MK could probably knows zillions of movie trailers containing wetlook, but the movie contains ZERO wetlook scenes from the trailer. I agree, you've made a good case about Hollywood. They want to sell the movie, but not offend the viewers .... excellent point! |
In reply to Message (50558.4.1) One explanation: money.
By Ahem... - Wed 08/06/11 15:40:46 GMT I agree with MK - it's a crap scene. But it's crap for a reason. It's pretty simple. The producers always throw the wetlook scene into the trailer to lure guys to go to their stupid movie. Becuz a "Real Man" is not going to let his wife/girlfriend drag him to some smarmy chick flick. Wetlook is a lot more popular than you think - when they featured it on "The Man Show", the all-male audience ROARED. How many movie trailers have we seen that featured wetlook? It's a surefire way to lure guys to the movie. But in the actual movie, the wetlook scene is short and poorly filmed - so that they don't make the women in the audience feel threatened or offended, or that they're watching something "trashy". They went to see "the feel-good comedy of the year", or "the most touching heart-felt drama of the summer that has everyone talking". Becuz a "Modern Empowered Woman" is not going to let her husband/boyfriend drag her to some raunchy tasteless skin flick. Very political, and quintessentially American - trying to please both types of people at the same time - until the final product makes no damn sense at all and pleases noone. |

In reply to Message (50558) Are you a "true" wetlook fan - take the test
By MK - wamtec@comcast.net Tue 07/06/11 22:03:29 GMT Are you a "true" wetlook fan that appreciates the fine art of wet clothing seen thru a fetish fans eyes.....i.e.
- full clothings or nice clothings or smart-casual etc - decent lighting that shows off the best aspects of wetlook (shiny, see thru, clingy or transparent) - good continuity (showing "before" and "during" and "after" shots with no annoying cutaways
or ....are you a "mainstream guy" that sees wetlook in the same way that Hollywood, and Playboy generally portrays this subject....i.e. metaphorically....just close your eyes and use your imagination....via
- poor choices of clothing - obscure or bad lightng (i.e. backlit lighting) - premature cutaways or lack of continuity....i.e. music video style editing
Take "the car wash scene" test....cos Hollywood and entertainment shows are currently going nuts and raving about the "great" carwash scene that Cameron Diaz does in her latest film "Bad Teacher".....this is the upcoming scene the mainstream world is raving about....

If this scene does it for you....then you are definitely a mainstream guy and not a wetlook fetish fan.....cos you don't seem to care about the bad lighting and poor choice of clothing. This is no different to the Paris Hilton carwash scene that the mainstream world was raving about a few years ago....only at least that scene had better lighting.
For me, nothing beats the iconic Joy Harmon carwash beat from "Cool Hand Luke" in 1965....and kudos to Liv Tyler who did a pretty decent replica of that scene in 2001 in "One Night in McCools", and Nicolette Sheridan did not do too badly in her version on Desperate Housewives.
Anyway....if Cameron Diaz does it for you in her scene.....I must admit I don't get it....i.e. I can see how a mainstream guy can get turned on by a scantily clad girl playing with a hose....but how can any guy get turned on with you can't see any money shots due to the bad lighting that is backlit.
Go figure MK
