My virgin eyes

I swear i dont know wats good for goose and gander...:(

All i can say is tat its not good for innocent people like us....:(

Rizks... that is soooo wrong... what is good for the goose is good for the gander...

blisteringbra, i think the producers instructs the cameramans to shut their eyes whenever they shoot for a nude scene....:)

...and then there are some scenes... where the director, cameraman and the actor get all the benefit of the nude scene and the viewrs doesnt...

good examples being Hally Berry in Monster's Ball.... or Jennifer Lopez and Sean Penn in U-Turn....

such films must be TOTALLY banned... and the producer should make no money out of it... lol

its exploitation of Female body...

Thelonius,,, Yes, i heard rumors that there are some on MARS :O)

Honestly there will be always some wise humans Thelo, else we will be in a big mess.

i don't normally watch hollywood crap like the hangover franchise but some sex scenes are essential to a movie, and are not necessarily meant to arouse. monica bellucci's rape scene in irreversible showed how horrible rape is and how it can destroy a good person's life, including those around her. only perverts would get a kick out of watching that. it won't have the same effect on the viewer's psyche if that scene was cut.

because of that though, this film is in the list of movies i will never watch again.

I think Qatar has chosen to have different people from a different countries, so this kind of diversity will lead to this.

As QL is a small sample of the Qatari Community, we had different points of view, some of us would like to watch nudity scenes and some don't. - which is normal-

So why not to have different halls in the cinemas -one cut the movie and the other don't- and let the people to choose where they want to watch the movie.

@MN if they say so, then I retract, who am i to argue with specialists? And yes, anyone who believes it's necessary to watch nude scene in movies is a horney goat!!! I always fast forward thru those when Im at home or go use the toilet or something...it's so stupid it's almost insulting...The cause of drooling at villagio now that's another story, that's caused by the unnecessary segregation of genders....has nothing to do with this topic!!!

@Thelonius...of course...the need for them there is a lot higher there due to the fact u mentioned....thus there r more/better of them...direct corelation...makes perfect sense actually

Oh so the rest of the unconcerned world are just a punch of drooling animals?

You wanna see drooling; go to villagio mall mall on a Thursday night.

Weed affects your energy and causes short term memory, which in turn will inadvertently lead to loss of motivation.

It’s what the PSYCHOLOGISTS and neurology experts say about the thing.

What you don’t trust physiologists?

I know some very highly motivated and super productive weed addicts hehehe

Freedom ends where public domain starts...and its not freedom if it causes harm to one's self and others....what u call freedom is what I call immorality that corrupts the society. With the exception of ONE MOVIE...I still have yet to find one nude scene in one movie that was not done to specifically entice sexual emotions and have ppl drooling like some kindda animal...If someone is that ***** as to need a 20 sec enticement so bad...they r too dangerous to be in public.

You mean invent more freedom crippling laws?

Well it can kill your brain cells and your motivation in life, and used with other drugs, yes it can kill you.

@MN....then u FIX the system...u dont abolish it!!!

@MN

Weed doesnt kill, not all drugs kill..still a drug, still bad, and still illegal in most countries...public nudity is immoral, ergo bad, ergo illegal in qatar...u cannot do anything illegal and say it's my choice!!

Then the censorship board isn’t doing their job right.

Just 2 weeks ago we went to see the horror/comedy movie “haunted house” and it was full of queer talk.

No censorship exercised.

@MN u might have missed what I said so I'll repeat it

An engineer might design a structure that cracks but u still go back to HIM to fix it, u dont just decide to take over and repair it urself.

To me what happened is a crack so the system needs to be "fixed, upgraded, revised, whatever" not abolished all together!!! u can find drugs in any country even tho they r illegal, does that mean they have to become legalized cuz there r cracks in the system??

I’m sorry SP, but what has drugs 2 do with movies?

Drugs kill.

Movies entertain.

Don't worry folks. Latest research has shown that audiences prefer special effects in films to nudity.

Avatar was the turning point..

I gotcha MN ,,, but see above first, most of the comments related to that mater, include me, i clearly understand one thing that modern world considering nudism as an Art.

