Watchmen
Return to DiscussionsDid you see the movie: The Watchmen? I suppose you noticed...."lower" Manhatten. What are your thoughts about the dude and his larger than life "thing" dangling all over the screen. Will it help others think of nudity as a cool thing...or is America still shy??
I thought Watchmen was a great movie and having "lower" Manhattan there was keeping true to the comic. Hollywood has always had a double standard when it comes to onscreen nudity. If Manhattan was female there wouldn't have been a second thought to seeing full frontal nudity on screen but because he was a man it was uncomfortable for some because they weren't used to it. I enjoyed Watchmen for starting to break that barrier and hope for more guys to have onscreen time then maybe people wouldn't be so shocked about seeing a penis, computer generated or not.
