Sex has reasons to exist and your issues with it are your own. It’s not just about them being not always about romance but about the characters when done right. They are not just about showing love in romance movies.

You bring absolutely nothing to an argument other than your own sense of correct and force others to bring forward their points so you can ignore them. It’s, as always, a waste to reply to you.

LOL I love the camera man hiding in the corner cause he can’t leave but wants to give them some privacy if they are having a moment.

Yeah a lot of people proclaimimg from their own soapbox of limited perspective that sex is pointless and gratuitous when there are so many stories that don’t work.

We literally have stories that revolve around sex as its own topic like Nymphomaniac Last Tango in Paris that don’t work without sex. But someone got the ick watching Titanic so now apparently all sex scenes are derivative.

Poor Things I watched in an AMC, fuck off with that.

You provided no examples and I provided multiple that are big films that played for massive audiences that sex is used for multiple reasons and not singulary one and gratuitous.

I am not going to list 20 films cause you would deny them just as easily from your place of predetermined correctness.

No you are speaking from a specific point.

Poor things had lots of sex, not about love or romance.

Teeth, is rape.

Even Pretty Woman has a sex scene that is about the lust of the main character with no kissing to show it.
There are plenty of examples to prove you wrong as much as you have examples of your point.

You are the one saying it cause you are making a broad statement from your perspective ignoring all that doesn’t fit into it. It doesnt make you right to selectively pick your examples because it’s the ones you think of and have a problem with you try to apply to the rest of it.

It’s a thing that happens and kinda has to happen. there will always be a story that needs to include at least the mention of it.

What does your affliction have to do with movies and TV for others?

Teens,

They want to believe in a world that isn’t terrible.
Want to have perfect friends they don’t have.
Want social media to be real life.

We are in the era of make believe and roleplay and we wonder why nothing is getting done in the real world.

Sorry but someone still has to have sex out there to give birth to more asexual people.

Right? That’s my thought. We already have a record low of sex scenes in media but people are still complaining about it?

It’s then not about the use but some other social issue, like say social stigmas against sex by a growing authoritarian right while being an act that is performed less and less by younger people on all sides say maybe by fears of the biological outcomes of unprotected sex?

I think it’s just stress at the thought and an avoidance tactic.

What if it’s not about love? Sex can be about many things and for the sake of the story.

Saying it only happens as the result of a perfect romance story is puritan and not beneficial to demystifying sex as an act that humans do.

People downvoting as a reactionary for making them feel bad, but I agree.

Having a stereotype as a character for the sake of “representation” is not representing anything good and is not doing justice to anyone who would be more than a single note character.

I’m tired of bad writing and gimmicks to get people to have a reaction to an otherwise bad story, but that doesn’t mean I want movies with none of the topics in it, I just want it to mean something when it’s there.

Euro trip

Black Swan

Brokeback Mountain

Eyes Wide Shut

Poor Things (which even makes it an important plot about finding your own power through sexuality while it also being a tool that can be used to take advantage of you)

Oh forgot TEETH very different movie if there was no sex

Absolutely. Sex is viewed as either a prideful event to be overly open about or a dark hidden secret that only one should do.

If all we have is extremes no wonder neither side feels very interested in it. It loses the fact that it’s a thing that you just can do. It’s an action that can have lots of intent behind it and some of it is needed for procreation.
As is now it’s too surrounded by argument.

You didn’t think it made sense in game of thrones?

It’s olden days in a hostile world. All there is to do is have sex and die. What felt inaccurate to life about that?

I am desperately awaiting it. But it seems it’s producer and distributor issues.

Interesting! I love 2, and have a weird soft spot for 3 (season of the witch)

I think Six works better as the bootleg cut that floats around. Really gives the cult more and makes it rank higher for me.

I’m worried cause I see the Democrats doing the “smart” thing of finding the exact counties they need to win. And aggressively pushing and trying to play to them alone.

And that doesn’t seem like a smart strategy. In fact it feels like Hillary or Disney’s failings where playing it safe and doing “smart” math doesn’t work to do something productive and barely scrapes them by.
I don’t see this being a landslide. And I’m worried their math will mean nothing in the real world.

That’s a cool way to see an old movie.

Got a favorite?

It’s horror month Baby!
So, far not gotten as much off my list as I would like but.

Bloody Hell: really great film, almost Deadpool esque kinda movie without the 4th wall breaks. They look straight at but never break it. Good action. Good acting. Fun story if a bit underwhelming an end.

Stuart Gordon films: (i.e. Re-animator, From Beyond, Dolls ) and these are just fantastic for the cheap yet super effective practical work. I really love them and gives that right ick factor.

Uzumaki: I like Junji Ito a lot. And I respect that he is a silly weirdo more than I think others do. This show is just as disturbed and silly as his books but does suffer from a budget issue that gets worse as the show goes on. But I don’t think it ever ruins the show. It’s campy and I think it’s gonna be a cult classic that way that most of the others on my list are. You get tension and giggles at bad effects. What more could you want.