So the punch line is: It’s not ok to show J.Lo in bikini but it’s perfectly ok to show a guy getting flirtatious with another guy on the big cinema screen. Hum interesting.

@MN ur statement is like im an adult it's up to me to decide what type of drugs I wanna use...No it's not!!!That's not what being adult is all about.

@MM thanx i cant access youtube noe but I'll check it later....P.S. I took a defensive driving class very recently...and was tested on the percentage and it was only 50%...unless a lot has changed since february

@MN

Officially it is up to the psychologist and only him. An engineer might design a structure that cracks but u still go back to HIM to fix it, u dont just decide to take over and repair it urself. Ppl's business is in the privacy of their homes, cars, pocket or whatever they own...when they r in public domain they abide by the laws of the domain itself and they r not forced to enter that domain if they disagree with the conditions.

There r MANY example where many govs in many decide what's best and ppl r not complaining except about "this minor issue"!!! wearing helmets, smoking in public, glasses while driving, drug control, seatbelts, legal age, car inspection..the list is endless!

Joe:

This is not about nudity it’s about my right as a mature individual to choose for myself...

And seatbelts increase your chance of survival by 70%.

I wonder how this peoples eager to watch nudity,yeah thats sweeter than honey!!!

@Brit

ANY DAY ANY TIME!!! Sex scenes rank absolutely dead last one my rank when I wanna watch a movie...I remember a statement made by a scholar I used to admire may he RIP...he once said "they say if you eat junky food you become a junky...I say to them if you read junky stuff your mind becomes junky"...I guess u can see where I am goin with this.

Supercool :

One serious issue with censoring movies is who decides what is standard and acceptable and what is not?

Is it the traditionalist?

Or the psychologists?

(And why would Psychologists want to censor a scene of J.Lo in bathing suit, but allow faggot seens like in the latest James bond movie where the evil guy was all over James Bond in the big sliver screen in a cinema full of kids in QATAR?

Or the old fashioned wt blankets?

Or the self-appointed saints?

Dear supercool, people have a right to choose for themselves and it's not anyone else's business.

It isn't up to the govt/censorship board or flying spaghetti to decide what society can or cannot read/hear/see

@Miss Mimi

could u plz share such an incident of a death by being hit by a driver human projectile? FYI...statistically speaking...the chance of surviving an accident while wearing a seatbelt is enhanced by a mere 50%...and that was deemed enough to sign into into a law.

Wearing a seat belt doesn't just affect yourself. When you're hit at a high speed you become a human projectile and can kill others in the car or outside the car when your flung about.

@Happygolucky

That's why they say sex sells...and that's the ONLY reason they add it.

Super Cool...I said exactly the same that at times state intervenes when it deems fit depending upon various factors considered relevant to the society, through the example of helmets. So if they feel censoring is required, so be it. I have no qualms at all as otherwise I personally find nudity completely out of place cos if the story line of a movie is interesting it would remain so without everyone going naked which IMO smacks of cheapness targeting audience with cheap tastes or pervs.

I repeat....hoping to get an answer to refute

Most "civilized" societies enforce wearing a seatbelt altho out of all traffic laws it is the only law that absolutely does not affect anyone but urself...can we then deduce that the government need to butt out, or should rely on research and experts of the field???

It was the opinion of the msny universities which awarded them their psychology degrees that says they r the experts....not my opinion...and I cant argue with that...not logically atleast

@happygolucky

Most "civilized" societies enforce wearing a seatbelt altho out of all traffic laws it is the only law that absolutely does not affect anyone but urself...can we then deduce that the government need to butt out, or should rely on research and experts of the field???

Does every person with a drivers license know the benefits of the seat belt?...sure...does that make everyone wear it? A BIG NO...that’s why the law was born.

Imagine the plight of guy who goes to watch movie only for that "scene" (and finds it edited) :)

"censor board is a board lead by psychologists", that's news actually, I thought they're some retirees :)

Then don't see the Hangover.

You have to see the movie thelonius.

The engineer knows exactly how much load a bridge can handle...NOT THE DRIVER WHO USES IT!!! the engineer designs it, so he knows what it takes.

