second or third Hollywood release has one. Most recently, I saw History of Violence. The wife, yup, heaves out her guts, and it wasn't for any reason one would associate with causing that reaction.
Seriously, please notice how often this is if you haven't, yet.
I don't know why except it does make a character more noticeable, kind of like smoking a cigarette. Bring back smoking if that's the alternative...
Follow Ups:
Seems you can't watch a movie with watching and hearing some guy take a leak any more. How long 'til we're treated to "dump" scenes with appropriate sound effects.
"Most recently, I saw History of Violence. The wife, yup, heaves out her guts, and it wasn't for any reason one would associate with causing that reaction."
You are kidding right?
...'Team America - World Police". Puppet vomit - yuck!
...I just ddon't get to upset by cinematic upchuck.Wife's reaction in HoV seemed...normal....to me .
.
she knows he killed two guys at the cafe. Then, she watches as he smashes one guys nose through his skull and brutally kills two more in her front yard. No puking.
She curses like a Marine throughout the movie and engages in sex so rough she's bruised like a WWE participant.
No puking, yet.
She finds out her husband was in the Mob.
She pukes.
Yeah, real... logical.
...was in Bergman's "The Virgin Spring." After the kid bites into the frog sandwich. It wasn't even the hardest part of the sequence to watch. I'm sure Victor K., and the other film experts remember. It was effective and excruciatingly unpleasant to watch-mind you, I was very young when I saw it-under ten years old. I was strongly affected by the experience, and cannot stomach (not really a pun) puking for effect, rather than for a legitimate dramatic result. Remember Robert Duvall's prank with the cream of mushroom soup, in "The Great Santini?" How about the actor in "Helter Skelter" (the tv movie/mini series) who got sick after seeing the Manson family murder victims, Sharon Tate, et al? Or how about M.Python's "The Meaning of Life," and Mr. Creosote? Flounder tossing up on Dean Wormer in "Animal House?" You didn't even see it happen-you only heard it. Only a few filmmakers can get away with showing extreme human behavior, like that, and have it lead to memorable event. Hope you don't object to my rambling.
Been downhill ever since then. Smoking should stay out of movies. Vomiting, at least, ain't gonna kill ya. Cept maybe Karen Carpenter. And Jimi. And Janis. And Stumpy Pete (But that was someone else's vomit)

The real fun for movie hogs is noting the phrase: "shut the fuck up".
This is extremely prevalent in B's, some A's and every C grade.
