    Many people in this very thread are asking cronenberg not to do sex scenes and saying there are 0 “valid” sex scenes in all of film and cinema, that all sexual content should be prohibited

    I feel like you live in a different whacko world universe than me where Hollywood blockbusters still have sex scenes in 2023. It’s been more than a decade since there’s been any “titillation” scenes in mainstream movies. Movies need more sex and life, not less. There was a brief period from the 70s to the 90s where sex in movies was somewhat common, and it’s not a coincidence that most of the best films of history arose from this period after censorship had been loosened but before profit had fallen and monopolization taken hold, stagnating the industry.

      Oppenheimer had a scene where he reads from the Bhagavad Gita while fucking and it was the lamest thing I have ever witnessed. I did not want to see every one of florence ough’s ass pores projected on a 7 story imax screen. Makes me so fucking glad Anglos can’t read my religion’s holy texts.
