I thought Blade Runner 2049 was great & I thought it would have been even better without the unnecessary prostitution & V.R. P.A. storylines

100% sure you can tell that same story just as well without the naked statues of women, objectification of actresses etc. It's a lazy choice

Added little to my understanding of the world, of our protagonist or of the themes of the film. Tangential at best. Damaging at worst.

The visual imagination of the film was so extraordinary. I was so happy in many moments. But oh man was I unhappy in that doubled sex scene

I don't normally put my critical thoughts online. But this matters because it is *totally* tangential to the themes & plot of the film.

When the objectification of/violence toward women is so gratuitous, it is a choice by the filmmakers to include it. I find it irresponsible.

I completely agree. And it's not just irresponsible. It's lazy and boring. It's the modern-day equivalent of "Bring on the dancing girls!"

The tedium of this sort of lazy, in attentive storytelling is thrown into acute and dramatic relief by a film like, say, COMPLETE UNKNOWN.

These days, if I want to see a film with an interesting female character (and I always do), I just look to see what's starring Rachel Weisz.
