Laughed out loud at the following from IMDB. And this thread's title was the exact article title as well. The women in the audience gasped and got over-excited huh? I forwarded this to a female friend of mine who loves Farrell and she reminded me that he said just the opposite on "The Daily Show". I believe his exact words were he had the "Irish curse". Whatever that is. Anyway, here's the story:

Irish heart-throb Colin Farrell's first full frontal movie scene has been cut by worried film bosses - after test audiences were transfixed by the size of his manhood. The Phone Booth hunk disrobed for scenes in upcoming drama A Home at the End of the World, but after seeing the stunned reaction of viewers at a recent screening, chiefs decided to chop the naughty images. And the news has been greeted with fury by self-confessed Romeo Farrell, who has demanded the scenes must be included in the DVD release of the film. A source tells British newspaper the Sun, "All you could hear were gasps when Colin appeared in his full frontal pose. The women were over-excited and the men looked really uncomfortable. It was such a sight it made it difficult to concentrate on the plot, so the decision was made to get rid of it." Even director Michael Mayer admits, "It was distracting." In the film, Farrell plays a bisexual man caught in a love triangle.

Dang, I was hoping this would be about Will Farrell's huge manhood.

Daytrip

Irish Curse? so he likes to drink, what does that have to do with his manhood?

dick_grayson

That's weird! The same thing happened to me in high school during a school play!

And me as well during a church production.

It's Ferrell.

For some reason, male frontal nooditity is too distracting for the audience. When I saw Wild Things in the theater, the crowd I was with couldn't stop buzzing after Kevin Bacon's crooked wiener made its debut. And although I did not see 28 Days Later until the DVD, from what I read on this forum it was much of the same thing, the audience reacted loudly for several minutes afterward.

Daytripper

Only in America. Can you imagine if they saw "Betty Blue"?

Re: "Wild Things", if you blinked, you would have missed Bacon's sausage. Not only that, but wasn't he getting out of the shower and kind of far away? And wasn't the room was full of steam? Big deal. And who cares?

Day..you are correct on the Wild Things scene. I laughed at how pathetically tame and not so 'revealing' it actually was. I guess it just shows how sheltered we are in America when it comes to nudity,despite what the 'moral' police cries out over all the teasing in the media.

Maybe one day we will get over our puritantial fear of the human body? I mean,it is shocking to see how much more graphic violence has gotten in R rated films as 'acceptable',when a fleeting glimpse of nudity gets slammed with an NC-17 instantly.

I say..if you are going to show nudity in a film,then be realistic and show both persons nude..rather than showing off of one,then 'convieniantly' not showing any of the other.

LiquidSky

Pathetic. Many European films contain a healthy amount of full frontal male nudity. I saw the trailer for the film. Frankly, I think it's a case of the studio trying to sell the film as a mainstream film rather than the art film it obviously is.

Let's hope the DVD is presented in all it's "uncut" glory

Numanoid

I wonder who his fluffer was.

dick_grayson

That's the great thing about porn!

RyoHazuki

Example?

riley_dude

Well that's ashame. I wanted to see that.
Great book but because of the subject matter I am affraid they are going to start cutting stuff as not to offend the masses and this, I fear, is the beginning of this.

Dreamers that just came out a few months ago was slapped with an NC-17 because they showed a penis.

iggystar

I totally thought Wil Farrell when I checked out the subject!

Daytripper

Well, to be fair, this was no "glimpse". Nor was it "a" penis. They showed A LOT of male frontal nudity in "The Dreamers". And one scene in particular was right up in his business (literally), lasting more than a few seconds. For what it's worth, I thought the movie was terrible. It tried to be daring and provocative. And for me it was just gratuitous and boring.

RyoHazuki

Yeah I saw Dreamers and that was not what I'd call a glimpse. This was non-stop nudity for 2 hours. There were several scenes of male genitalia in the film.

28 Days Later

DonnachaOne

There's an american myth that Irish people are supposed to have small penises. I honestly don't know how that one got started.

Jealousy? I dunno.

Big Quasimodo

It's why we drink so much.....

funkyryno

Now I'm curious.


Pics?

Colin wants that footage included for one reason: advertising for the honeys.
