Athiest Missionaries

An athiest comes to Utah to proselytize. I totally love the old guy with the broom.

My Movie: Not

What? You really think I'd post a movie of myself? Made you look. Here are two You-tube videos on the travails of being a Mormon missionary.

R-Rated Movies: Saturn 3 and Ordinary People

This is also one of those things that used to drive me nuts about Mormonism's prohibition on R-rated movies -- the message of the movie could be highly moral or just, but its R-rating prohibited attendance. Now granted the first R-Rated Movie I went to was Saturn 3 so I could get a glimpse of Farrah's tit (see above for the actual shot from 1980), but the second R-Rated Movie I ever attended was Ordinary People, which featured no tits and haunts me twenty five years later.

Shakespeare would have probably got an R, if not an NC-17 for most of his stuff if it was played out the way he wrote it. The R-rated movie ban in Mormonism is simply a way to 1) make tits more titillating to young men -- although the Internet has probably made them blase by now and 2) to exercise paternalistic control over the mindless herd that can't tell great art from B-movie sleaze.

Body of Evidence

Madonna stars in this erotic thriller of a woman accused of killing her lover by fucking him to death. Willem Dafoe conducts an in depth investigation. This movie is a must for any movie erotic library, if for no other reason than the candle wax scene.
