I could have sworn we had a thread about this…

We are talking about this in the Domino thread and I thought I’d post here in an effort to not derail that thread. Go there first if you want to see some of the conversation: Domino

What are your thoughts on nude scenes? It is my feeling that nude scenes (for the most part) are completely unnecessary and end up being content for internet celebrity skin sites. I think filmmakers should take this into consideration when deciding to have a nude scene in their film. Too many people have told me that they were going to see a film because so and so was nude in it. That’s a shame if you ask me.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I think there are films that need nudity for the story or atmosphere, but most of the films where you see a glimpse of breast or a 3 or 4 second shot of a penis are completely unneeded.

There are a lot of angles to look at. Some might do a nude scene for the sake of art, others for controversy and publicity. It’s impossible to tell why they did or did not do it, but I thought it was worth discussing.
