I quite appreciate that anyone reading this entry has a mind as pure as the driven slush -- quite like my own, in fact -- and will be moved by this article purely on the grounds of gender equality and the fact that I doubt they'd have cut any frontal female shots.

Farrell's 'Huge' Manhood Cut from Film

June 23 2004 11:12:44
Irish heart-throb Colin Farrell's first full frontal movie scene has been cut by worried film bosses - after test audiences were transfixed by the size of his manhood. The Phone Booth hunk disrobed for scenes in upcoming drama A Home at the End of the World, but after seeing the stunned reaction of viewers at a recent screening, chiefs decided to chop the naughty images. And the news has been greeted with fury by self-confessed Romeo Farrell, who has demanded the scenes must be included in the DVD release of the film. A source tells British newspaper the Sun, "All you could hear were gasps when Colin appeared in his full frontal pose. The women were over-excited and the men looked really uncomfortable. It was such a sight it made it difficult to concentrate on the plot, so the decision was made to get rid of it." Even director Michael Mayer admits, "It was distracting." In the film, Farrell plays a bisexual man caught in a love triangle.

How different from the version I read in Entertainment Weekly's daily e-mail. They stated the scene was cut because test audiences were cheering the full frontal, detracting from what was meant to be an "emotional" scene.

My comment to [livejournal.com profile] malkin at the time was that no wonder they cheered, rare as full frontal is. Afterall, it's not like Julian Sands, Ewan McGregor and Harvey Keitel can be in every movie that calls for such a scene. (should we be grateful for that last?)
