did you know he got his dick tattooed?


i don't know if anyone caught that, but kelsey grammer's character as a part of his back story apparently had his penis tattooed. they hinted at it once or twice. I thought it was a brilliant subtlety...kinda like the homosexual content in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

"Hinted"? It was very clearly discussed at length between the two admirals.


So much TV, so little time!

reply

yeah he had a tattoo of welcome aboard on his dick.

reply

It happened after his sub grazed alongside a sub that he was tracking. He got really drunk and ended up with a bad hangover and the tattoo.

reply

ha, I have seen this movie over and over again it's great. But I gotta say, having THAT tattooed is one crazy thing to do and having it say that...just f-in hilarious

reply

The OP definitely needs to cut back on the tokes, those brain calls don't grow back... That was a major issue in the movie for gods sake...

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man....

reply

You're right DavidStHubbins, brain CELLS don't grow back, as evidenced by your spelling and grammar skills. Don't call someone else stupid when you can hardly even spell the word "stupid".

reply

Yeah, it really wasn't subtle at all. In the start they talked about it in length. And there was Pascal who said it. Oh and the end of the movie.

reply

Subtle?!?!

Sure I guess the tattooed dick thing was subtle.

About as subtle as The titanic sinking.

If you thought that something that was pratically IN-YOUR-FACE (no pun intended) was subtle, I would hate to think of all the normal things you missed completely. Are you even awake when you watch movies?

WENDY?

To me the whole idea was based on Tom Dodge's reaction to the fact that somehow, practically everyone around him knew about the tattoo. His look of unbelief when Pascal talks about it is hilarious!

I just saw my response from almost 5 years ago. Time flies! This is still a great movie, though, and having just watched it this evening, I noticed that the only person who seems to actually *care* about the whole thing is Graham. The other Admirals seem more along the lines of "what is with this guy's obsession with Dodge's genitalia?"

Funny thing is that Kelsey did that for real too,to get closer to his character, a real old school method actor.

right... [/sarcasm]

I hear tatoos hurt and having one on your dick, Dam!

Movies 4 life.

reply

I don't think it's possible. It would only work on an erect penis, and I think the circumstances and the pain would prevent getting or maintaining an erection.
