand hardcore stuff mixed in movies. The only difference between such scenes and pornos are that hollywood's cameras are positioned far away, whereas its just the opposite in pornoland.

Will dwindling profits and poor storylines push Hollywoods cameras nearer to the lusty lovers? I hope not.

We don't want anymore Caligulas, you got that?

Further proof that what Hollywood is going porno:

Jenna Jameson at the 2006 Golden Globe Awards!

You're absolutely right! There has been a huge increase of graphic sex in movies which has nothing to do with sex. Nowadays, I always expect every R rated movie to have a sex scene in it.

They should stop it and opt for the more 'arty' kind of sex scenes. It makes the audience a whole lot more comfortable. And how is anyone supposed to know if a movie is going to have an explicit scene or not? How would someone know that a crime or drama movie would have 'porno' in it?
