That gets my vote too. shudder Oh, and the scene(s) in Side Hackers.
I’ll admit that it does fit perfectly well into the desperate, exhausted, tomorrow-we-may-all-die context, but to not even make the effort to find a semi-secluded corner… eek.
Well, that may not be a problem for the director, Paul Schrader, whose films reveal a tremendous antisexual bias, especially the ones that deal most directly with it, such as Autofocus and Hardcore. He also directed Cat People, a film about people who magically turn into giant cats and then have to kill to return to human form. Apparently is Schrader’s little world, if you’re gonna have an orgasm, you gotta pay a terrible price somehow.
er. who magically turn into giant cats after having sex and then have to kill to return to human form.
Is he Catholic, by any chance?
I wouldn’t know, but you have a point there.
Lilli Tomlin and John Travolta in Moment by Moment. It is supposed to be a romance, yet there is nothing romantic in the film. To say the love scenes are awkward is a major understatement.
Travolta plays a shy troubled young man attracted to the older, bolder Tomlin. If, heaven forbid, you ever watch it, you will be embarassed for the two actors, the director, yourself and any of your relatives who happen to be in the state.

In the “deleted scenes” in the UHF DVD, there’s a love scene between Weird Al and Victoria Jackson. Even Al admits in the commentary, “Who would want to watch me in a love scene?”
According to his IMDB biography he was raised Calvinist, which would probably have been a good second guess:
Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in Ghost.
He also wrote the screenplay for THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST… there has been a lot of speculation that the Calvinism still lies deep within him.
Most recently for me was Angelina Jolie and Ethan Hawke in Taking Lives; despite the baring of Jolie’s ample bosom their sex scene is just terribly unsexy and kind of gross. Ethan Hawke is responsible for much of the grossness factor, but there’s simply no chemistry at all between them that would remotely justify the sort of furniture-breaking, blood-drawing intercourse that transpires. Oh, and the fact that they end up doing it under a collage of crime scene photographs Jolie’s profiler character has assembled on the canopy of her bed so as to immerse herself in the psychology of the killer. Icky.
Cough cough

Thanks for playing. What did I win?
Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in Something’s Gotta Give. “I like sex! Yes, I like sex! I do like it on a train, I do like it in the rain. I do like it in the house, I do like it with a mouse! On a boat, with a goat, in a box, with a fox…I do like grey sex and ham, I do like it, Jack-I-Am!”
Good grief, has that woman forgotten how to reject a script? Embarrassing to watch.
