How to use "Lurid" in context?
I love being lurid. It's a quality that IMAX films are infamous for, along with gore and nudity. These days, lurid is used more as a descriptor for a movie's violence than its sex. But there's nothing wrong with sex and violence mixed together, as long as they're done tastefully. When done right, the combination of sex and violence can be erotically thrilling and deeply disturbing all at the same time.
There's something special about watching a movie where the stakes are high, and where every moment is gripping. The violence can be particularly intoxicating because it feels so visceral. And the sex?
