SCOTT THOMAS REFUSES LOVE SCENES WITH FIENNES
British actress Kristin Scott Thomas has refused to be intimate with her
co-star Joseph Fiennes for their latest movie, "Man to Man," because she's
"tired" of appearing in love scenes.
While the Oscar-nominated star, 44, enjoyed a steamy on-screen affair with
Ralph Fiennes in 1996's "The English Patient," she is adamant his younger
brother and she keep their clothes on for their latest film.
A source says, "It's nothing personal.
"She said she was tried of having a romance with the leading man in every
film she appears in

So why'd she accept the part in the first place? Idiot.
Perhaps because he refused to have an off-screen love scene with her.

I don't mind if she keeps her clothes on, but I certainly wish Joseph would
prance around in the nude for an extended period.

Good gawd, I didn't know who Joseph Fiennes was so googled him. He looks JUST
like a guy I er...dated a while back. As for Kristin, she is not attractive at
all imho, all that veiny-face-stuff, always seems to portray herself (which is
annoying), and I imagine Fiennes must be quite relieved.

or maybe her husband got fed up. he's not in the biz and maybe he just got
fed up watching movie after movie of his wife and mother of his chidlren
writhing around nude with male co-stars.
If that's the case, he shouldn't have married an actress.
I read her French husband is a gynecologist; it would seem to me that his
job isn't that different from her's.
They both have to deal with sex in a non-sexual way.
Isn't her husband a French OB-GYN? Of all men, wouldn't he be a
little more tolerant than most regarding his wife's profession? It is
acting, after all. Should she object to his chosen career? And the
French are more worldly, less Puritanical, about sex methinks.

he doesn't take his clothes off and simulate sex with naked patients, the
way his wife does with almost all of her make co-stars. no, it's not the
same.

as i said before, her husband doesn't take his clothes off and simulate sex
with naked patients like kristin does with her male co-stars. it's hardly
the same thing. hardly.
I have yet to read about an actress who got turned on by performing love
scenes; all the articles I have read talked about actresses stating "It's
just part of the job" or "This is always uncomfortable". Listen to Jennifer
Aniston's commentary on The Good Girl DVD when you get to the sex scene
between her and Jake; it sounds like it was the worst part of the filming
for her.
I worked with a gynecologist one year and he was an example of one who got
WAY too chummy with his patients, so saying it's hardly the same thing may
be too sweeping a statement. Some actors cross the line regarding sex and
some gynecologists cross the line regarding sex.
It's all about how you view the requirements of your career.
I can certainly understand her because after a while I can imagine it
feels like you're a piece of meat on display. There was an actress
(can't recall who?), a few years ago who seemed to appear naked all
the time and even I became tired of seeing her naked flesh on-screen.
Funny thing is, I can't understand why she chose THIS man to stop
doing love scenes.
Well, if she doesn't want to do the scenes with Joseph I would
certainly volunteer because that man is simply EXQUISITE! *sigh*
(they wouldn't even have to pay me!) *hehe* :-D

it's possible she just doesn't like him. i don't know much about him, i used
to be a huge fan of ralph's and i know far more about him. joseph is
gorgeous, this is undeniable, but maybe he's creepy. you just never know.

Here's a *really* significant difference: She doesn't do her job in her
own private office with no one else watching.

i don't know how things are in france, but in america doctors no longer do
these types of intimate exams alone. i have been with a male doc and a
female one and each time both docs had female nurses come in with them. i
was not *alone* in a "private office" with the doctor. futhermore, this
STILL has nothing to do with what KST does with her male co-stars onscreen.

Why do you think male doctors are not allowed to do vaginal exams alone
anymore? Probably because there were OBGYNs who were abusing enough women that
it was universally decided to add a chaperone for the woman's protection. But
it wasn't always this way either. FWIW the female doctors who have given me
paps have never required a chaperone.

The chaperone is there to protect the doctor as much as the
patient, maybe more so.

it's not just male docs. as i said i've had both male and female docs and
they both had chaperones. and it's not just for the patient's protection.
it's for the doctor's protection, too, so that he/she isn't getting accused
of something he/she didn't do so some greed-hog can sue the hospital. in any
case this STILL has nothing to do with KST getting naked onscreen with male
co-stars.

EXACTLY.
Had an exam about a month ago, female OBGYN, female nurse present
throughout.

Actually it's the other way around, a nurse is there to protect the Doctor from
being falsely accused of molesting a patient.

that's exactly the point i was trying to make. it's not just male doctors
and it's not just about protecting the patient. the doctor needs to be
protected, too, against people who accuse them of things so they can get
money out of a lawsuit.
Well, remember what our esteemed president said a few months ago: OBGYNs are
no longer able to practice their love on women.

You're right. For his protection too.
But it does. If, as some have suggested, the concern was jealousy on
her husband's part, why doesn't she have equal reason to be concerned
about him?

My current and former obgyn are/were women, and never had a nurse in the
examination room. Before them, I had male doctors, and there was only a
nurse in the room when assistance with a procedure was necessary. But
that WAS a long time ago.
WHen I see any male doctor for the first time, there's often a nurse in
the room, but generally not after the initial assessment that I'm not a
loon.
But you're right, Salome. We don't know what the practice is in France.

Me either. Ralph got the looks.

