Guest S***dst*** Report post Posted August 16, 2010 worst movie ever made: the blair witch project Not sure about this one. There are a few that come to mind too which I'd watch blair witch 1000 times before watching them Paranormal activity ... my vote for being THE worst I omited Star Wars due to everyone and their mothers having seen it or knows what it is :P But I'd like to add the newer Star Trek movie to the list. Saw it recently and it was impressively, entertaining... once you get passed the whole Spock-Ohora mini, romance story line :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chavez 641 Report post Posted August 17, 2010 Very interresting and very timely. This weekend at a party I attended this very subject came up. Honestly I am well past my 30s and frankly well past my 40s but I try to keep up. A couple of people ( not a couple) brought up the movie " Blue Velvet" . I know the movie and in my opinion everyone that talks about sex movies should know about it, but not everyone did. The movie is not simply sexual, it is sensual and makes you think about your own sexuality. I'm not a movie buff but I think a movie should make you think. What do you think? Should a movie make you think and question your sexuality or is it there to stimulate your sexual response. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should a movie make you think and question your sexuality or is it there to stimulate your sexual response. Well it's all about context--obviously a porn is there to stimulate your sexual response. With Blue Velvet it's about making you think. And by making you think about your own sexuality, this stimulates your sexual response. So it really just depends on your mood. I actually first watched Blue Velvet in high school because there is a reference to it in Bio-Dome, of all films (for those who don't know, that's a Pauly Shore movie).
