It was on Sundance or IFC a few nights ago. My wife went to bed early and of course I stayed up watching "speed" (with very low volume).
I had heard so many things about this movie that I guess my expectations were a bit high. I had never seen it. I admit, it must have been quite racy in 1972.
The biggest letdown ofcourse, was the infamous "butter librication" scene. This scene comes on about 2/3 through the movie and I knew, in great anticipation, that when Marlon asked Maria Schriever to get him "the butter", that we were close.
But it was not sexy at all. In fact he raped her. Nothing exciting (in my eyes) about it and it was even a bit repulsing. Mind you Im no prude. Im a guy and I like my porn as much as the next guy, but watching a fifty-something, overweight Brando rape an beautiful and innocent looking 18 year old, made me actually change the channel to 607 and Nasscar (the Busch beer sub series) of all things.
It didn't last long though and a few seconds later I was watching a naked Brando again. And I'll go as far as to say that Id rather watch a naked Brando than thje Busch Nasscar series any day.
