1 star review of
A Room With A View on Amazon:
WARNING!! ...FULL NUDITY IN THIS FILM!, October 29, 2012
By Mandi Lamb "dimpled_dandy" (Rexburg, ID) - See all my reviews
Unless you're a fan of seeing full grown men run around completely naked (full front and back) for about 5 minutes, don't watch this film. The rest of the movie is great, and this one scene completely ruins it for those of us who like to keep our minds free of these images. Disappointing to say the least.

I guess I shouldn't send that Fassbinder set to me cousin now.

What did they think it was a room with a view of?

I'm still amazed to see reviews like this.
"It was a wonderful movie, very nicely written and the direction was also gorgeous, the actors quite gifted BUT GOD THEY SHOWED MEN'S BUTTS AND DONGS FOR LIKE 30 SECONDS AND IT RUINED THE WHOLE MOVIE !!!"
It's sad to see people having such a strong distaste of the slightliest view of on-screen nudity (mostly with male, it seems, because of course, female on screen full nudity is NEVER a problem).

I was personally disgusted by A Room With A View, but luckily I've just rented this great film called
Sirens that apparently features Sam Neill as a painter and Hugh Grant as a priest. That sounds like a perfect, genteel film!
Anyway this reminds me of that Airplane!-style parody of all of those Merchant Ivory films,
Stiff Upper Lips, which managed to wring a number of comedy skits out of the Room With A View naked romping!

Time's
13 Worst Sci-fi and Horror Movie Titles
I guess I shouldn't have expected anything more sensible/better from a
Time article.
I Dismember Mama wrote: This film, whose title is a matricidic [sic] pun on the title of a play I Remember Mama, features Albert, the man who tried to kill his mother once, failed, and escaped from an asylum for a second go. Ultimately, his heart is melted by the kindness of a young girl.
Orgy of the Dead wrote: A young girl (played by a softcore porn actress) and a young man are tied down and forced to watch a strange ceremony involving dead spirits. Watch for some vampire character overlap with Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Just watched
this trailer for the Danish film A Hijacking, and one of the pull-quotes featured was "INTENSELY WATCHABLE", which really struck me as damning with faint praise...
PERFECTLY ADEQUATE
MASTERFULLY ACCEPTABLE
THIS IS ACTUALLY A MOVIE

Haha, there's a trailer showing for that at our arthouse theater with the same pullquote and I had precisely the same response- attaching a modifier to 'watchable' doesn't help. Though I suppose 'watchable' puts it a cut above my impressions of the Tom Hanks version of the story.

A history lesson from an Amazon reviewer:
I can't add anything to the praise for this film. If you love Disney films, this is considered one of the classics. I just wish to briefly comment on the criticism of the lack of a widescreen version. The first widescreen film, The King and I, was released in 1956.

Coincidentally, that was the first sound film as well.

(from
an IMDb thread about
Videodrome entitled "What a load of *beep*")
and people who are elitists about movies, well...that's the ultimate pseudo profundity, a symptom of weak and illiterate minds. at least be elitist about something semi worthwhile, like literature/poetry...not that anything doing with fiction is ever that deep or intellectual of course, but at least literature has something to say unlike movies which are mere low brow entertainment lol. the "art" of movies is just "culture" for the lazy and stupid, those who are too lazy or cognitively limited to study reality in a disciplined autodidactic manner and thus have to have mere semi intelligent script writers and directors (sorry, none of these people are very perspicacious) explain it to them in simplistic watered down form (movies). highly intelligent people learn nothing from movies, or even literature, it's low brow entertainment for when one doesn't feel like taxing themselves intellectually is all. those with room temp iq's and totally laziness with massive ego problems are the only losers who feel the right to feel elitist about their movie tastes lol. how utterly sad.
Aw, I wish I was a highly intelligent person so I could learn nothing from movies (or literature) too.
Most of arete_1's other comments point further to trolling, including his (presumably it's a man) awful rant about Edie Falco, who he apparently finds so blindingly unattractive that he cannot decide whether she reminds him more of a horse or a foot.

The individual film (and artist) boards at IMDB are typically filled with rubbish by trolls and/or idiots. Some of the main boards actually have a fair number of worthwhile participants (mixed in with the many worthless ones).

I bet if he/she would have read a few books, he/she would have learned to read what they have written to make sure it actually made a lick of sense.

She obviously didn't want to see their dimpled dandies.

Must admit, I've seen many fairly mainstream films where you see willy, but I can't think of one where you see the woman's gash.

Thanks for the info, and from what I've seen you're absolutely right on both accounts.

Nobody's ever going to top that post, so let's just end the internet now.

But really, how many labia have you seen in a film? Only 3 or 4 for me, and not mainstream at all.

Basic Instinct is pretty mainstream, and Sharon Stone's labia majora are certainly visible.

You should see the kind of thing (and indeed things) my wife regularly discusses on her largely women-only forum.
