ORIGINAL: LadyGiselle Hi, 91/2 Weeks, which was based on a true story, did not involve crime or murder. Well, maybe petty crime, but nothing close to murder. Lady Giselle ~who LOATHED Secretary~ Damn. It's a been a LONG time since I've seen this movie (it is now 20 years old). Now I have to go watch it again. Of course I'm MOSTLY interested in what people is happening in the movies and TV today, not 20 years ago. a LOT of things have changed since then. Now we have South Park, and the farrelly brothers, and let us not forget the internet. When that movie came out, it was still quite popular to make and market R rated movies that were actually pretty closer to soft-porn. Today, most of that sort of entertainment has moved to cable TV and DVD. It is MUCH harder to get a sex-themed movies into movie theaters today. It's not really censorship (as much as some would like you to believe). If "explicit" sex sold movie tickets today, then they put more of those movies in theaters. It's just that people feel more comfortable renting those movies on DVD now, then they do going to theaters to watch them. And with a HUGE rise in the popularity and availability of porn today, the "softer" porn movies have sort of lost their market. (Ex: Fatal Attraction 2 is expected to do better in DVD rentals than it did at the theaters).
