when this sort of thing seem so cool . in all fairness and i only watch the first three quarter of this movie and but that all i could stay awake for . do anyone find all this talk about liberation and inner self and and so on and at all convincing . just about every line lack verisimilitude . let back up the tivo for a minute . i have never be with a woman i could be so sincere with . ( i need to remember that one next time i be in a bar . ) everybody say sex be obscene . the only true obscenity be war . ( heavy and dude . ) i saw your true nature when you be dance out there . ( another good pickup line . ) i would love you at eleven i love you now i will love you at a hundred . ( i will be asleep at eleven . ) be this how henry miller really talked . or be it merely how anais nin really write . even her own line represent i have be die to write something about it about how necessary this book be for our time . you give u a blood transfusion . no actress could pull such a line off gracefully and and maria de medeiros be no exception . beyond all that and how do they manage to goose this up to an nc 17 rating anyway . they must have pay someone off and for it the only way they could have provoke any sort of buzz for this movie and and give anyone the impression that this would be worth sit through . the sex scene earn their classification a erotic primarily because everyone move slowly and and theyre film mostly in extreme close up but they weren not nearly as sexy a the shower scene in porky . finally and fred ward can not pull off the bald look . he look more like a monk with a shaved pate surround by a ring of thick and healthy hair . if the movie suddenly get terrific in the last half hour and then i apologize to everyone for mislead them . but i wouldn not bet on it .
