BY LifeSiteNews.com By Gudrun SchultzLOS ANGELES, United States, April 4, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Directors of erotic mainstream films are blaming the government of president George Bush for the current lack of interest in erotic thrillers, Reuters reported yesterday.“Anything that is erotic has been banned in the United States,” said Dutch-born Paul Verhoeven, who directed the first “Basic Instinct” in 1992.“Look at the people at the top (of the government). We are living under a government that is constantly hammering out Christian values. And Christianity and sex have never been good friends.”Writers for the erotic mainstream industry can’t seem to get their film ideas accepted, and they agree it’s the fault of U.S. political conservatives. “We’re in a big puritanical mode,” said writer Nicholas Meyer, who worked on the script for “Fatal Attraction.”“Now, it’s like the McCarthy era, except it’s not ‘Are you a communist?’ but ‘Have you ever put sex in a movie?’”Increasingly, studios are avoiding so-called “adult” themed material. Some producers say the genre’s limits have been reached and the material is not worth producing, but others suggest there is a lack of interest in sex themes for mainstream movies because Internet porn is so easily available, and television has become more sexually explicit.“Why pay $10 to see something at the movies that you can see for free on the Internet?” said producer JC Spink. “I think the genre is suffering because sex is more pervasive in our society now that it was 10 years ago, from Vanity Fair ads to reality TV. I mean, there’s porn stars on reality TV.” http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/president-bush-blamed-for-failure-of-erotic-film-industry/
