[quote=Anonymous]Generally, gratuitous sex and nudity doesn't add anything to a show or movie. This isn't the 80s and 90s. No one needs to see Revenge of the Nerds to see boobs. Nothing about 9 1/2 Weeks is particularly transgressive these days. If you want to see a naked woman or sex, there's the big internet machine. These days in movies and tv, it's distracting from the larger story. People aren't going to tune into a movie or show just because Jennifer Lawrence or whoever is showing some flesh. Plus I think there's been a lot of pushback from actors. The scene really does need to be necessary. And most really aren't. GOT was pretty licentious at first. But as soon as the cast had the power, all those nude scenes were gone. There was the walk of shame episode, but that was a body double. Actors are not doing scenes like that lightly. I needed a new show. So put on the first episode of White Lotus. I kind of checked out when a character was worried about his balls. I don't need those visuals when I'm looking for some mindless entertainment at the end of the day. Didn't get to the second episode. And I think that's pretty normal. People watch shows and movies for the story. Obviously attractiveness is important. But they're not investing a couple of hours for close up zooms of genitalia. [/quote]
