That's a great review, Lou. We watched about 10 minutes of it, including that awkward sex scene you write about, and found it excruciatingly dull.
And bad sex scenes don't have to be terrible. Mary Harron, who directed "I Shot Andy Warhol" and "American Psycho," did an episode of The L Word featuring one that was brilliantly uncomfortable. But it was funny and visually interesting, unlike this crap. Doug On Apr 19, 2012, at 2:11 PM, Louis Proyect wrote: > One of the most heavily hyped HBO shows in ages premiered last > Sunday night.