Yes the censor board is a board lead by psychologists and ppl specialized in the field...making them a lot more qualified to do the job than u, me or anyone else...they set the rules based on psychological research...they are the experts of the field...it's not some kid with a edit program!!!!

Everyone knows that wearing a helmet while driving a two wheeler has its advantages and can be life saving but still the state enforces over individuals to wear it through fines. Point is, at times state has to intervene through various means and for various reasons deemed right for the individuals or the society, as deeemd fit.

I hate it when they do a crap job with the censorship and come back into the movie in the middle of a sentence. The best censorship job I ever saw was the Hangover 2 in the UAE. They just put a black blur over boobies and penies's and let the movie go on. No parts of the plot lost!

Unique is one way to look at it...most find it rather twisted to say the least...I know for a fact that having a difference in opinion does not give me, him or anyone else the right to be condescending....HINT!!!

Aliens have different thoughts than a human!!! LOLZ :P

Ummmm watching nudity is freedom of speech!!???

I always looked at it as legalized prostitution!!! Unless u have a problem with that too!!!

Ppl go to jail for paying a hooker for some sexual service...any sexual service of any kind no matter how big or small...if any movie includes any nude scenes which for some reason are always sexual in nature then in essence part of the fee paid to watch the movie goes to the nude scene....ergo "prostitution"

MN U ninny ,, u missed it

OH MN somebody would have guide u in proper way !!! LOLS.... Morning Guys!!!!

watching a birth video in biology class at the age of 14 that's when I first lost my virgin eyes ):

Exactly sulie ,, those scenes were removed.

this is why i don't watch movies in cinemas here.

good or not, a film is a work of art. something's lost if someone else removes a part of how its creator intended it to be. too bad some people here don't understand that.

Demeter ,, dear it is normal that u like Jason Statham and i live my lovely Jennifer,, u r a gal and i am a man :O)

Joe ,, Damn, Titanic without the car and the painting scenes is bullsh!t :O(

Mn-01 ,, i was 5 years old :/

So what happen if you're watching an erotically inclined movie and you're getting an arousal? How are you going to relief yourself?

Think of it as their way of protecting yourself from getting a permaban from every cinemas because you got caught fapping next to a virgin.

It is also seen as a form of protection..

Well here’s why I’m against movie censorship.

1-It depraves people from having a choice in what they want/don’t want to watch.

2-Govt's will abuse their authority to prevent free speech.

3- Can turn a ground breaking movie into something quite boring.

4- It encourages cyber piracy and cyber theft.

5-kids end up watching the pirated uncensored version on their laptops anyway!

Watching a movie while lying in bath tub with hot water and cans of beer around is much more fun and with someone to give company it just gets better than the best...:)

britexpat... oh damn... make sure you keep that window closed...

If you are at home, then you can choose to watch in your birthday suit ..

Rizks you really are a genious...

blisteringbra, you mean in Lungi's ? :)

I prefer to watch it without my pajamas...

Burn all the cinemas and get urself a Satellite connection then.

Cimemas are in the public domain.. Sattelite channels are not !

why not buy a uncensored CD, grab some poppadum and botatoe chibs and watch it in ur house ?

Or buy your own land and make your own rules :O)

basic rule : follow the rule of the land

(or leave the land to some other land, then follow their rule of land :P)

Last Tango in Paris was art !

SuperCool: You know the funny thing is that censorship authorities will focus so much on keeping sex and nudity away from kids/ Public but then have absolutely no problems showing gruesome ‘n teeth gnashing stuff on the big silver screen violence in all it's forms ‘n the ugly things that give them nightmares.

so many problems exit with exit permit is the best solution

so u watch movies only for nudity...i will give you a simple solution...take a mirror, remove all ur clothes and see ur self in the mirror...dance few steps...it is like watching nudity live infront of mirror..and yes...pls do post some pics

I remember the other day i had asked britey to give me the CD for "2fast and 2 furious" movie, he was so furious tat he fastly gave me tat dirty CD in which many nude scense where there which lasted for more than 20 secs...:(

Oh man Brity what about me, i lost my one tire of cycle, pick up me at abu hamour cemetery

iam joining u...;)...going to be interesting...;)..btw which movie will that be ;)

I guess it is more of a loss of continuity in the movie than anything else, atleast to me. But deprived pervs looking for a 20 sec thrill can't be ruled out too...:)

R there really that many deprived pervs on QL looking for a 20 sec nudity thrill!!!!

i'll get my binocolours too ! :)

I'll bring the popcorn and Rizks...

