1. Vomit. A few years go, some dipshit director decided that if a character in a movie barfed, they should show the ejecta actually spewing from the actor's mouth, and the more chunks the better. Ever since then, this has been the norm in movies.
Totally unnecessary. You don't even have to show the character in front of a toilet. You can show them rushing into the bathroom and then the sounds of puking from behind a closed door.
Hugo Blick? I ask because I've been watching Black Earth Rising and there is a shot of John Goodman vomiting. It's actually a really good miniseries so far. I haven't finished it.
2. Sex scenes. Totally unnecessary. It seems EVERY movie has to have a sex scene, and yet I have not seen a single movie where the sex scene was critical to the plot. I always fast forward through the sex scenes in a movie. They are boring and stupid.
It's pretty much taken away from stuff I would watch. It killed the Tudor's and Rome for me. It seems like they write for stereotypes.
As far as violence, the only person that can get away with that and make a good flic is Quentin Tarantino. He is no more violent than any other but it genuinely fits in the story. He has awesome dialogue. Honestly, every director should be beaten with the Quentin Tarantino dialogue stick until they get it right.
