Re: Cuties

There's a quote, I think from Soderbergh, that when an actor takes their clothes off in a film it's "no longer a film, it's a documentary." You can pretend to do a lot of things in movies, but you...

I cut it because it did not, in fact, clarify your meaning for me, and actually seems dissonant with the rest of it. Just to be clear that it was done for clarity and not to try to hide some obvious...

Inherently? No. But from what I've seen it's difficult to avoid the idea that it goes a bit far in that direction. I can link to some fairly substantive commentary/clips on this if that helps, but it...
