Wow! I sure would like to see that Tommy Wiseau film. He reminds me a lot of the guy who was lead singer in the group, the Mysterians who was called Question Mark. The hair style or bad wig also looks like he should be imitating W.C. Fields saying "Ain't a fit night out for man nor beast" with snow hitting him in the face.

Feego, you forgot to mention the excised nude scene of Henry Jones in "The Bad Seed". Remember, he was sleeping on the excelsior and heard that little "tap, tap, tap" of her shoes coming down the incinerator and rushed over sans culottes and then the fire started and he tried to break down the down that Rhoda Penmark had locked from the outside. Henry Jones in the nude looks a lot like Tom Ewell in the nude, uh...from what I've heard!

I've not seen this movie. Would I like it and what is the porpoise of nude land whales in the plotline, CG? Hey, I just noticed we have almost the same initials of CGJ, Joe but I promise you all, I am NOT Cigar Joe. He is much smarter and way more sophisticated than I.

Oh, gosh I remember that! I wonder if it was in Kramer's coffee table book?

Sure I marked the Laugh button, but what I should have said is: "You guys need to stop!!!"

Yeah, but there was one scene in the old "Perry Mason" show where Burr was forced to run on the beach, which was almost as scary to watch as if he'd done a nude scene.

Whoa! I wonder if Elsa Lanchester would have approved of that. Hey, Derek Jacoby had no nude scenes as Claudius in the BBC production. I'm surprised they did not have some with Patrick Stewart back when he still had hair...

I think Altman also said in movies about undercover agents, nude scenes are obligatory! Just kidding. Enjoyed your "brief" comments! The word "brief" just reminded me of Glenn Close's nude scene, well almost complete nude scene in "Fatal Attraction" and I think hers was quite effective and nothing to be embarrassed about...

I missed that one in "Doc Hollywood". Should I be glad?

I'm sure Elvis also forgot to watch Art, after watching Ann's scene. Didn't Jack Nicholson also do the covered bit after being in flagrante delicto in the bed with Ann? Typical, typical, typical!

I never caught that thing with Coleman, but he was such a cool guy with such comedic talents, that I probably would have enjoyed it. I'll have to look for that movie, Sepia! As for football star, Bradshaw, was he wearing a rug AND merkin in the scene, or only his toupee?

I'm really surprised you mention that scene, Dargo since I thought maybe you'd seen some of the blue movies old Groucho did in the 1920's, before he went mainstream with his brothers. Minnie, I hear, was very upset and didn't want her progeny to be appearing in things with Lucille LeSieur that were racy, so Groucho's career as the Art Deco Harry Reems ended quickly. That scene with Ned Beatty was hard to watch, I gotta agree!

Hilarious! The bit about Andy Devine I mean. Wasn't there a similar shocking nude scene in something like "The Monster Walks" or whatever with George Zucco jumping out of a window?

I was going to read him the riot act, also, Christine but decided to be civil since he is. I will say that the one time I was so happy watching a movie, was during "Clockwork Orange" and they kept playing around with the bit of Malcolm MacDowell standing almost nude in front of the proverbial table with an obstruction covering you-know-what and moving it around, and then finally...Poof! It is gone and he is revealed, to the consternation of the majority of the male audience I was in. Like they'd never seen this kind of protuberance before in their life and were so shocked! It really did make me laugh...having seen about a million movies where the guy and girl are in bed, and she gets up totally nude to walk out of the room, and the guy pulls back the covers and is either wearing Jockey shorts or pulls the entire sheet around him as he exits the room. Hilarious! It's not that I really want to see any of these body parts particularly, I just want to enjoy seeing the male audience members freaking out! I'm a sick person..I know it.

Oh, yeah, she was sliding around in the shower or something. Didn't they pull the curtain on her or whatever? Well, now with Pause on your DVD player, you can revisit that scene, Nip!

I remember that! I own that film too, and love it. He was so great in "Dark Shadow" also. I can see how being friends with anyone who appeared in a nude scene could be disconcerting to watch again. That Delphine Seyrig was great in DOD, as the Bathory type character by the way.

Chicken!!!!

I think you are right, Eric. Julie Andrews nude, still seemed PG! I own LOB and forgot about Chapman being nude. I'll need to rewatch it. Thanks!

The first Mondo style movie I ever saw was..."Mondo Cane". I remember it was directed by that Jacopetti guy and had fascinating supposedly realistic scenes which encompassed a Rudolph Valentino lookalike contest in Italy, baby chicks being dyed pastel colors for Easter, the skinning of a snake for consumption, wild tribal rites in obscure spots all over the globe, and a whole other bunch of things. Now don't get me wrong, I was about fourteen but even I knew that this film was not really a documentary and was staged quite a bit, but the advertising campaign kept reiterating the veracity of the scenes in the movie. This film came out in 1963 and besides the graphic and sometimes outrageous hyperbole, was a trendsetter and also renowned for winning the the Oscar for best song of the year, with "More". What was to follow, was a plethora of similar films with titles like "Mondo Hollywood", "Mondo Magic" and some with even more sexual content like those of Russ Meyer with his "Mondo T_pl_ss". I'll let you figure that out but it was not about not owning tap shoes for your dance class. Later the odious "Faces of Death" series came out in the late seventies, comprised of scenes with poor little monkeys being queued up for hors d'oeuvres and people committing suicide on air, as I recall. This type of schockumentary has its moments so if you've seen some and have an opinion, good or bad, please share. I did enjoy the mondo style documentary with Jaynie, that's Jayne Mansfield in obviously "The Wild, Wild World of Jayne Mansfield" which I own. T'is true that most of these exploitation bonanzas should be filed in the crapola section but it is still an interesting genre to discuss, as to its antecedents and after effects.

Love "The Brood"! Glad to see another female who likes Cronenberg, Christine.

Excellent motto and words to live by, Eric!

Okay, you just read my mind because I was going to suggest "The Night Porter". Didn't it have Dirk Bogarde in it? I own it so should know this. Great movie. Well, concerning the "Ilsa" series, I'm sure I have just recently seen it in some film catalogues I've been getting from either TCM, Movies Unlimited, or a few other places. That's what reminded me about the series being still around. And yes, it is trashy...but in terms of exploitation oddities definitely a must see! Just checked...Movies Unlimited is selling "Ilsa: The Wicked Warden" and "Ilsa; Keeper of Oil Sheiks" from the late 70's in their online catalogue.

You're bad! If you can't have "Ilsa" films [which I also have been thinking about ordering lately since it is an interesting genre] would you settle for Shirley Stoler as the mean Nazi guard in Wertmuller's "Seven Beauties" with Giancarlo Gianini being tortured by her avoir du pois?

I can totally understand not liking "AHB". It is really a hard movie to watch. Thanks for your other fine choices!

OMG! I read about that "Ingagi" movie years ago in some strange movie book I had, and also have been salivating to see it to no avail also. I bet you loved Dietrich in her gorilla suit in "Blonde Venus" also. Sternberg sure knew how to showcase her in his films with amazing iconic images. I personally also have an addiction to jungle pictures and particularly ones with gorillas in them, of any quality. Thanks!
