Should I give up on movies?

[Devsman]

I can't seem to find a semi-recent one that's not full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

And I'm not talking about your typical Internet "it's not the greatest thing in the universe, therefore it's crap" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I'm talking, oh look there's a closeup of a dude's naked butt for some moronic reason. Oh look, the G-D word for some moronic reason. Oh look, a sex scene for some moronic reason.

Last week I did a search on the Internet for good movies I haven't seen yet, oh yeah, Django Unchained, that's supposed to be good, got one second in, the top of the screen says nudity and I'm just like WHAT IS THIS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. So I just didn't watch anything.

It's so dumb. The whole Internet will tell you it adds nothing to the movie. But they do it anyway.

lmao, what is this low level trolling?

Dead serious. Why wouldn't I be? I legit stop watching movies halfway through because the director decided "well, everyone knows this doesn't matter, but I'll do it anyway."

you stop watching a movie because of nude scenes?

from your comments in this forum, you don't strike me as someone who enjoys cinema but instead merely likes 'movies.' people who love film (i consider myself one of these) know where to go (online) and who to look for (actors/directors) for good films.

i can't be bothered to engage anymore except to suggest that you broaden your horizons, regardless of how cliche that seems to you.

And it needs repeating that there's a difference between puritcanical silliness like avoiding nudity or saying it's meaningless, versus actual nudity in films that might be there for a reason or doesn't hurt in any way.

I grew up in the 1970s where as kids we learned sex education in JUNIOR school when we were about 10. Full on sex education and it helped us no end.

So when you get a film like say, Blue Velvet, which is a great piece of cinema, the scenes of Isabella Rosselini nude don't cancel it out in any way. They add to the film as it demonstrates how abused she is.

I gave up on movies after rango, hop, percy jackson and the lightening thief, rio, etc.

Twas good times, but after what 2015? or something no, no. It all started with ghost busters I believe.

ESG was like a poison that seeped into everything. A switch was flipped to ruin everything guys liked.

You have bad taste and you should feel bad.
