What they need to do on the DVD is to have a pop-up feature identifying who is in on the gag and who isn't. The portrait of Nathan Bedford Forrest in the gay conversion office is the kind of detail you can't make up.<br /><br />Interesting note on audience reaction: If you look on the customer ratings of the movie in Box Office Mojo it gets a C+ with an interesting grade curve: 140 As and 95 Fs. This I think indicates the discomfort level of an audience who were expecting a simple gross out based on Borat. I've read that box office receipts went down something over 30% between Friday and Saturday.Robert Fiorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357467040644448167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-84444043889861921942009-07-13T13:08:29.614-07:002009-07-13T13:08:29.614-07:00I left out Oliver Reed and Alan Bates' dual ma...I left out Oliver Reed and Alan Bates' dual male naked wrestling love match in Ken Russell's ironically titled <i>"Women in Love"</i>.<br /><br />The lesson is that if you are a lemming who only watches mainstream American cinema, this subject holds some fascination, whereas if you are not a lame-o and seek out quality art cinema, then you have seen scads of the fellows.<br /><br />Mainstream cinema fantaics = losers.<br />Art cinema fanatics = winners.The Mysterious Ad[ri.an B)e;ta]m.a.x.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14584835204677201232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-16648414160595928602009-07-13T12:51:53.408-07:002009-07-13T12:51:53.408-07:00In modern times, Dave Foley's in Postal is wit...In modern times, Dave Foley's in <i>Postal</i> is without equal (I'm not evaluating the actual member, but just the balls of the lengthy and frank screen time). I shudder to point anyone to a Uwe Boll movie, but if anyone is obsessed with this particular topic, that film is required viewing for the new trail it blazes in this arena. (Although the film is generally unwatchable and I couldn't make it through it.)<br /><br />Also, it seems you are all a bunch of lame cinephiles that I have to remind you of two you can see in Catherine Breillat's <i>Romance</i>-- one small, one big; one in action, one not quite up to it yet. (Rocco Siffredi is one of them.) <br /><br />There is also penis to be seen in Leos Carax's <i>Pola X</i>, but I don't remember it being a particularly landmark scene. (I think it was Guillaume Depardieu, and if I rack my brain, I can probably come up with several <i>Gerard</i> Depardieu movies).<br /><br />Frank Langella flopping around in the Showtime version of <i>Lolita</i>.<br /><br />There are just so many, this exercise is silly. <br /><br />Allen Ginsberg in <i>Ciao Manhattan</i>.<br /><br /><i>Idioterne</i> by Lars von Trier has plenty.<br /><br />There's also superstar John Vernon's golden penis (literally, painted golden) and peeing in the masterpiece that is <i>Sweet Movie</i>. (I believe it's an insert shot, so it may not be his.) There are several others in that film.<br /><br />(Wasn't Adam Goldberg naked in 2 Days in Paris?)<br /><br />Salo has its share, but that just seems unpleasant to mention.<br /><br />That's just the tip of the iceberg off the top of my head. I chastise all involved for lack of thorough investigation of the subject and recommend their film studies credentials get revoked asap.The Mysterious Ad[ri.an B)e;ta]m.a.x.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14584835204677201232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-30473702087295257472009-07-13T12:09:58.422-07:002009-07-13T12:09:58.422-07:00Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

I know because I was one of the few who saw at a theater in '71. Come to think about, I don't know how they let this high schooler (at the time) in for that one?!?

Not mentioned yet:<br /><br />Viggo Mortensen offered up his family jewels for viewing in two films, The Indian Runner (1991) and more recently in Cronenberg's Eastern Promises (2007) which even landed him a much deserved Oscar nomination.<br /><br />John Malkovich went full-frontal in The Sheltering Sky (1990).<br /><br />Jeremy Irons also showed it all a few years later in Damage (1992)<br /><br />Cillian Murphy can be seen fully nude in 28 days Later (2002)<br /><br />Louis Garrel and Michael Pitt are both fully nude in The Dreamers (2003) <br /><br />And last but not least, Alain Delon and his dong can be seen in Shock Treatment (1973).<br /><br />How do I know all this? Because I like all of these actors a hell of a lot! There nude scenes endure them to me.<br /><br />p.s. Full disclosure - Ewan McGregor can also been seen pantless in Trainspotting (1996) and Young Adam (2003). That man enjoys taking his cloths off.

