IDK, I just think that movies where the actors are having sex that competes with porn movies is incredibly stupid and boring and doesn't add anything to the movie. It's like if we had similar scenes of the actors taking a poop. Like WTF are we seeing that for?

It's not edgy, it's not liberating, it's just stupid and boring and honestly 99 times out of 100 off-putting.
IDK why the fuck they do it? One thing is if it's a short clip, that an be OK, but in some movies these clips a freaking LONG, like yes we get it, they slept together, does the scene have to be sop long so I could go to the bathroom and not miss anything?

Or am I weird, do people find it hot?
Usually in European movies it's shorter and done more elegantly, American movies it's becoming like hard core porn. But if I wanted to watch porn, I'd fucking watch a porn movie instead wouldn't I?

    Which ones? For, you know, fact-checking. Because all the US movies I've seen lately show a lot more violence than love sex. Maybe you're just watching 80s movies?

    If it's off-putting, it's not boring.
    If it's off-putting, it literally is edgy.
    If one represses something off-putting, it's very liberating to reveal it.

    You're right about one thing. You don't know why they do it.

    It's off-putting because it's stupid, and being stupid is not edgy, it just stupid.

    I mean it's fair to say in some movies there's jarring scenes that pull from the rest of the concept of the movie. IE if you are watching a rom com, and they decide to throw in a 30 minute chase scene, it's likely to detract from rather than add to the movie. Some scenes bundle well, some scenes bore half of the audience, and would have done better as seperate things.

    It's always fair to complain about parts of a movie that you didn't like, because the quantity of complaints on the whole either encourages the existing movie makers to shift their movies, or in the best case scenerio, encourages someone else to make a movie more focused on the things you like without the parts you don't.

    You are making a straw man argument.
