What about Zoe & Wash taking a shower?

Or Inara, during "a job"?

Mostly that "Mal and Wash naked for torture... that would be okay" bit.

That's, well, a mite odd, as they say.

Not that strange actually. Standard methods of torture begins with the subjects being naked. Clothes give you a sense of security. Being naked in front of strangeres makes most people uncomfortable and if I remember correctly, the guy hanging upside down in Train job was naked or close to it.

So Mal and Wash nude while being tortured is a legitamite reason for nudity.

Kaylee, Zoe, Inara, River and Saffron enjoying a stop at a hot springs resort (ALA Comic Party OVA) or deciding to play beach volleyball (ALA DoA) does not really have a plot point.

Same goes for changing clothes, taking showers or getting caught in the rain.

Inara working= no problem
Zoe and Wash= no problem
Mal and Inara= Looking forward to it

Reavers raping lots of young girls= no thanks.

Oh no, I get it. In all seriousness, I even get the point that nudity in service of the plot is okay, nudity which serves to neither illustrate a plot or character point does not. I just thought the quote, taken out of context, was hee-larious.

But then, torture is always a laugh riot.

I find it hard to believe any guy would say, "Please, don't show me nudity."

????

The shower scene in Starship Troopers was great. I don't think there's anything wrong with gratuitous nudity, I like it and it doesn't bother me at all.

Gimme some Firefly nudity! I want an R rated movie, hell ya.

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against gratuitous nudity, but I would rather the FF movie did not win over fans because of River, Kaylee and Inara bathing each other.

Of course that would probably become my favorite scene very quickly.

What do you think about Mal in trash then,

I think it was intended more for comic relief than a plot point, but I think it was both well done and tastefull.

I agree with your points about the movie industry, but I haven't seen anything Joss wrote or directed that went that way.

Yet another reason why I thought Starship Troopers the movie sucked, while the book is a personal favorite.

Hey Gino,

I have never read the book Starship Troopers but I just bought it and I'm starting it tonight.

I bought a few Heinlein books because all of you guys talk about the guy.

Okay, let's talk for a minute about boobs, butts, and vaginas. I would imagine that the crew of Serenity saw each other naked all the time. I've spent my fair share of time in co-ed dorms and I know it is true.

During a job on a hot desert moon, the Serenity crew comes across a lake and they all go skinny dipping and have a water fight. I say, give me that scene with some butts and boobs. It's real, it shows how they bond, what's wrong with that?

Inara: Are you cold?

Jayne: Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, my little man's cold.

I hope you enjoy Starship Troopers, the first time I read it my Sergeant lent me his copy while we were sitting around during a field ex up in Wainwright.

Lots of women in the army, never saw a whole lot of boobs, butts, and vaginas. Well unintentionally anyway.

Nudity in a good movie is tough, the way it is usually done it takes away from the story, and the story is what I like the best. It could be done, just not in a gratuitous way.

Just an interesting note, when you get to the part about camp Arthur Currie, he was a WW1 Canadian General who lead the battle of Vimy Ridge. I spent alot of time posted to the base here in Calgary, Currie Barracks. Thought it was just a cool historical note, endeared the book to me even more.
