I'd love to see the conventional practice of having at least a nude/sex/love scene in every big picture wither away. Most of the time, it's introduced as a formulaic ingredient in the reigning recipe that is Hollywood-ism which has negatively influenced other foreign film industries. Nothing worse than inorganically shoehorned sex scenes in what would otherwise still be perfectly enjoyable, well-rounded films.

I speak from experience of deciding what to watch with my family when I was young. We'd have to flick through the content warning section of IMDB so my parents would know when to skip forward or cover my eyes. It's annoying and doesn't add that much value, if any. Well-written chemistry can reveal physical intimacy without overtly showing it. I say that while keeping in mind that sometimes it can be appropriate, if thematically or stylistically applied.

it has, where's the 'conventional' obligatory sex scenes in films from this year?

I mean that's great if it's the case? I don't watch as many films recently anymore, but I saw Oppenheimer and that scene was highly cursed and unnecessary.

i agree it was unnerving and it's necessity is debateable/subjective, but it definitely advanced the plot & characters

ITT people who haven't seen a movie in over a decade repeating discourse from 15-20 years ago they read about in class or on tumblr.

the media critique was correct about the media it was critiquing and they more or less won. All that shit moved to HBO and netflix and even netflix shows that last more than a season turn down the horniness (or turn up the queerness) when they don't need it for marketing anymore.
