(oo)
I saw the original "Last Tango in Paris" in its unexpurgated form
when it was in the theaters.  It was *still* a piece of trash.

Nobody seems to know how to make an erotic movie acceptable to the
critics without either filming it in that annoying, choppy, European
fashion or making the plot depressing and the characters utterly
depraved, as in "Last Tango."  Myself, I prefer my erotica honest,
that is, utterly without redeeming social value.  Who can enjoy
a good b___job when you know the hero's going to get his brains
blown out as well?
