Eh.

Still love Keitel.

I’ve watched some of the worst/weirdest movies just because he was in them.

Hardcore conservative and one of the *very few* with a concealed carry permit in NYC.

[Not that he needs it]

Semper Fi, Harvey!

Not as good looking as the goddess that OD’d after Sydney Pollack’s character shagged her. Can’t post THAT pic here.

Not really a gang rape. She only had a scene with one guy like a dream sequence. Kubrick had a real problem directing Kidman and Cruise in the scene where they were in front of a mirror. I think that’s when Kubrick realized Tom was... uh... yeah... because he had to TELL Tom how to be sexy and put the moves on his own wife !

I think Keitel, like Kate Winslet, had a nudity clause written into their contracts. If he didn’t get to show his tallywhacker and she didn’t get to show her breasts and furry triangle, they don’t do the film. =8-0

It’s been so long since I’ve seen “Barry Lyndon.” Not a bad movie, but not for all tastes. Very interestingly shot with existing light (very realistic candlelight, give you an idea of how dark it really was indoors, not the ridiculous spotlights of H’wood). Hard to believe today, but Ryan O’Neal was a huge star in those days. As for EWS, the nudity was the only saving grace, but covered up by those ridiculous CGI figures in the mansion/orgy scene. The big problem with the film is that, despite its NYC setting, it was clear it had a near-total European feel to it, not to mention it clearly didn’t seem modern, either. I think they’d have been better off setting it a century earlier in, say, Vienna. Tom Cruise was the really weak point, and they needed someone else in the role (maybe someone like Clive Owen, my choice for JB, who has the range).

I always thought the film was ripe for spoofing. I remember when Cruise asked Pollack who attended those orgies, and Pollack inferred they were powerful figures, saying he wouldn’t sleep well at night knowing who they were. Just imagine behind the masks being the Clintons, Janet Reno, Chris Dodd, Charlie Rangel, Eliot Spitzer, et al. =8-0

I watched Keitel in his recent effort, “Life On Mars”, but damn did the lead in that show needed to be seriously bitch-slapped. What an appalling little PC weenie. That guy would’ve lasted 5 seconds in the real NYPD before a perp would’ve beaten him to death with his shoe.

You say Keitel’s “nudity clause” like it’s a *bad* thing....:)

[the old man is *still* buff]

If you think he’s swinging it every chance he gets *now*, you haven’t seen the old ‘67 B/W flick “Who’s That Knocking At My Door”.
[it sure wasn’t his tailor]

It’s a wonder he didn’t catch pneumonia.

“furry triangle”

LMAO!
I’m gonna be giggling over that phrase all night.
“Bermuda” somehow got in the mix inside my head and it struck me as hysterical ....:))

“Holy Smoke”

Worst.
Role.
Ever.

WTH is ~Harvey~ doing sobbing, ‘emotionally broken’ [and naked, naturally, even though this time, it may have been a visual metaphor integrated with the nudity clause] in the back of a pickup truck over some “unrequited love” crap?

Hey, I’m a dude. I think Keitel’s a great actor, but I don’t want to see his junk in all his movies (I’m surprised they didn’t find a way to give him a nude scene in “Pulp Fiction”). Now, Kate, I didn’t much mind seeing her full monty (although I hear she’s given that up recently). I certainly can appreciate young women who decide not to make themselves look like 6-year old girls in the fun zone. Bald just ain’t beautiful.

LOL!

If it helps, seeing Kate’s Bermuda doesn’t do a thing for me....:)

[I’m a bit disturbed over the apparent ‘bald turn on’ craze myself. It borders on creepy]

“Holy Smoke”

Yeah, that was a weird movie (and we got our favorite two, Keitel and Winslet, nekkid together). Well, at least we didn’t see Winslet weiner snarfing like Chloë Sevigny on Vincent Gallo in “The Brown Bunny.” It was interesting to see a movie about “deprogramming.” I was a kid in the ‘70s, but I remember that was a big issue then with kids running off to wacky cults and parents having to get them brought back to reality. Something they were obviously trying to cover here. Winslet, of course, turned the tables on Keitel.

I think probably the most disturbing scene with a high ick factor was when Kate was outside in all her nekkid glory (well, starts off good) and then she pees while facing the camera. Call me a prude, but when hot women start doing bodily functions on camera, that ain’t sexy (yes, I know she wasn’t really doing that, although she did a take of her doing it, which Jane Campion didn’t use, but it was effective enough to make me recoil).

You are the king of kinky euphemisms, I’ll give ya that.

Yeah, it is creepy. I’ve heard all the arguments and debates and nuttin’ has convinced me to stop worrying about the deforestation and embrace the Brazilian. Plus, it’s almost impossible to pull off a bald look effectively. In those mag pictures and the like, they can airbrush out the usual flaws of the Barbie crotch look, the Dick Nixonesque heavy stubble, the nasty follicle bumps, the razor burns (and whatever else). It just ain’t purty (and on a related topic, don’t get me started on Hugh Hefner’s fetish, and that of late night tv of the last decade or so, to feature nothing but bleach-blonde oompa loompas with crabcakes or basketballs for boobs).

I was trained on alt.fan.jamesbond on how to engage in euphemisms without them being too overtly vulgar.

Two of my favorites from “Diamonds Are Forever”:

Plenty O’Toole: Hi, I’m Plenty.
James Bond: But of course you are.
Plenty O’Toole: Plenty O’Toole.
James Bond: Named after your father perhaps?

or:

James Bond: Weren’t you a blonde when I came in?
Tiffany Case: Could be.
James Bond: I tend to notice little things like that - whether a girl is a blonde or a brunette.
Tiffany Case: Which do you prefer?
James Bond: Well, as long as the collar and cuffs match...

(Of course, as per the above discussion, with women going without cuffs, you can’t tell if their haircolor is legit).

If you go to a Dem rally, you could check their ‘pits...:)

To be fair though, redheads can have red collars and blond or brownish-blond cuffs.

[and nearly transparent arm hair]

Weird stuff happens.
