Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Of course he liked it, there were naked boobies within the first 20 seconds.

Really, for many years that's all it took for me to consider a movie to be a classic.

He liked it. I was less impressed.

In the same vein, I happened to catch the unrated version of American Pie: Beta House on TV the other night. I'd say it was the first vaguely mainstream movie I've seen featuring full frontal nudity involving a fully weed-whacked crotch (or whatever it is the girls do to themselves these days). Didn't look like I was watching a naked woman. I almost had to run out to rent a copy of Porky's to reorient myself.

But if I was 14, I know my head would have exploded.
