The movie 300 is embarrassing, really.

[Mr. Rager!]

Well... just the naked chick part.

I was helping this couple with a laptop and they wanted to know what we had with a 17" screen. So, I take them over to a Toshiba that I felt would be a good fit for them based on what they had told me they were going to use the laptop for.

I get to the laptop and there's a movie playing. It was the movie 300, and it was at that scene where the naked chick is doing her floaty, dance, dreamy thing...

Now, my first instinct was to slam the laptop shut, but the way we have them locked up, you can't. So, I was scrambling to find the stop button, I finally just settled and ejected the disc. Apparently I was about 16 shades of red... the customers just sat there with a stunned look on their face.

You knows those airline commercials where people do something embarrassing and need to get away, yeah, they could make a commercial out of that moment.

[Boozy]

It could have been worse.

About five minutes after that part, there's that sex scene....

[Acolyte]

Not to mention diseased creepy old men feeling her up.

[Mr. Rager!]

Ahh see, I've only seen the movie once. I didn't care for it too much, about fell asleep through it. So, I didn't remember what happened after that.

At that moment in time, nothing could be worse than standing in front of a couple who are obviously of Middle Eastern descent with the woman showing only her face. Yeah, I couldn't think of anything much more uncomfortable than that.

Um, whose idea was it to play a rated R movie on a store computer? At least screen it first to make sure there's nothing inappropriate.

[Mr. Rager!]

It was the Senior's idea. It was the first movie he had at his disposal when he was looking for something to demonstrate how the DVD controlls work on that particular laptop. The guy who was going to purchase it was a first-time computer owner.

To be quite honest, I only remembered the movie for it's violence... I don't remember any of the sex scenes, really.

Okay, not everyone has seen the movie, so please no spoilers.

[JuniorMintz]

The movie's been out in our part of the world for almost a year, the book for quite a bit longer than that, and the ancient history that the movie is very loosely based on for much longer than *that*- so why so worried about spoilers???

Personally when I see a book or movie title in a thread name and I know I don't want to see any spoilers by accident... I just stay out of the thread. It's worked pretty well so far...

[Boozy]

Seriously, powerboy. If you want to see this movie, what's stopping you? The video store awaits!

Every Spoiler Ever (worksafe)

Examples:
He's Batman.
There's an earthquake.
The ship sinks.
The spy saves the world single-handedly and gets the girl.

[Acolyte]

No, this is.

[Mr. Rager!]

I couldn't spoil the movie for anyone because I really didn't like it, so I don't remember it.

[GingerBiscuit]

All I can remember of it that- apart from the blood- it was one of the most homoerotic films I have seen.
Seriously- all those oiled muscle and leather shorts...

[DesignFox]

I can relate to that Fashion Lad. We sell satellite TV in my store. One day, we were watching Mall Rats because there weren't any customers in the store...

Well, some customers came in...with a kid.

It had been a year or so since I'd seen the movie so I forgot about one particular sex scene....

Thankfully, it wasn't TOO explicit, and I don't think the kid was really paying attention. Still, I never scrambled to change the channel so fast in my life...

THANK YOU!

On a broader note it find it sad that we Americans have become so de-sensitized to violence that during a two hour movie it is the one scene that does not end with someone being killed in slow motion that we worry about children seeing.
