That was unnecessary ... - Hall Pass (2011) Discussion

[–] shayba75 11 years ago

I felt that way too, until he asked the other guy to trade him places. His response of "why" seemed unnecessary until they showed his package ( or lack there of )

This was most obviously cgi

If not, could you imagine the casting call for that part??

[–] angloo 11 years ago

Nothing obvious about it. Until you brought it up I thought it was the guy's real penis.
And you know what? For a chance to be in a fun movie, you underestimate how many of us would kill for the opportunity, even if it was to show off our "shortcomings" or flaws. (How many fat women have been cast because of their weight? Or ugly women? Or short guys? Bald guys? etc etc?)

As always, CNDB is your friend. The black man (Thaddeus Rahming) is in real life an exotic dancer and no doubt had no problems showing off his manhood. As for redhead Rich Brown, it is not clear to me (based on what little research I did) whether he was CGI'd or not.

And as a flaming heterosexual, I don't want another guy's penis near my face, large or small. Size is definitely NOT the issue! :)

penises in movies are rare anyway,unless its porn, so i thought it was pretty cool to have a movie with actors willing to show their penises. society is so hypocritical about this kind of thing. show a pair of breasts and its ok, but show a penis and almost everyone gets bent out of shape about it. it doesnt make you gay if you see another man's penis. i say give the women a bit of excitement. let them have some fun while watching a movie.

[–] Vashramana 11 years ago

You can't compare breasts to penises. If you want to compare genitalia then you would have to compare penises to vaginas. How many vaginas have you seen on screen other than porn?

[–] angloo 11 years ago

Plenty, though not nearly enough. A brief list, in order that I saw the movie:
Charlotte Rampling (Swimming Pool)
Leslie Hope (Paris, France)
Maria Bello (The Cooler)
Jacinda Barrett (Human Stain)
Eva Green (The Dreamers)
Kari Wuhrer (Boulevard)
Emily Hampshire (Blood)
Blanchard Ryan (Open Water)
Heather Graham (Boogie Nights)
Marianna Hill (Medium Cool)
Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient)
Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas)
Maggie Gyllenhaal (Secretary & Strip Search)
Alexis Dziena (Broken Flowers)
Michelle Borth & Ally Walker (Tell Me You Love Me)

are just a few.

And I agree that male nudity on film is usually more comical (because penises are, let's face it, kinda ugly and stupid-looking things) whereas female nudity is more sexual and beautiful to look at.

But that was my point. Both penises were not really necessary for the film other than for comic effect, just as many naked bushes or boobs are put in for other effects (for which, I will admit, I am eternally grateful).

[–] Vashramana 11 years ago

Most of what you listed were not vaginas, but rather full frontal crotch shots. You don't see the labia or clitoris for the most part. I haven't seen all of those movies you have listed so I can't speak for all of them.

Very well said. True. But if so, without the actress shaving her pubes almost to the point of baldness, what shot could a director get that WOULD show the "proper" parts of the vagina? I agree with your point in principle but I am not sure how we would arrive at a true vagina shot?
I ask this in all seriousness. I rate nude scenes a la Mr. Skin ( a brilliant idea I wish I'd thought of) and now I may have to revise my system.

How about in EXACTLY the same way penises were shown in this film? You can have a woman squatting on her knees, legs open, just like the larger guy was shown in this film and that would be the same thing. Of course people will say dumb things like "that would make it porn" (but showing men in this manner seems ok) or "penises are funny looking" (as if vaginas are not funny looking themselves) or how about "boobs are shown in films all the time" (as if boobs are now genitals). Also, what is wrong about women shaving bald - the larger guy that was shown had no pubes at all.

Though I had read that a couple people who worked on the movie set say both men were CGI, so neither displayed the real thing. You can still very easily CGI a vagina on a woman squatting on her knees, legs open, with no hair like with the one guy in this film, but Hollyweird is too chicken to push the envelope in that direction.

