Watching the Watchmen Sex Scene

We're not surprised to learn Watchmen took in $55.7 million, falling short of expectations. After all, it's a graphic novel, not a famous comic book series people have been reading or hearing about for decades, such as Spiderman or The X-Men. It has no movie stars (unless you count an unrecognizable Billy Crudup), a disorienting and uninspired trailer, and terrible buzz. It probably doesn't help that the same douche who directed a dud like 300 helmed this one-- word of mouth after Friday's opening was abysmal and the movie plummeted in the charts on Saturday and Sunday.

Even the film's sex scene has been disparaged. We get the feeling direct Zack Snyder was trying for laughs here, but this is the same guy that thinks Gerard Butler is a genius thespian and that wooden, clunky dialogue is acceptable in any genre. There's also the problem of how this sequence ends, with the most cliched Freudian moment in cinema...

Forgive the quality of these pics-- they are screenshots from a bootleg of a print of the film. But you'll get the idea, especially when you see the Fleshbot video of the scene.

On some sort of darkened space ship, two characters (hey, we're trying not to have any spoilers here) strip and immediately begin having amazing sex-- climaxing to the soaring strains of Leonard Cohen's (terrible) original version of "Hallelujah." Oh, and then one of them hits a button and the ship responds by "unloading" its jets. (See below.) One of the oldest sex jokes in the movie playbook. Yawn.

She's been naked in more movies than anyone except Kate Winslet or, arguably, Mamie Van Doren. (Just kidding. A lot more than Mamie Van Doren.) She's been in sex scenes that were funny, bizarre, or brutal to the point of repulsion.

Here are the five most memorable sex scenes in the long-ogled career of Jennifer Connelly...

5. The Hot Spot

4. Mulholland Falls

3. Inventing the Abbots

2. Higher Learning

1. Waking the Dead

Honorable Mentions: House of Sand And Fog, that brutal sex scenes in Requiem For A Dream, and whatever movie this is (is that Billy Crudup again?)
