>ME OWN FOOKIN' DAUGHTER... AN ADULT PERFORMER...
how did they predict women being whores?
>>217076621very awkwardly directed finale in this movie
>>217076672Women have always been whores. The difference is society used to shame them for it, which kept them in check
>>217076725paul wanted it to end with george scott finding out his daughter was dead long before he even came to california in the vein of chinatown, but had to change it. for what it's worth, i don't think the bittersweet ending is bad, it's just george c scott fighting and punching a bunch of people in the last 10 minutes is pretty goofy.>>217076672>predictedlol
>>217076621I too watched this on cytube recently
>>217076752Should we bring this back?>The foulest Babylonian custom is that which compels every woman of the land to sit in the temple of Aphrodite (Ishtar) and have intercourse with some stranger at least once in her life. Many women who are rich and proud and disdain to mingle with the rest, drive to the temple in covered carriages drawn by teams, and stand there with a great retinue of attendants. But most sit down in the sacred plot of Aphrodite, with crowns of cord on their heads; there is a great multitude of women coming and going; passages marked by line run every way through the crowd, by which the men pass and make their choice. Once a woman has taken her place there, she does not go away to her home before some stranger has cast money into her lap, and had intercourse with her outside the temple; but while he casts the money, he must say, "I invite you in the name of Mylitta". It does not matter what sum the money is; the woman will never refuse, for that would be a sin, the money being by this act made sacred. So she follows the first man who casts it and rejects no one. After their intercourse, having discharged her sacred duty to the goddess, she goes away to her home; and thereafter there is no bribe however great that will get her. So then the women that are fair and tall are soon free to depart, but the uncomely have long to wait because they cannot fulfil the law; for some of them remain for three years, or four. There is a custom like this in some parts of Cyprus.
