Comment:

i think the initial comment is misguided. i believe there are is far, far more male nudity in mainstream movies, i.e, not porn, etc.  practically every major male star has done it at one time or another, from Mel Gibson in 'Lethal Weapon', Kevin Costner in 'Dances with Wolves' and right up to Brad Pitt in 'Troy'.  This has been consistent from the late 80's throughout the 90's and now up to the'noughties'.  There was even a successful film dedicated to the topic of male nudity, i.e 'the full monty'. men are less inhibited than women and the male nude scene is accepted in  far more contexts than female nudity. Many female stars have no nudity clauses but i haven't heard of any male stars protesting in the same fashion.  i think men have far more to complain about if they feel aggrieved about gratuitous nudity in movies but they just tend to get on with it rather than whinge.  a valid point made by the katie holmes complainer but she should really take those blinkers off first and get her facts right before she commits herself.