Rosario Dawson showed her completely shaved vag in the movie "Trance" that's now in theaters and yes you do see labia so that would count as a true vag shot, but of course Hollyweird was too chicken to release it as a wide release/mainstream film, so it is a limited release film shown in few theaters only. Always seems to happen when vaginas are shown, but not with penises.

reply

[–] angloo 11 years ago

I don't think that makes it equal. A guy can show his penis without getting into any strange or unusual physical position, whereas from your POV a woman cannot. And by the way, I AM ALL FOR shaved pubes to show proper pussy; I just find that most actresses do not bother doing so.
If I find out that a scene has been faked (CGI/digital enhancement) it takes AWAY from my enjoyment (and then of course becomes a "not officially nude" scene) so I hope that they DON'T go in that direction.
And I may watch Trance JUST FOR Rosario Dawson. Thank you!

reply

[–] TheGame81 11 years ago

You don't think the guy shown nude was shown in a "strange or unusual physical position"? He was on his knees, legs spread open, camera was closeup for a really long time. Sounds strange and unusual to me. What I'm saying is you could very easily show a woman in that position and it would be equal. So let's say Owen Wilson's character was rescued by two women whose vaginas are shown up close, with one where Owen's head is right next to shown for a long time, up close. You're telling me that won't be considered equal? Are people really that afraid of vaginas?

Also, I don't think it's actresses fault for not showing shaved pubes, as I think it's more women's fault. When an actress is shown topless, I never hear complaints from women, but if an actress goes full frontal, women go ballistic, especially if the woman is shaved down below. Hollywood, being afraid of this, caves into pressure and decides not to offend female sensibilities, thus decides to show actresses topless only. It's ironic that there are actresses who go full frontal (including shaved pubes) when they pose for Playboy, but not in movies, so I doubt it's always the actresses who are deciding that (it's more of a Hollywood problem).

And yes, Rosario Dawson's shaved vag was a nice treat to see in Trance. Too bad Hollyweird didn't want to touch this film with a 10 foot pole, so people have to drive for miles to find a theater that is playing this film since it's a limited release, no doubt because of the vag exposure.

reply

[–] angloo 11 years ago

OK, it's been a couple of months (and probably 45 movies) since I saw this scene, so I can't remember although I do remember the actors vaguely squatting (although that, in and of itself, is not an unusual position). I guess my point was that to see a penis, a man can be standing perfectly still, bending, squatting, lying down, sitting, etc etc etc, whereas to see a woman's vagina "clearly" the way you put it, with proper labia showing and such, she cannot "just" be standing or sitting normally unless she is shaved. And then again only at certain angles.

I hope the trend is for more full frontal, and from what I hear of such shows as Boardwalk Empire and Mildred Pierce, it does appear that certain shows are having the courage to show more, occasionally all, and hopefully more realistic depictions of sex and nudity (one of the best movies of this genre being 9 Songs) without having to "turn into porn".

Did I get what you tried to say, or am I still misunderstanding you, sir?

reply

[–] TheGame81 11 years ago

What I'm saying is if you swapped out the men in this film with women squatting in exactly the same way, same position, you would be able to see the entire vagina, labia and all. I've seen women get into squatting positions getting ready for example for a Playboy photoshoot and not only do you see the vag, but you can also see it slightly open up when a woman squats.

To make a long story short, the entire female anatomy would be visible if they showed it in exactly the same way the male anatomy was shown in this film, in which the guy had no pubic hair at all.

They are not! I'm assaulted by their presence in movies far too often and what makes it even more obviously a feminist/PC thing, is that in alot of these movies you won't see a bit of female nudity.

society is so hypocritical about this kind of thing. show a pair of breasts and its ok, but show a penis and almost everyone gets bent out of shape about it. it doesnt make you gay if you see another man's penis.

It's not about making me gay, it repulses me. Breasts aren't equal to penises, vaginas are and we never see those. Bush is not a vagina, either. Women see men's chests in movies all the time, which is equal to breasts.

Your post tells me that you actually enjoy seeing penises. Let's just hope you're a woman.

[–] theblackestmagic 11 years ago

It probably wouldn't have been PC, for lack of a better term, for the film to have shown a white guy with a large penis next to a black guy who wasn't very big. Could you imagine the uproar you'd hear, especially from black people, if they would have show this scenario instead? They would accuse the 'racist' movie industry of trying to show the white guy in a gloriously positive light while attempting to belittle the black man, so a scenario like this simply wouldn't have gone over very well at all. So therefore it was quite understandable as to why the filmmakers decided to show it the way that they did in the movie.

reply

[–] bobapplwizard 11 years ago

I agree except that the whole scene was unnecessary and serves no purpose other than to be provocative. The context is absurd. They could have been wearing a towel or gym clothes or a bathing suit. Or they could have been two blacks or two whites, right?

