redhorsejacket, in The Friday the 13th Series - re:View (Part 2)

Whivh movie in the series do y’all have the most fun with? I unabashedly love Jason X for the schlocky drivel that it is. I’m glad the series didn’t continue in that vein, but I am supremely pleased it exists.

Oh fuck yes I love Highlander

Please don’t be space aliens again.

Love Cavill, love the campy first and third Highlanders (well, mostly #1), but the second movie is stupid.

That’s not just a Gen Z thing, nobody I’ve ever talked to likes sex scenes.

Most of them are just dumb. Like a guy finds out his mom just died in a bear attack, so he and his coworker have passionate sex for the first time.

Honytawk,

Ah, bear-grief sex.

A classic.

That’s right. If I wanna see that, there’s pornhub etc. In any other movie: skip button. One exception: “The Room”. Makes the cringe complete. Oh, never watch it sober. Of course.

Fungah,

It’s oddly the perfect Hollywood sex scene.

I mean, they try for verisimilitude. When I have sex I of course spend hours under flowing white bed sheets running my hand along my partners body and kind of grinding at them, I mean who doesn’t? But it’s always unrealistic. You never even see the dude you’re paying $5.00 an hour to undulate the sheets, not the dude holding the sheets up so you can stare lovingly into your partners eyes.

Unless you’re watching a romance movie there’s almost zero point to have a romance plotline.

Pretty tired of the horror movies and action movies that just randomly throw in some love triangle or romance plot to try and make the actual plot more exciting, even though most of the time it makes no sense.

Oh I met you three days ago? MARRY ME HANDSOME!

I wish I could go tell this to that hack who wrote the “Iliad”. Like seriously you’re going to go and insert some stupid love shot into your kick arse war story? Oh and don’t even get me started on using the name Helen in a fantasy Greek setting, pffft.

WhiteHawk,

That’s a pretty bad example, since love is the reason that the war started to begin with, making it quite essential for the plot

Egzachly,

Now who am I going to steal the TV Guide from?

Olap, in Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, wants no-mance over romance, a new study finds

Y’all need to go fuck some more. Films like La La Land are really missing something without a sex scene, the chemistry feels really fake and the relationship isn’t believable.

Sex is normal. Sex is good. Sex in films is necessary to convey intensity which a pan from bed shot can never achieve.

Great example: Terminator. Without this scene the whole franchise fails. The film doesn’t have the gravitas when John does die without it. And it’s a highly charged emotional reaction to the harrowing events they have both just been through.

MindSkipperBro12,

Terminator needs to have those two have sex because that’s how John Connor is born.

What isn’t needed is us having to watch the hero fondle her tits for 5 minutes.

Lols,

sex isnt necessary for an intense relationship, and if your romantic pairing requires the characters literally porking onscreen to be believable or to read as having any chemistry you did a shit job writing it

DunkelLicht,

99% of sex on film is casual sex and to claim that “casual sex” is normal and good is not straightforward to me.

For example most of the time with a macho male protagonist, they will show him using women for sex like disposable condoms. Another worrying trend on the rise is plot lines that basically glorify cheating.

I am not bothered by the sex or the nudity per se, but Hollywood loves to glorify characters with very problematic characters.

Good thing we still have Keanu.

So incredibly young. As someone who’s watched Friends so many times on repeat seeing one of the main cast die is unbelievable.

It’s a reminder to live your life to the fullest since we never know when our time can come.

Good.

PissinSelfNdriveway, in Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, wants no-mance over romance, a new study finds

Well no shit. Nobody wants to watch sex scenes with their parents, and when rent costs 3 used cars per month they don’t have a ton of choice.

PowerGloveSoBad,

I think you are exaggerating a bit here. Rent levels are skyrocketing past wage growth, sure, but have you considered that used cars are also getting prohibitively expensive relative to the average income? Three of them would be roughly a zillion dollars if my math is correct

PissinSelfNdriveway,

Well if you people would stop buying your Pepsis and Cosmo magazines then maybe you could afford a 2001 dodge neon … Dammit

vaultdweller013,

Ya can get a used early 2000s/late 90s saburban in my city for about $2000. Mind ya folks trade around cars here like a 1700s brothel traded the clap but still.

Weird. I’m a millennial. I tend to enjoy the movies and shows with more sex scenes. I thought GoT was better when there were more sex scenes (that’s probably not the reason it was entertaining, but it coincided). I find most PG-13 movies uninteresting, like all the superhero crap (except Deadpool, Super, and The Boys). Though, IDK WTF Bridgerton is, but that looks boring as hell. And Euphoria seems kinda sus (since the characters are supposed to be children).

MooseBoys, in Rogue ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Intermissions at Movie Theaters Spur Studio to Intervene

The lack of breaks is the main reason I don’t see movies in theaters anymore.

corsicanguppy, in Rogue ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Intermissions at Movie Theaters Spur Studio to Intervene

received assurance that the movie will no longer be screened with a break.

It’s weird how the projector just breaks down around the same time every movie. Maybe it’s overheating, as it is fine like 10 minutes later.
