Showing R rated movie on QF59

[tomlee1986]

According to News Reports - this is QF 59 from SYD to HND and the flight was forced to show a movie for everyone as the IFE failed in flight. The movie is Daddio with Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson. Sadly this is a daytime flight when passengers would be mostly awake...

Flight number should have been QF69?

You thought long and hard to come up with that, didn’t you?

Absolutely disgusting. What streaming platform is this movie on so I know to avoid it in future?

but it was super uncomfortable for everyone, especially with families and kids on-board.

Sure Sure. Everyone minus the outraged normals who race to the internet to post the outrage.

The world is always outraged about something. It’s Kmart one minute, Qantas the next.

"It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting – the kind where you could literally read the texts on screen without needing headphones."

As opposed to the type of sexting requiring headphones so as to be able to read the texts on screen...?

Also, this quote from the article...

As a result, Qantas said staff asked passengers what movie they would like to watch, resulting in the movie Daddio (2023) being played to everyone on the flight.

So... they're suggesting that Qantas flight crew didn't unilaterally select an inappropriate movie. Rather, they asked passengers what they wanted to watch and said passengers selected Daddio. I smell a beat up.

Pretty poor judgement by someone in the crew.
Albeit I'm surprised the words survived the normal pretty conservative editing process.