It's part of a not-so-subtle movement to bring the white male down and elevate all other segments in our society. Virtually all commercials, for example, where there are male and female actors, the male is almost always shown to be stupid. There is also a preponderance of commercials featuring black males always in superior positions, never being shown to be incompetent. The quantity of representation is disproportionate to the black male population and black females are noticeably absent. There are efforts in many quarters to mix black males with white females. California's porn industry has many white producers making films of black on blondes, because it sells, of course. While Tiger Williams and Lindsay Vonn are shown on national; magazine covers, Serena Williams and her white boyfriend remain almost anonymous. Curious?

reply

[–] theblackestmagic 11 years ago

I agree that the scene was probably unnecessary and just shown to be provocative, though also careful to not be too non-PC(large white penis, small black penis). I also notice that The Farrlley brothers seem to have almost a kind of fetish with black men judging from some of their films.

I don't know if I agree that there's a 'movement' to bring the white male down however. I think we must not get into some false belief that white males somehow have it the worst in this country, which of course they certainly do not. But I do understand your point of view about how many people go out of their way not to offend and also to romanticize minorities quite a lot in both TV and film. But this is simply a result of the ultra PC-era and times that we live in and should therefore be expected. I realize that it can be pretty frustrating for many, but it's not really something to get up in arms about. At least not yet.

reply

[–] bobapplwizard 11 years ago

Unfortunately these film makers' (loosely) films have a too wide an audience as our society becomes more illiterate and crude. I am pleased that you recognize my opinion and I agree/respect your thoughtful comments. I don't believe for a second that white males have it rough (though the most recent stats on college attendance and graduation are deteriorating for all males, including whites which is a symptom of a failing civilization).

You've obviously noticed that in many films, recent and 1940's + where blacks are portrayed as having more compassion, greater common sense (though frequently expressed in a overly simplistic and unrealistic fashion)and possess a superior sense of right and wrong. Same can be said of Native Americans as they understand the relationship between the environment and humanity better than whites do. When will the film industry stop reminding us of past inequities?

How many Nazi movies were made? Hundreds? How many films about Muslim terrorists have been made? Hollywood won't touch Islam out of abject fear.

I am weary of virtually all media where a George Zimmerman becomes a "white" Hispanic and he remains on trial to appease blacks and progressives. Each day blacks perpetrate horrendous crimes against whites and we don't hear a peep. Efforts are made to hide the race of minority-committed crime. How absurd is it to describe the clothing, height and weight of an alleged criminal without describing ethnicity? This is like screening old white people in airports while letting Arabic-looking men pass through. As you say it's PC but I do not accept it.

reply

[–] theblackestmagic 11 years ago

Point taken. It's interesting that you mentioned Zimmerman as I have discussed the issue regarding his race as well. It seems the media have gone out of their way to try and label him as being a white Hispanic and in some cases as just solely white. Zimmerman is in fact a mestizo, as his mother is a Peruvian of indigenous ancestry. It's also been stated that Zimmerman has Afro-Peruvian ancestry as well through his maternal great-grandfather. So the constant references by the media and regular folks as this being a case of a white man shooting an innocent unarmed black teenager is quite baffling to me. But the media still continues to describe him as 'white' simply because it fits into this country's simplistic view of race as ALWAYS being about black and white. The fact is that there are other ethnic and racial groups who also harbor prejudice towards blacks, such as Mexicans, Asians, Middle Easterners etc. But people in this country still continually choose to portray whites as being the ONLY group with racist views towards blacks and as the ONLY group who commit acts of racial violence against them. It's complete and utter BS.

And I don't care either for films that portray blacks, or any other minorities, as being somehow morally superior to whites simply due to their past history of racial oppression. I think it's possible for films to show that blacks and other minorities have suffered, and continue to suffer, from racial prejudice without making them into these saints who can do absolutely no wrong. But to continually romanticize minorities, whether in movies or in real life, as these morally superior beings solely as a result of the injustices they have suffered is incredibly superficial and extremely condescending IMO.

Your opinion is rife with common sense, keen observation and analysis, as stated by one who shares your views.

Favorite genre? Director? Actors? Any movies you watch repeatedly?

reply

[–] theblackestmagic 11 years ago

Thank you and I certainly appreciate the very flattering remarks.

As far as my favorite films, wow, where to begin? I've always loved the movies ever since I was a kid. I try to mostly be open to all sorts of film genres and subjects, even when they're not always my particular cup of tea. I've always loved and had a special fondness for the horror genre(please don't judge me too harshly). However I've always preferred horror films which emphasize mood and atmosphere over cheap gore and shocks, like the particular subset of horror known as 'torture porn' which I simply detest. I have nothing at all against seeing violence or gore in horror films mind you, but not at the expense of the actual storyline or the characters. In other words, I don't like gore solely for the sake of gore. I enjoy a lot of old school horror films from the 1930s all the way up to the 80s. I really don't find many of the horror films of today to be particularly interesting or enjoyable to be honest.

