Should it say mainstream movies since they only compare the top250?

Watching with your family kinda makes it awkward with some random sex scene out of nowhere.

So glad it isn't us millennials ruining everything nowadays. Your turn, gen Z!

if you believe IASIP analysis in s14 e2 "thundergun 4 : maximum cool"; a highly respected source in media studies circles. They put it down to piracy as a prominent root cause.

I think that's a resonably "millenial" thing, at least in terms or p2p internet piracy like napster, soulseek, piratebay, bittorrent.

Dishonest graph, the y axis goes from 65 to around 100, rather than starting at 0

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Don't know why you got voted down. It's true and it's the first thing I noticed about the graph

Ok I understand the comments here where people are saying they dislike sex scenes that don't advance the plot. However there are certain movies where sex scenes are essential to the plot such as Boogie Nights. I can also think of examples like The Name Of The Rose where a sex scene is thematically improving the film (in my opinion).

Sex scenes in film/tv are hard to get right but I'd prefer if directors worked harder to capture/deploy them properly rather than a large facet of human experience disappearing during script interventions by producers and studios.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Boogie nights was high art.

My brain just go ..... when random awkward 30 second sex scene happens out of nowhere or they just start making out, kissing and moaning loudly then suddenly we are in the next scene and everything is back to normal. Why?

Unless the film is sexual in nature random full frontal nudity, stray tits, stray ass, visible privates always makes me so confused.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Naked is okay. Sexual is unneeded. Normalize body.

I sound like some brainswashing machine from 80' movie xD Anyway, I am more rolling my eyes hard at current trend to insert romance everywhere than occassional, non-sexual nudity.

Okay, but what makes it “random” to you? It’s art. Nudity in art has been around since art began—took a few years off for puritanical reasons, sure, but we’re all human, we all share having a naked body in common. And sex is the most natural thing. So to include it in art is just as natural.

Our attitudes toward it have changed. Why, though? What makes you feel awkward about seeing sex or nudity

Good! it always looks "bolted on", awkward, and doesn't advance the plot

Jesus tap dancing christ.

WE HAVE PORN! INFINITE PORN!! 24/7 IN OUR POCKETS!!!

We used to find sex on film exciting, now if we get turned on we pause Netflix and hit the real stuff.

Usually if it pass the 20 seconds I reach for the keyboard to skip ahead.

Three grey value lines is stupid.

Don't be stupid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

what, you want 47 more shades of grey? that'll kinda contradict the OP, though.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago

It's considered a good design practice if you want to draw attention to a particular metric

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

It's about the red line. Don't mind the grey noise.
