What really pisses me off in movies.

That's exactly it, Canas. That is the master equation right there, albeit it's missing lesbianism specifically. They love that stuff these days, don't know why, really.

And so do I, matter of fact. And it's about the same way with my friends, with the exception of a few them. It was mostly the other kids in my class in elementary school.

And don't even get me started with television. Aye, just thinking about MTV makes my blood boil...

^ Couldn't have said it any better myself. And because of all this random, gratuitous sex and violence in movies with no story to them whatsoever, my friends think I'm just strange for wanting to save my virginity for marriage. Granted, they respect my choice, but they still think it's dumb.

Teenage boys + hormones + random boob shots and sex scenes = sex-crazed masses of today.

Terminator 2 and Aliens for the win, I agree.

But people eat that crap up, I'm afraid. It seems that no matter how bad and cliched a movie may be, especially most "horror" movies released today, people will go see it.

Heck, some people (mostly teens) will go watch it just because of the fact that it's rated R and has gratuitous sex and violence. I guess it gives them some heightened sense of "coolness", if you know what I mean, when in reality, it just comes to show how easily manipulative our youth is becoming. Don't get me wrong, I've been dragged into that before...and I don't quite remember how I came to that sudden enlightenment regarding this, but...

I can't recall the amount of times I've been seen as weird, or even worse, gay in some way because I won't go desensitize myself in front of a campy, B movie quality R rated film, or more to the point, admit that I despise them.

I just don't get it. Nobody wants movies with depth and meaning anymore. If it's rated R with nudity and gore, people go watch it. Doesn't matter.

They say not to judge a book by its cover. Well, this certainly does not apply to everything as many recent Hollywood films have shown.

While I'm on the topic of action and women, if a woman is tough in movies, she HAS to be sexy, and nearly nude. Sexy, cold, probably in leather, but the hero oh so melts her heart and they sex it up.

Nemesiswontdie: LOL, yeah. xD Not to mention if you have sex at all it makes you a slut and you must die, according to horror movies.

Yeah I hate that too.

There some really bad and stupid cliches. I don't get why they always have to be cold and wear revealing slutty clothes. It never ends up making a good character and is just cheap eye candy. It it never lends any real depth to a character.

And because in B grade horror movies eye candy is a must. All the girls that take there clothes of die, and there characters get no depth and are considered nothing more than something to pretty the screen up by the intended audience (Teenage boys mainly). Whereas the ones that keep there clothes on usually get some small amount of development and live longer and die in the some dramatic scene or sometimes survive. It's just an easy cheap way of writing when the movie is focused on gore instead of on a plot line. All generic cliches.


But hay, that's why we have James Cameron films.






To even it out. His films always portray women realistically and proper. Which I think is great. And why he's one of my favorite directors. I think Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor are probably some of the most memorable female protagonists anyways, so it's nothing to worry to much about that B grade movies are full of cliches, they don't get much attention anyway.

What really pisses me off in movies? Action films...nothing more than a goddamn 2 hour explosion w/ bullet dodging and cheap one liners these days...Hollywood is too high on crack, e, crystal meth, and coke to have any clue how to make a decent movie anymore.

You forgot heroine and marijuana.

And painkillers. And anesthetics. And amphetamines. And PCP.

Even then in action movies, they enver seem to quell my desire for ACTION. I go into action movies knowing they'll be shit, but wanting JUST the action. Most fail in that. D=

Remember, anytime a woman like myself trips, we completely shatter our legs/ankles. =D And when we're trying to hide while being chased, we completely give ourselves away by over the top, fake screaming!

you forgot the part where she's half naked and as she's being chased and falls on the ground he clothes slowly start to fall off.

[Inferno04]

cliche serial killer victims who can't stand up after tripping whilst being chased by the serial killer.Whilst when the serial killer trips,he brushes it off and continues the chase.

Yeah that cliche is just awful. e_e

Or how about the one in teeny bopper/rom-com movies, where the lead female is supposed to be, "odd, quirky, and not pretty", yet is just as artifical as the 'villian girl'. Not quirky or odd at all either. I think "She's All That" is one of the worst offenders. "OMG, SHE HAZ GLASSES AND IS AN ARTIST, OH NOOOOOES." And amazingly, all it takes to be "pretty", is to remove glasses and to let down your hair. =o Well screw that, I love my glasses. xD

Usually serial killer victims get shot.

Quarantine had a lot of problems. How about that woman who was watching snow and foaming? Oh she's normal.

That's another one.

Lol, just watch the 4th iteration of Invasion of the Body Snatchers starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. They present a message and then they just skirt it. It makes you feel better than them rather than guilty, leaving aside the rest of the damn movie.

[Inferno04]

I hate environmental movies, or any kind of movie that says, "Hey, save the world by killing yourself, humans fucking suck." It's too overdone. Not many movies with a message like seem to want to GET the message through our brains, just make us feel severely guilty and self-hating. To which, I don't.