As far as my favorite film directors, I would probably list Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Mario Bava(an old school Italian horror director) as being my top 3. But I also enjoy and highly respect the works of so many other filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Federico Fellini, Roman Polanski, Luis Bunuel, Coen Brothers, Brian DePalma, John Carpenter and Sergio Leone.

As for actors, I love past actors like the great Peter Lorre, Peter Sellers and Cary Grant. I also love Grace Kelly and think she was one of the most beautiful and stunning women in all of filmdom.

Movies I tend to watch a lot are 'Arsenic and Old Lace'(with Grant and Lorre), 'Dr. Strangelove', 'Throne of Blood', 'Psycho', 'Rear Window', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'Airplane!', 'Casino' and 'Mulholland Drive'. And those last two would definitely be films from the past 10-20 years that I'd pick to be in the top 100.

I hope I was able to answer some of your questions regarding my own personal list(s). I'm sure there are many more films, directors and actors that I would list but can't quite think of at the moment(it's late).

Anyway I'd certainly be very interested in reading your own personal list of films, directors and actors as well, if it's not of any inconvenience to you of course.

reply

[–] bobapplwizard 11 years ago

I enjoy French, Hispanic, Oriental, Scandinavian, film noire (Laura, The Big Sleep, Maltese Falcon), action (French Connection, Bullitt), suspense/thriller/spy (Vertigo, Dark Passage, Usual Suspects, Boys From Brazil, Marathon Man, The Third Man)and high quality drama (Ordinary People, 12 Angry Men). Like Frankenheimer, Pollack, Bergman, Kubrick, Ida Lupino, and everything Spielberg. (Duel, ET, Close Encounters, Schindler's List, etc.) Like Redford as a director, not much of an actor as he was really just a pretty boy and I despise his politics and environmental hypocrisy.

Yes, Peter Lorre was very cool "Reeek, Reeek, help me Reeek (Casablanca). Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck, Steve McQueen, Dana Andrews, Gene Hackman, Brian Dennehy, Paul Newman, Ron Silver, DeNiro [Mr. Versatility],Grant was great. Particularly love British actors, Olivier, Caine, Burton, Gielgud, James Mason, Peter Sellers (Being There). Morgan Freeman, Sean Penn (serious love/hate with these guys). Laraine Day, Cicely Tyson, Theresa Wright, Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Mary Steenburgen, Meryl Streep. Not a big Hepburn fan though she was one of the best ever. Ingrid Bergman, Liz Taylor and Sophia Loren were the beauties with the talent.

What state r u from?

reply

[–] theblackestmagic 11 years ago

The Sunshine State of Florida.

I forgot to list Michael Caine as well. I've really enjoyed many of his performances. I'm also particularly fond of British humor and I can't believe I forgot to mention another one of my favorite films, the classic black comedy 'The Ladykillers' from 1955, starring the great Sir Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers in one of his very first roles. The film also features a certain character actor who I've always been quite fond of, Herbert Lom, who later co-starred with Sellers in another great comedy, 1964's 'A Shot in the Dark'.

Although I've never been that big a fan of Spielberg, I have to admit that 'Schindler's List' is a remarkably powerful and haunting film. To me the scene of the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto was such a terribly effective and disturbing sequence. So my hats off to Spielberg for making such a masterful and, no doubt for him, intensely personal piece of cinema. And of course the opening battle scene in 'Saving Private Ryan' is unquestionably one of the most stunning and terrifying war sequences ever committed to celluloid. And I'm still unable to watch 'ET' again to this day because I get a little too emotional and teary eyed over it. I guess it's still the little kid in me.

I enjoyed 'Vertigo' as well, although I've always had a problem with Jimmy Stewart as a leading man, especially as a romantic one. He just seemed more like somebody's grandfather and simply didn't come across well or believable as a romantic lead IMO. To me he would have been much better as a top notch character actor in films. That being said, I did think he was excellent as the lead in Hitchcock's 'Rope'. And as for his co-star in 'Vertigo', I thought that Kim Novak was also one of the great screen beauties of her time, even though she never really got the opportunity, with the obvious exception of 'Vertigo', to actually showcase her acting talents throughout her career.

