if I never see another sex scene in a horror movie where the sound turns quiet and discordant and the camera slowly sulks away from the bed

hey! I was watching that! what kind of Prude Gaze bullshit is this

like fair enough finding some excuse to end the scene if you're worried about your rating or your actors' comfort, but literally cutting to a train entering a tunnel would be less disappointing than this overused, misery-wallowing "this sex is Sad, Actually" move

I stayed up too late watching Netflix's Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher, which is incredibly guilty of this (and also shockingly went with that title, instead of a more sleek, modern one that doesn't contain what the kids would call "spoilers")

a group of friends just marathoned 6 Friday the 13th movies yesterday, and I would not say that most of those movies were good, but I can't help but wonder if their shameless embrace of horny and funny murders and people getting naked isn't healthier than the current vogue for everything being a symbol of how fucked up and miserable and Mentally Ill and Traumatized every character and seemingly the entire world is.

sometimes people enjoy having sex! now sometimes they get mutually impaled afterward, but that's no fault of the mechanics of fucking!
