[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 2444166, member: 10397"] Hmmm well as far as the jerky camera thing, I have noticed and been annoyed by that from time to time, but I couldnt really cite examples...and some times it seems to be ok. I seem to be at odds with most here as far as the portrayl of children in movies. In my experience children in movies are almost always portrayed as being spoiled, bratty, whiny, obnoxious, selfish and stupid and this annoys me a great deal as it is inaccurate. Its frequently been my experience that some kids are better behaved and more sensible than many "adults". as a gay male, I find it annoying that movies will include nudity of one degree or other and/or other forms of erotic scenes involving young women to appeal to middle aged straight men and straight teenage boys, but for some reason its unacceptable to include similar scenes with young males to appeal to gay guys (or those straight women who find such visual...stimulas...appealing) The general tendency of western cinema to avoid any sort of mystery, or misdirection or to leave anything unexplained and instead spoon feed the (often inconsistant) details to the audience to be sure they know exactly what is happening at all times (the fact that it does not do that is one of the reasons I love Anime so much). This issue of course tends to come up especially frequently in fantasy/horror/sci fi Tacked on love interests are very tiring (especially in LOTR) All the various male and female sterotypes, if not used in some meaningful context, are very annoying. Again from a gay male perspective the almost total lack of deccent gay characters or storylines, especially in the F/SF/H genre is very irritating. There are others but thats what springs to mind at present. [/QUOTE]