I absolutely 100% agree with this. I thought I was the only one who noticed this. It is ridiculous. I see so many commercials these days where they are comparing two people - one in a negative light and one in a positive light (for example a commercial like: Two people have car insurance, but one of them has a no-name insurance company that won't be able to help you at all, can you guess who?) and whenever it is a black person and a white person I already know before seeing the ending of the commercial that the white person will be the "dimwit" that picked the bad insurance. This is a 100% given. I'm so sick and tired of the media doing this.

Any time any commercial shows someone being the dumb one it is always a white person (when there is a mixed race of people in the commercial) or a man (when it is man and woman in the commercial). I'm so sick and tired of this stereotype as well that "all black men have large penises". It is simply not true at all. But since every perpetuates the stereotype you have misinformed people who actually believe it and keep spreading it. And movies that show scenes like this don't help at all. Forget the fact that the largest penis in porn was John Holmes (a white man) and the largest known penis right now is some guy Jonah Falcon (white man). Porn has this whole thing "BBC" (big black c*ck) like it is some fetish. And all they go out and find are black guys with big penises. So if anyone watches porn with a black man all they see is someone with a big penis and once again it keeps the stereotype going.

But you really could've saved yourself a ton of keystrokes by simply saying that you resent and dislike black people, especially black males, who make you feel inferior because we have bigger dicks than you. Penis envy is not a good look on ANY man, black or white. Learn to accept and love what you have and you won't have a need to sweat yourself about what's in a black man's jeans.

But don't lament the loss of your power to black Americans. You should lament the loss of your power to brown Americans. Hispanics are now out-breeding blacks in this country, in case you hadn't heard. So, my advice to you is to learn to speak Spanish ASAFP.

Wow, where to begin! If you think mine is the biggest pile....that you've read than you need to expand your horizons. Start with National Review and the Washington Times where you will get an opposing point of view from what you're accustomed. You're a relatively articulate guy and for the most part I like your taste in movies but you have left a lot of red meat out for this "little white guy" to chew on. One thing I noticed is how you ignored most of my declarative statements like "black women and Hispanics are totally left out" and "# of black spokespersons". You are projecting onto me things you believe without knowing anything about me. Why do you assume I'm little, dick wise and overall size-wise? Why do you assume I believe I am losing my power? Why do you believe I feel inferior to black men, in particular? Actually I feel superior to almost all black men because I don't need to sell drugs, pimp white women, loot convenience stores in order to make ends meet. Since you are such a racist I'll also tell you I have never been on any public assistance, never had STDs, only fathered children I could afford and I never cheated on my wife. I didn't need any admission tests be made any easier for me to pass. Let's go in another direction.....BTW, you are so smart; I thank you for pointing out BO won twice. So did Reagan, Eisenhower, Bush and Nixon. How did you feel about them? Next, tell the world that you believe there is no connection between a black man in the white house and the number of black males in the media. No connection? Really? BO will go down as one of the worst presidents in modern times, rivaling the peanut farmer from GA. Not because he's black but because he's bad. I would have readily voted for Herman Cain, Tim Scott, JC Watts, Walter Williams, Sr and JR and many other fine black men because of their values and abilities, their skin color notwithstanding. Just like I would vote for Condoleeze Rice and not Michelle Obama. I would vote for Ben Carson should he win the nomination. And finally, it was tasteless, NOT NECESSARY and several other things to feature ANY dicks in full display. The moviemakers deliberately sought out a smallish dicked white man and a large dicked black guy side by side for comparison. Assuming over half the audience for a piece of *beep* movie like this is male, how many guys are interested in seeing other dicks? I'll pass thank you, black, white, hermaphrodite, etc. The only dick I ever want to see is one that is buried in a really good looking woman. The most important size in my world, senor, is the size of my house, my bank account and the size of my brain which allows me to get the other big things in life. So you keep going around thinking all white guys have small dicks and all black guys are big and that is all that matters to white women so you will sleep peaceably. Just like you can stand up for all things black I can stand up and object to an obvious insult to white men. And stop thinking you understand white people and that we are all the same. Racist!

The most unnecessary scene in the movie was the "shart" in the shower.

As far as showing a man's dick goes, the rule is that it's OK to display the penis in an R rated movie so long as the thing isn't hard. If the director shows an erect cock, then the film gets an X (or whatever it's called these days).

The same goes for the lady parts. If the movie shows the lips or (God forbid) the inside of the vag, then the film gets an X. The stuff above the lips or the pubic hair is OK for an R.

And of course intercourse must be handled very carefully for an R. If the movie shows the actual sliding of the man parts in and out of the actress, then the movie gets an X. (Don't even get me started on Chloe Sevigny, fellatio and the Brown Bunny.)
