That's what I'm saying. At what point are you selling too much? Is better box office really worth a scene you may regret later? Maybe to some, but to an extent I think it's a myth that nudity will make for better bank. Look at Domino. The nude scene did not help the film because it didn't do that well, but Pride and Prejudice did very well given its release scope and there was barely even kissing. I think that, at times, pressure is put on filmmakers to "show some skin" because they think it'll draw a crowd. This may be true for DVD, but I'm not sure it's true for the theatre. Then again, DVD may take over, so it may just be nothing but porn from here on.
