Spank me. Please?

If Lesley Ann Warren was the one to be spanked, I'd have been over this in the 80's.

Or even that irritating wife from Judging Amy, I could get into it.

Indeed, an excellent film. Certainly very popular amongst the kink crowd.

Having watched it for the first time today, it's easily one of my favorites.

 

[vampiredust]

I enjoyed it too

Favourites in what genre??

Seriously, I loved the emotional intensity along with the quirky humour.

(Note to self, must watch my copy again soon!!)

What did you like about it?

 

[mckai777]

Any genre. I admire fearlessness in moviemaking, and fearless this movie was.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

It was - different.

For Hollywood, it was outandingly fearless. Well done to Tinsel Town on this one.

Really? I saw the box in the DVD shop and thought it looked like cheap titillation wrapped in a gossamer-thin plot from the blurb on the back. Is it really a decent film?

Perhaps not for everyone, but I enjoyed it immensely.

one of my favs... I love Maggie Gyllenhaal in anything... but in this!!! oh man...

it's loosely based on a short story that I read years ago... they hollywoodized and mainstreamed it quite a bit... but even so, it's a lovely story... and hot!!

It's an excellent film: production values all over the place. Good script, plot, character development - the whole nine yards. Maggie Gyllenhall & James Spader are both excellent actors, and they did themselves proud here.

And it's a nice little peek into the ideas of BDSM and why someone might be interested in them. (It somehow just doesn't sound quite right to say "a slice of BDSM life"

I was a little disappointed in the denouement, which seemed kind of dream-romancey over the top for me, but I can't think of any other way the story climax could go that I like better.

Hollywood did package and promote this as a "Cheap Titillation" film, rather than the Art House film that it is, which IMO was a profound disservice to it.

interestingly enough, I just bought this and haven't watched it yet...

 

[mckai777]

Just watched it again. Every bit as good the second time around.

fearlessness in movie making...I love that.

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And Her Lover qualifies i think.

Wow, I haven't thought about that movie in awhile! That was a truely fearless movie!

I loved The Secretary and have watched several times.

She got rave reviews for SherryBaby, though I havn't seen it yet.

I agree. I like both the leads. Spader is also great in Boston Legal with the awesome William Shatner!

 

[Chantilyvamp]

wooohooo... I got to order my copy of the film today

 

[mckai777]

William Shatner!

He is The Shat.
