Sex scenes don't really bother me. Gratuitous language that doesn't need to be there, and brutal violence bothers me more.
I finally had to turn off the DVD of "Phone Booth" because the F-word was thrown around so much it was just annoying.
Well the sex scenes don't *bother* me. I just find them unnecessary. I don't like watching soft porn when I'm interested in watching a plot. Just get on with it already.

OK, I am a huge Star Wars fan, but this is taking Star Wars thinking to a ridiculous level.
It's a science fiction fantasy, for heaven's sake!
If George Lucas says that the Ewoks were fine and dandy, that's good enough for me. He did write the series, after all.
;)
Yeah I'm with liz....if Lucas says the Ewoks are alive and well....that's good enough.

Alright....I hope you looked that up........
Couldn't they have aimed at the Rebel Alliance secret base then....and fired right through the gas giant?

No. They had to be in close proximity in order for the laser to have the desired effect. Remember how close they had to draw to Alderaan before they shot it? Well, in order to fire through the gas giant, they would've had to get so close to it that they'd be trapped by its gravitational pull and crash. That's why they mentioned having to orbit it.

I agree with you, I just find it funny. :)

I finally found a movie scene that makes no sense.....
In Wild Things (the same movie that brought us the nude scene involving Denise Richards in a schoolgirl outfit).....why for the love of everything that's holy do they have to show Kevin Bacon's bacon near the end of the film? Why? That's a scene that makes absolutely no sense.....

Bond...James Bond wrote:You know that scene in The Shining where Shelly Duvall is running around the hotel seeing ghosts and crap......WTF was up with that bit with the man in the bear suit?
Oh list any other movie scenes that you think make no sense to the rest of the film.....
Unless I'm mistaken, the man in the bear suit is a carry-over from the Stephen King novel. As you know from other scenes in the film, the ghosts are ghosts from the hotel itself. (Recall that in one scene, Jack Nicholson's character talks things over with the bartender, and---I believe---there is a bit of a ghost party scene going on in the background.) The bear and the man are thus ghost hotel partyers who have slipped away for a bit of....ah, well, use your imagination. Moreover, given that this film was directed by Stanley Kubrick, I think we can safely guess that a lot of tinkering was done with the book, and that certain scenes were cut, etc.
