Just as recently as last night I've had a "challange" to my opinion on part of Moores script that I had argued for in the past.
I put on my tape of Children of Dune so I could watch it with moms last night, and even tho I knew from reading The Children of Dune and the Dune Messiah books that they were highly sexual elements in the stories, I really wasnt expecting just hom much of a show SciFi was about to give folks in this Mini...
Woah...
I was sittin there watchin with moms like I said and the first encounter takes place in the streets of Arakeen, and I was like "dayum!". But then later two of the main characters procede to start goin for it with gusto against a piller and later another two handle there buisness in the bedroom...
My mouth seriously fell open. (And not cuz I was droolin over the actress playin Alia...
)
man oh man, even my Europeon cuts of The Highlander series were tamer than what i saw Last night.
Now at the risk of coming off as prudish myself, I'm thinkin if mebby at least thay coulda done somthing with thick gauzy curtans or glass bricks or rice paper, a little creative camera work...
I mean the characters vocalization told a WHOLE lot of the story, throw in A few creative teaser shots to titilate. A money shot of the characters faces to show the magic moment...
Now I'm an adult male and i've watched a dirty movie (or 2
)
And if CoD had been produced as a subscription channel cable show like OZ or Sex in the City it would have been all good. but geez it feel diffrent to me if it is on a station station like SF?
I still think that as written the sex scenes are fine and I still think if you can lat your kids watch killin you can let them see a little love makin too.
And i still dont think that the quality of somthing should be guaged on if u can let your kids watch it.
Make them read a book or sumthin instead, but dayum if Sci-Fi intends to present Moore's scenes like they did in the CoD mini then I am not sure I'd be as comfortable with it.
