I wholeheartedly agree and yearn for the days when films only included rape scenes required to move the plot forward.

I'm a Liam Neeson fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when Liam Neeson plays Rob Roy.

$2.99 was a good deal in 2019 for that dead format. I gave my laserdiscs and player to my brother-in-law more than a decade ago. We have tons of movies on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray. Yet, I have not played any of my physical, video media in years. We stopped buying physical discs right about the time 4k Blu-ray came along. Everything we watch now is either digital signal via antenna, streamed or played from a file.
Maybe, we'll stream Rob Roy tonight. Young Jessica Lang was gorgeous and she's quite the talent. She nailed the Joan Crawford role in the "Feud" series on FX.

Yep.
Yeah, I really liked the movie, and the love story, but did not like the rape scene. I watched it part way through with my partner and it really disturbed her. (and me as I saw the impact on her). And we did not finish the movie. Which is too bad, as I like the rest of it.

Dragon's Lair on Laser Disc is the greatest invention ever. Fight me.

It's one of many otherwise great films that are ruined by the inclusion of rape scenes. Once Upon a Time in America is another. It mars the movie so much that it makes it hard to recommend to someone. I wish films could be revised without those aspects.

I don't think I've seen it. On Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is 75%. The critic score is 73%. How bad could it be? We can mute it and close our eyes during the rape scene.

Stunning post.
You can get the game on Steam now. Apparently.
I’ve seen the standup arcade machine for sale recently too. New.

Man, I’d almost forgotten that. Hadn’t seen it in ages. Henry Fonda was fucking terrifying.
Straw Dogs and Scorsese’s Cape Fear are other great movies destroyed by single gross scenes.
And it blows my mind that there are still people who still watch and defend A Clockwork Orange, which is a whole other level of sick exploitation.

A Clockwork Orange has a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The critic score is 86%. I think it’s an important Stanley Kubrick movie. So, I guess I’m going against the grain to defend it, at least in this thread.
Rape is an ugly part of life. Murder is even worse. Should film makers stop portraying those things in movies? It’s certainly worth considering.
I think rape and murder are shown to illicit an emotional response. Yes, a few sick people get off on them. I find them disturbing but I think it benefits me to feel those emotions. It helps me feel the proper depths of sorrow for the real life events I see and read about in the news. Food for thought.