Maybe we must ahead to kareena's residence on this weekend!

Riskz - "do giggle whenever i read your 'job title' in your profile...:)" --- hahahah!

i HATE when they censor the herione taking bath ! :(

and by the way, why the hell the heriones take bath in towels ? :(

I guess nudity in a particualr scene makes it as it should be...say for ex. the hero entering the heroine's home and straight into her bedroom while she has just dropped her clothes to get into bed, etc etc. It would be abnormal to see the heroine get into bed in work clothes and also the hero entering the home a bit earlier (I love such timings)...:)

"i can watch is in my pajamas"..lols anyone asked wat u r wearing while watcihing an uncensored movie ? :)

going to cinemas.. I download and watch it at home on my projector.. It is so much more fun, the movie not censored, i can watch is in my pajamas, I don't have to spend 25 riyals on popcorn, pepsi, nachos etc, microwave popcorn are so much more economical.. And i can take a bathroom break as many times as I want by hitting pause button. last but not least, no annoying shouting crying kids around..

Ahem, live tat part alone.

Rizks yes we saw the art when your lungi flew away in the windy weather..:)

watching nudity is an art.

have read tat the other day in britexpats post...:)

I still don't get why ppl want to watch nudity, especially in public!!!!

I am amazed that ppl are so demoralized that nudity has become a norm to them so much so that they yern to watch it and complain about it not being available around the corner!!! GROW UP!!!

MN01 welcome to Qatar..:)

the censored part can be another good movie if they put them together.. anyway my opinion censorship is why you wear clothes in public

Lols HGL, will wait for tat precious moment buddy ! :)

Agree that my posts should be crappier to survive ....:)

Will try to go down that drain when I post a new thread after some 12 months or may be earlier or later...:)

Indeed Demeter, and i do giggle whenever i read your 'job title' in your profile...:)

MN, Why Every Morning you are coming with BAD NEWS ?

Dont you have anything else to without Complains ?

Morning Rizks! awww, thank u. you're such a great fan of my biceps

Lolz rizks what about if couples started to make love? :P

Here’s what I think, show the movie uncensored and if it offends somebody then change the movie hehehe

Sul: how old were you when you saw the moive?

Hard luck sulie,,, even i faced a tragedy they have totally censored the best scene of titanic 3D version,,, i can understand your feelings bro.

HGL, can you please take the honors to post something new crap where we all can talk crap ? :)

Yawns.................this has been talked to death on QL. Search before posting the same old crap...:)

Morning Dem.

Suli - crying over JLo? Jason Statham is hot but not JLo. I can't find her attractive wearing sexy outfit and btw, it's lingerie not bikini. ;)

m fine thank you Sulieman...

getting back to the topic, which movie did the OP saw which was censoried - m curious to know ?

mak18 ,,, and people wonder why i can't save money,,, it is because i keep changing it from time to time :O)

Rizks how are you today dude?

Yeah guys, it's better to watch online,,,

ROFL Sulieman....

Change your pillow.

You are such a cry baby!! :P

One time i went to Villaggio cinema to watch Parker (Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez)

I saw the tailor on Youtube, there were a scene for Jennifer Lopez in the bikini, and they cut it in Villaggio cinema, i wanted the ground to Swallow me that time :O(

And there were tears on my pillow that night :'(

I am amazed by your skills : to whine/moan on daily basis about something in Qatar.

Get real dude!

can any one tell me the name of tat movie plz ?

Morning boys! MN and Britey is correct. That's why I dnt watch it in the cinema coz I know they will cut and edit it, I watch it online :).. hihihi .. pirating :)

My question to the people going to watch movies is : Why bother to show up at a movie in Qatar, when you know that movies here cut...

so which movies do you watch late nights ?
