Found this while trying to remember The Brown Bunny LOL.

I never saw that movie, I just remember how scandalous it was.

[scriptedending]

yeah, The Brown Bunny is always the first thing that comes to mind when this topic comes up, and I never saw it either.

[squirrels_oh_no]

I mean, I know that one because they bragged about it for years afterward.

Wasn't there another Von Trier movie with stand ins having sex?

[talklikelions]

Nymphomaniac. I only found out recently it was stand ins, I thought it was actually the actors just doing porn w a plot lmaooooo

For the scene in Birdsong where Eddie Redmayne went down on Clemence Poesy, Clemence had Haribo candy on her thighs.

I accidentally read that as Bird Box and thought, "Wait, when the hell did that happen?" I need to slow down when reading.

LMAO so was he just down there having a literal snack? Not kissing them thighs and lips, but chewing on gummies?

[scriptedending]

I have never thought about Eddie Redmayne as a sexual being before reading this comment!

I know one of the actors on Queer as Folk said they're hard because you're panting so you're basically hyperventilating all day.

in mindy kaling's book she says actors lie about how fun it is to have sex scenes and how she always looks forward to them. she said after one particularly long day of filming, she was feeling insecure about her performance because the director wasn't satisfied. she asked her unnamed married male costar if she was doing a bad job, and he grabbed her hand and put it on his erection.
