YESSSSS! I've been saying for years that it's time for a Highlander reboot. The original series is hard to watch now because TV writing, special effects, and stunt choreography is so much better now! A Highlander series would be amaaaaazing today! SO PUMPED!
Also, Henry Cavill is SUCH A GOOD CHOICE! He's a huge nerd that takes his roles very seriously and loves to keep the show lore accurate and deep!
The new UCLA “Teens and Screens” study, conducted by the Center for Scholars & Storytellers, found that across 1,500 members of Gen Z, ages 10 to 24, young people wanted to see platonic relationships between onscreen characters, and many felt sex wasn’t necessary for story plot. (Only the respondents ages 13 to 24 were asked about sexual content.)
“While it’s true that teens want less sex on TV and in movies, what the survey is really saying is that teens want more and different kinds of relationships reflected in the media they watch,” said Yalda T. Uhls
Somehow gen z’s early exposure to porn has made them more prudish than the religious. Literally. I’ve Seen so many posts on Reddit and had real life conversations with gen z people where they’ve said that they hate when couples publicly say their trying for a baby because it means they’re being “creampied” and that’s awkward for them.
It’s weird for two reasons. One, if you struggle to get pregnant it puts a lot of external pressure on you and you’ll have to go back and let people know you’re potentially infertile. Two, talking about biological things isn’t appropriate in some settings. I don’t want to hear about your colonoscopy. I don’t want to hear that you’re raw dogging your wife. I don’t want to hear about you surgery. Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
That sounds lonely. We all live together. Sharing is a much better default than walling everyone off and judging everyone for sharing really basic parts of life is kind of sad. Obviously there are limit, but “we’re trying to have a baby” and “I’m having surgery” shouldn’t be something that we’re pressured to not share.
I find it more weird that your coworkes talking about trying to get a child results in you imagening them “raw dogging”.
When one of my coworkers had a child born i also didn’t make a point of imagening the delivery process. I just congratulated them and asked them jokingly how much sleep they caught the last night.
Reminds me of some post I read on Reddit regarding a Rimworld sex mod. So many people thought it was completely immoral and had no place in the game.
A game in which you can kidnap and cannibalis children, make clothes of their skin and sell it, a game where you can strap people to a bed, steal all of their organs, cut of their lega so they cant escape and keep them as a blood transfusion slave for ever. Missionary sex between a married couple in their own bed room is wrong and immoral.
That was definitely one of the weirdest takes I have read in a while, still is.
This i can understand though. It is not that the sex itself would be immoral. It is that putting the sex into the context of this violence is immoral.
And i have to say i find this important. Sex to me is an expression of affection with my partner and “sacred” for that. I don’t want it tainted with the banality of pornography or the psychotic issues that make people connect sex and violence.
I just hate the wet noises that accompany it. Same thing with kissing scenes where they have a shotgun mic basically inside their mouths. It drives my sensory issues up a wall.
Well I gotta say I was really looking forward to this since it’s supposed to be a spiritual successor to Re-Animator and From Beyond, but I was extremely disappointed. It’s more weird 90s low budget softcore TV movie than 80s campy body horror. A lot of it had “filmed in the directors house” vibes, which is fine, but the acting is atrocious. I don’t know if they were going for that or not but it was distracting how bad it was. Heather Graham, who isn’t Meryl Streep by any means, but is usually pretty good, had the same expression and tone the entire movie. Even when she was “possessed” by the other entity. She sounded like she was reading off cue cards the whole time.
The premise was decent, based of a Lovecraft story, but I found it pretty boring. I was hoping having Barbara Crampton in it would be a highlight but she was just…there. I’m usually pretty forgiving about character actions in movies. I’m a big believer in that people don’t make smart decisions in stressful situations and can often do incredibly stupid things. That being said, no one in this movie acts like a human. They just go along with things when people wouldn’t and they argue against things that they can plainly see.
The biggest thing for me, and this is probably a very biased opinion because I am a staunch supporter of therapy and have been in different kinds of treatment for a long time, but the way Heather Graham’s character is shown as a psychiatrist was so behind the times and ridiculous that it just infuriated me. Early in the movie she meets a potential patient and talks to him for all of 5 minutes, then goes home and tells her husband all about him and give him a diagnosis of multiple personality disorder. She also hypnotizes a patient to try to help him overcome violent outbursts but she’s able to put him under in seconds and he gets stuck that way while she talks to another person and it’s just too over the top for me. I know the movie is supposed to be campy and silly at times but it just left a super bad taste in my mouth the way they portrayed psychiatry and therapy. But like I said my personal experiences are probably making me take it more personal than I should.
But overall it was pretty generic and disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend it. I really wanted to love it especially seeing it have such a high rotten tomatoes score and lots of critics loving it but it feels like another moment where I’m watching a different movie than everybody else watched.
Am a millennial. Sex scenes in movies should follow a simple formula: don’t do sex scenes, or do real sex scenes.
All that softcore, sex under the sheets while wearing a bra nonsense only serves to make watching it with family a bit awkward. Either make it a movie that stands on its own, or make a movie where I can actually watch celebrity people fuck in full explicitness.
Make it porn or not, both is fine, but don’t try to appeal to both sides. That’s just awkward and frustrating to either
Because what’s the one major thing missing from all action movies these days, guys? Full penetration. Guys, we’re going to show full penetration, and we’re going to show a lot of it.
It makes me happy that somewhere, someone, is reading your comment with no knowledge of the scene you’re referring to. I hope they search for it and are delighted.
It’s also just so … base … like, ok, your characters bonk, we get it, just fade to black. When did a sex scene add anything to a story other than titillation? It’s the equivalent of serving me up another algorithmically targeted TikTok video. I feel like they’re just taking advantage of me.
So, in short, I’d be happy if they leave that shit at the door. If I was searching for porn, I’d know where to look.
I’m a horny af millennial and I also don’t really care for sex scenes. They add nothing to the story itself, and they don’t show enough to be sexy. If you’re not going to show full penetration then don’t even bother.
That show wasn’t popular with Gen Z though. How do I know this? Gen Z doesn’t watch HBO (they can’t afford yet another streaming service and they’re too lazy to pirate anything that isn’t anime because it’s too inconvenient).
I would say HBO’s core demographic is probably about 25 to 54, but ‘Euphoria’s’ target is probably 12 to 29,” Edgerton said. “HBO shows are this sort of high-end, exclusive programming, but they’re going to have to appeal to more viewers than they ever did before, and they’ve done a pretty good job so far.”
“People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours,”
Uh, no Marty, not all of us. I watch movies in 20-minute chunks, just long enough for me to wolf down lunch. Your deep, epic artistic expression is my bite-sized chunk of trivial entertainment split across 10 days.
