defrogITEM: Hollywood is getting over its fear of cock.
At least according to this article from The Daily Beast [via Newsweek, of all places], which offers as evidence the Minotaur from Your Highness, as well as a number of cable-only TV shows like Game Of Thrones, Spartacus: Blood And Sand and Gigolos.
Personally, I’m not really convinced. There’s always been cock in cinema – you just had to watch European movies, indie arthouse or Russ Meyer films to see it. And on the rare occasion it does happen in a mainstream Hollywood film, we get a handful of articles like this wondering if Hollywood is finally cured of its cockophobia – accompanied by a hundred thousand "OMG THERE'S COCK IN THIS MOVIE" articles (usually either to express moral outrage or as an excuse to make wiener jokes).
And the flood of cash-in films with full-frontal male nudity typically fails to ensue.
Granted, Your Highness is probably the first Hollywood film to show an actual erection. But it’s a Minotaur erection, so it arguably doesn’t even count.
Anyway, I’ll believe that full-frontal male nudity has gone mainstream when visible cock becomes standard in Hollywood love scenes. Or at least in those late-night straight-to-Cinemax films. Which probably won’t happen as long as people like this have political clout. Or as long as straight guys continue to be unable to look at another guy’s cock without feeling embarrassed, threatened, or inadequate.
Still, I’d like to think that more Hollywood production meetings would have discussions like: “Who the fuck would circumcise a Minotaur?”
Like so.
PRODUCTION NOTE: The above clip is probably NSFW. Depending on yr company's policy on Minotaur cock.
Whip it out,
This is dF
