The trivia says his parents are from Sicily so it wouldn't make since for him to be circumcised...

I thought erect penises look like circumcised penises when they're erect? Do Sicilians object to circumcision?

These are some movies of mine. Enjoy!

Not mine. Actually most of them do, it's sort of rare in Italy.

I had to read this because it sounded like the title to an erotic board game.

Now that there is some durn funny off-the-cuff good stuff, SkaterDave.

My brief comment on the movie, and scene in particular, is that Vincent Gallo is a man with style, wit, irony, and earnestness and hell of a New York artist...Hell, an artist, period...(Harumph). And if all the buttoned up Conservative Americans and "ehhhhhewwww gosh" easily titillated; then, upon marinating in the thought for 20 minutes, condemning the previously titillation as "over-the-top", "abhorrent", or, my personal favorite, "self-indulgent"...Well, i went off on a tangent didn't I, pard? Guess this ain't a-gonna be as brief as i thought (and thank bejeezus good ole' Vincent had the same thought, eh?) Well, if America let it's jodhpurs down a little, didn't cringe at every PC-aberrant object or movie or drawing or picture, or... Well, you get the idea... Mr. Gallo would be making more money and more movies (ads he wouldn't bitch or even care if this seemed "mainstream", the dude just digs money, see?...and we WOULD BE THE BETTER FOR IT.

An older guy I worked with over 20 years ago was going to have a vasectomy as part of his prostate cancer treatment and he stated he was also going to get circumcised when he had the other procedure done, which was even stranger because he was in his mid or late 60s.

It prompted another conversation with another guy we worked with at the time but his father was from Sicily and had come over to the US after being hurt in WW I, he told me his father didn't have him circumcised because his father didn't have the extra money, but he stated his younger brothers and his his son had been circumcised.

I do know that depending on the hospital they didn't always ask the parents. I didn't really give it that much thought when I saw the movie, I was more surprised that Ms. Sevigny appeared to actually put it in her mouth, I just figured she'd fake it.

There was no faking it, that was a full on porn shot of her giving a blow job including swallowing the happy ending.

Currently I use it for a bookmark, but I'm thinking of selling it on E-Bay.

It depends on the region. In California, doctors will only do that if a parent signs up for it. However, I am sure in a state like Kansas--or somewhere else in the Midwest--the nurse is more likely to just take the baby and tell the mom, "We will go get him trimmed down now." Then the mom has a three second window to say, "Hold on."
