kelliem: icy lakefront sunrise (tmi)

You know, I'm not a Colin Farrell fan (he just seems way too full of himself for my taste) but this article I read on the IMDB today made me laugh for the underlined reason:

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.

Does anyone else think it's amusing that seeing another guy's equipment makes your average guy THAT nervous?

Apparently it's not so much the existence as the, er, quantity. Interfering with delusions of adequacy, perhaps?

Besides, they can't get caught looking. 'Cause, you know. If you look, you're, you know. Questionable.

And we'll get to see this movie when??

Or, rather, we'll get to see the DVD? :)

Trying to imagine what would be obvious enough to be "transfixing" and yet not big enough to cause "Oh, uh, not so much because ow." Now I'm really curious. Maybe it's just really really pretty?

Nervous may not be the right word. It could be seeing another man vulnerable; men don't like that.

But then, considering Colin's apparent equipment, it could simply be feelings of inadequacy. :)

This tickled me so much I read it out loud to my boss at work last night.

But the headline is what really got me: "Farrel's 'Huge' Member Cut from Film." Um, IMDB? Perhaps references to the male anatomy should not immediately be followed by words meaning "sever," unless you *really* want to distress approximately 49% of the population...

And yet the straight guys watch straight porn where all the guys have humongous (and usually surgically altered) dicks. Could it be that they're uncomfortable that they find him attractive? *g*

Hmm


I wonder if there would have been a similar reaction if a female star had undressed and stunned everyone with the size of her boobs.

ROFL! Maybe they should have said it was 'circumcized' from the film. ;-D

I think that there's a different set of expectations for porn stars. People expect them to have humongous schlongs-- but the average movie hunk is supposed to be just that-- average.

Though I like your idea.

From: [identity profile] kelliem.livejournal.com


Yeah, 'cause that would probably be an 'extra.' ;-D

True, true. Though how does one account for the popularity of Ewan McGregor films, then? Is his audience all women and gay men?

Or maybe they're just assmuming that the women were over-excited.

*g* The straight boys aren't looking where he rest of us are.

Another thought: in a porn movie, there are other things to look at, so a straight guy can look at the screen without everyone thinking he must be looking at the men. :) Of course, he's looking at the hot chicks! Dude! No, I'm not looking at the dicks and the hard butts, nope, not me! :D

What a jerk he is. Of course he wants those scenes included, not because they serve the movie, but because he knows he has a big dick and wants everyone else to know it.

Perhaps the straight men in the audience were perturbed by the fact that Farrell plays a bisexual. Probably if he was just screwing some girl on screen, they'd just be checking out his technique.

Men are weaselly, spineless losers. Every fucking starlet working in Hollywood has huge fake tits, and we are forced to deal with it in stride, but one well-endowed guy shows up and suddenly the censorship starts.

Whatsamatta, guyts? Are you INSECURE ABOUT SEX? Do you have HANGUPS? What's so bad about some guy DISPLAYING HIS SEXUALITY?!

Let's seem, what other bullshit lines do they spew when women complain about the endless cavalcade of hemispherical, antigravity melons all over the fucking screen?

Men SUCK.

This amused me so very much!

There is actually a smuttier article about it found here.
