So true. And all too often it comes across as merely an item on a checklist. No heart. Mind you, I don't object to nudity in principle.

Then there's witless dialog. Take Bad Boys for example, with every other word an f-bomb. It's just tiresome after a while.

When I dislike a movie, to hell with the "artistic vision". Though I've never thought I could improve a movie I find objectionable in some way, with any amount of editing. Waste of time and effort.

Thank goodness there are plenty of good movies too.
