rape line spoken by geena davis offensive?


Loved this movie to bits.I did cringe though, when charlie said she was saving herself for when she got raped.Surely another line could have been used in this scene?

reply

sounds like the sort of this charlie would say, think they were just trying to show that she doesnt care what she said etc.
loved this film to :D

actually it's one of my favourite lines of all time haha

Yes, it's an excellent line, almost certainly incredibly offensive to women, who cares - a Shane Black line.

That is the scene when a hitman approaches her and asks her to come with him. She is simply stating something she would rather do than go with the hitman. Be raped. Obviously it is an exaggeration in order to jerk him around, but her whole character at that point is exaggerated. Happy?

I thought it was funny. It was something the character would definitely say.

I can't believe over the past decade we have become so thin-skinned. offended? being offended is a risk you take everyday many times a day. so what? so we get offended? it's really subjective, what is and is not offensive. so what if we get offended anyway. big deal, what are all in the third grade? really it is so ridiculous. maybe if you get offended you can sue someone for millions so you won't have to work! ahhh the American dream! a million bucks will buy a lot of ipads. seriously, lets grow up and worry about the important stuff. like charley said, "life is pain, get used to it"


"Mitch: Jesus, old man, how many of those you got?
Nathan: Three. One shoulder, one hip and one down here, right next to Mr. Wally, where most patdowns never reveal it, as even the most hardened federal agent is often reluctant to feel up another man's groin. Any other questions?
Mitch: Yeah. What's the weather like on your planet? "

No way! Reading your texts is painful. Movies like this torture me like rape. Rape isn't a joke, stop joking around. Movies should cuddle your heart and massage your soul. The Long Kiss Goodnight didn't make any cuddling happen nor did I get happy. Maybe Geena Davis knew I'd be unsatisfied. Wow, she's hot. No wait, she' not. Point proven. Profondorosso75 doesn't enjoy cinema, I've seen his dreams of cinema, they're empty like his sense of humor and compassion. He only likes offending IMDB patrons, leaving his kids all alone and hungry for good fatherhood. Why not raise kids good? Instead of raising them on Long Kiss Goodnight midnight showings and popcorn.

Once, Profondorosso75 stole 15$ from the till at St. Baptien's Chapel. He probably spent it on LKG' screenings and cocaine popcorn, plus hotels and video games, strip clubs, scissors, dance, church donations, leather socks, hobo fights, plastic bags, just a couple kiwis, an elastic, leather socks. He should've bought dinner for me and kids, not his, mine, The Tonys. The Tonys like hamburger, potatoes, gravys, drink, hot sauces, water, meals, cheeseburger, vege-desserts, skateboards, and curried filet mignon over a sauteed assortment of veal seasoned with cashew oil, paprika, and pared Yuca with hints of Pinot-Noir of Elm Root (bottled 1957), only 1957, they are very picky when it comes to les vins. They're 16. They jog. :)

It's hard to see the difference between sarcasm and real stupidity in internet.
So I have no idea wether you're joking or if you're actually an idiot.

What clichés? Thats a word the wannabe critics use when they want to whinge.

TS sounds like a pussy here too.

For many reasons I consider myself very sensitive to this sort of thing, but I thought that it was great in the context of the scene.

reply


That line is hilarious and fits the character.