I live in America, & I've never an extra person in the room with me
during my gyne exam. Just me & the doc in private. I think what the
person was trying to point out is that they both are doing non-sexual
acts so he nor she shouldn't be jealous. It's acting. She shouldn't
be getting off on it anymore than he is getting off on exams.
Besides, her kissing someone or dry humping is way less contact than
what a doctor does during an exam.

bullshit. simulating sex, while naked, with a naked co-star is NOT the same
thing as what a doctor is doing in an exam room. don't be ridiculous.

b/c touching a woman for MEDICAL purposes, not sexual purposes is NOTHING
like CHOOSING to take your clothes off with a naked male co-star and
DELIBERATELY choosing to simulate sex. for god's sake, why is this so hard
to understand? one has NOTHING to do with the other. and i said nothing
about jealously. i said ****maybe**** he's tired of seeing it. obviously,
SHE'S tired of doing it.

Apparently I didn't make myself clear. I was not talking about the
medical aspect of being in a room with a half naked woman with her legs
spread. I meant that the opportunities for real, not simulated, sex
were far greater for the gynecologist
than the actress.
So the question is, why should he have any influence on the roles she
plays, if she doesn't have any control over wht he does with the women
he examines?
And if you recall, all of this was speculation in the first place. So,
that's what I was doing: giving MHS.
Lily
======================
Docs: A License To Kill?
In states like Texas & Louisiana, there seem to be no enforcement of
the laws concerning doctors & "medical care", no quality control &
such.
The Texas Dept of Medical Examiners is a bad joke. They refuse to
investigate bad docs & their crimes. They told me, that nothing is
against the law for doctors in Texas, not assaults or murder, nothing.
The docs brag that the govt passed laws saying, that they don't have
to work for the emoney they take, that they don't have to help
patients, ... that they (docs) are "protected" by law now, no matter
what they do or don't do. They have a "license to kill", to murder &
get away with it.
-----------
Docs' Employees
Usually, the docs examine you (assault you, whatever), with no nurse
or witnesses present. And their employees either ignore your screams,
.... or will come, stand there & watch, while smirking & snickering.
If their employees cared or called the police, then they'd be a
liability to the doctor, & would probably be fired. This seems esp.
true at the universities in Texas & Louisiana (such as L*SU in
Shreveport).
The legislature has passed special laws to protect the universities in
Louisiana, .... such as $100,000 limit on damages, so no lawyer will
take the case. And that you have to go through a panel of judges,
before you can sue a doctor, which can cost million$ & take many
years, ... money you can't recover. Then, you have to pay for the
court trial, which can cost millions & take decades, ... money you
can't recover.
So at L*SU, the docs can assault a patient for hours, & no one will
help the patient.
-----------
Govt Propaganda
If the patients get wise & stop going to L*SU, then the LA govt will
run a special on TV, saying how great the L*SU docs & their care are.
?!
They need naive & desperate people, for their med students (& docs) to
practice on, to lie to & con, to harm & then neglect, to victimize
(assault or murder).
---------------
Bad Cops: No Investigations, No Accountability
The administration refuses to investigate crimes.
Crimes on campus can't be reported to the regular police, but must be
reported to the campus police, .... who refuse to investigate, & who
laugh at & ridicule the victims, or threaten them.
And the state police won't do an investigation, of the campus police.
-----------
Bad Cops: Bullies & B*stards
The campus police say, that if an investigation is done, then the DA's
office needs to do it.
The District Attorney's office says, that the campus police are
supposed to investigate these crimes, but won't order them to do so.
It's a Catch-22, no-win situation for the patients.
As a result, L*SU is a place best avoided, by patients seeking medical
care. It probably couldn't be or get much worse there. It's an out
of control bad system.
They do have a small medical library, which the public can access, to
try to learn to help themselves/ourselves, .... & a copying machine.
However, their campus is located in a bad area, is very dangerous, &
crimes there go uninvestigated.
---------------
Bad Govt, Bad Laws
Medical care probably couldn't be worse in Texas & Louisiana.
The Texas govt keeps passing more laws, to protect the bad docs, &
just lowered the damage limit to $500,000, .... in order to better
protect the thieving, harming, murdering vermin-type docs here.
----------------
As for witnesses? The docs are "protected predators" "privileged
predators" here, & don't want witnesses, .... so they usually meet
with you alone, no nurse or assistant in attendance.
Fortunately, I've found a good OB/GYN whom I can trust.
----------------
The Sins of the Psychs
The medical system is a nightmare here, & the psych system
(psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors) is the worst, esp. at
hospitals & the universities.
The psych system seems mostly set up, to enforce the bad & corrupt
systems (like medical, govt, legal). It seems mostly set up to work
against us, & to negatively label & harm anyone who is a thinker, who
reports crimes and/or asks questions, .... anyone who wants & tries to
have good morals, who tries to fight back & defend themselves & others
from the crimes, criminals, & meanness here.
Things (esp. medical care) here in Texas & Louisiana, are most
definitely NOT like they're shown on TV shows, in the movies, & in the
media.
We've been badly betrayed.
Susan, Su_Texas my opinions
Obviously, it's not the same thing. That's not what I'm saying. I
said that he shouldn't be jealous of her doing her job just like she
shouldn't be jealous of him doing his. He shouldn't be jealous of her
kissing someone, & she shouldn't be jealous of him touching another
woman's breasts. Both are activities that don't provide sexual
arousal in those circumstances. They're both professionals doing
their job. FYI, actors & actresses aren't really naked while they're
"simulating sex" on camera.
You're right though. It is all speculation. This might not have
anything to do with her not wanting to do love scenes with him. It
could be any number of things.

It's much more emotional. Obviously, her husband has an arrangement that
she have no kissing scenes. They know the odds and the breakups between
married actors or actresses due to on set affairs in the last few years
have been many.
Remember that the kiss is rehearsed numerous times, goes through many
takes, and quite often the two participants, will, er, rehearse quite a bit
in private.

Kissing is way more intimate, even with people watching. You see one kiss
on screen. That kiss translate into much practice time and very often, the
pleasurable sharing of saliva.
