What is with these people? Does this 'Dr' seriously think that the world relies on the movies to act as their moral and social conscience?

"American Pie 2 (2001) - 7 episodes of sexual intercourse with new partners. No condoms, birth control or consequences"
Really? I'm sure there's jokes about condoms in those movies...

What I really love is the "no consequences" thing, like STIs and pregnancies are detectable immediately...

"If it was incumbent on every screenwriter to punish his or her character for having sex with a dreadful STI, films wouldn't be very enjoyable."
Well, quite. This is why we call films 'fiction' and 'entertainment'. Very nearly a nasty typo there, I can tell you.

How would one have sex with a dreadful STI anyway? My understanding is that they're usually microscopic which would make the size difference insurmountable.

I can always tell a Mr. Dreadful journal entry, they always begin with the word 'bloody...' 
Cripes, this guy would like all films to be like Hollyoaks I think. 
What was someone saying about enjoyable...?

'Snot deliberate y'know... I never intentionally set out to make my Journal entry titles as similar as possible so everyone knows whose Journal it is. Honest, guv.

Kerr Avon hit the nail on the head. Films are supposed to be enjoyable. They are not intended to be sex-ed documentaries.
But this causes me to wonder about one thing. Just how far up one's own butt is it possible for a film critic to be? Is there a measurement there we could tap into? "Thanks for that, Dr. Gunasekera. And congratulations! You just scored a 9 on our patented UYOB meter."

To be fair, I think it's a study in a medical journal that this comes from so to call him a film critic is possibly a little harsh.