So since they already took that bullet...<br /><br />And thanks for the comment. I've been curious as to how this post would be received. I've always been fascinated by that double standard, as if we as a society are almost afraid to look at the thingie. In Europe I'm sure it's not such a big deal, but in an American film whenever a weener shows up on screen, it is still kinda shocking, not so much for what it is as that we so rarely see them in this context. Maybe Colin Ferrell is <br />right!<br /><br />And I just thought of another great moment in phallic film: Alex being checked into prison in <i>Clockwork Orange</i>, his meat and vegs cleverly covered by the box containing his personal items. You figure it's gonna stay that way, and then the admitting sergeant yanks the box away, and Kubrick immortalizes McDowell's member in the most deadpan way.Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-86111913888957548232009-07-10T15:54:13.825-07:002009-07-10T15:54:13.825-07:00A very interesting and thoughtful post, Dennis.

And I do recall seeing <i>In the Realm of the Senses</i> (at the <a href="http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/LosAngeles/NuartTheatre.htm" rel="nofollow">Nuart</a>) years after it's release when I was older. So, no mental trauma ;-). But I made sure I saw <i>Flesh Gordon</i> as soon as it came out because, well... it had nudity and I was 19. Go figure. I was mildly surprised you didn't mention <i>Caligula</i> in this post.<br /><br />Thanks, Dennis.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-4813857669610840152009-07-10T14:23:00.301-07:002009-07-10T14:23:00.301-07:00That would have to be some kind of horse.That would have to be some kind of horse.Bob Westalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515868620255715845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-70294452586975328632009-07-10T14:14:33.318-07:002009-07-10T14:14:33.318-07:00Ray, why is it that I only seem to want Dodger Dog...Ray, why is it that I only seem to want Dodger Dogs for dinner these days? :)<br /><br />Bob: Thanks for the story. I imagine there are quite a few like it from people who knew about the sex but maybe a little less about where the film was headed. I don't regret having seen it when I did, even though I was far too immature-- and at 17, I'm talking physically immature too. I hit a growth spurt just after I left for college and grew something like five inches in the span of my freshman year, when I saw <i>ITROTS</i>, and graduation. There's no way I looked old enough to see an X-rated movie when I confidently plunked the price of admission at the box office. Of course I rejected the movie totally, and it wasn't till much later that I could appreciate its intent.<br /><br />But truthfully, I was probably more traumatized by <i>Equus</i>.

I think I was sort of relieved to find that giant talking genitalia wasn't a regular occurrence after that.<br /><br />Spoiler alert (if you really know nothing of the film's ending and really want to be...surprised): I actually saw <i>some</i> of "In the Realm of the Senses" at the New Beverly. I knew something of the ending (well, the part of the true incident the film was purportedly based on which had the woman in question walking around town with her beloved trophy). <br /><br />Given my world famoud gorephobia you can probably guess where this is going. Let's face it, I had come...I mean arrived...for the art-house real sex (and it's still the only film I've ever seen with genuinely good actors of both genders having real honest to God sex -- though, by Jehovah, I keep looking!) However, as the choking stuff was happening -- and I really don't dig the idea of being choked (no orgasm is worth that) -- I started contemplating just how graphic the final, er, separation might become. <br /><br />I left roughly half way through and waited in the car for my friend to finish the film. When I asked how real it looked, he said "pretty real." I learned later, through accounts like the one written by the more appropriately named than ever McWeeney's, just how real most viewers find it. And I've never regretted my decision to walk out...nor my decision to see it.Bob Westalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515868620255715845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-8007884044554413652009-07-10T11:07:19.391-07:002009-07-10T11:07:19.391-07:00Dennis, are things all right at home?Dennis, are things all right at home?Uncle Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08501032829800803300noreply@blogger.com
