Gaspar Noe To Make "Joyful Porn Movie"

Michael Winterbottom, John Cameron Mitchell, Vincent Gallo, Peter Greenaway—add Gaspar Noe to the list of mainstream directors looking to make movies featuring explicit sex. Should we let him know it's not shocking anymore? More »

"The Auteur"

Porn director Arturo Domingo sits in a motel room watching critics on television discuss and eviscerate his latest picture. His sadness is palpable. But Fleshbot readers know that in porn, bad publicity is an oxymoron. More »

Even Bad Movies Can Have Good Sex

It's a sad fact of life that the quality of a movie's sex scenes bears no actual relation to the quality of the movie itself. In fact, as anyone who has ever subscribed to Cinemax can tell you, some of the best sex scenes can only be found with very generous use of the fast forward button. This post from Nerve is a mini-salute to boring, slow, overwrought and downright awful movies that also include footage of two hot people getting on. Or failing that, Ben Affleck. Enjoy one of the only highlights of that Oliver Stone classic "The Doors" below. (Audio warning; video starts automatically.) More »

Hulu Video Finds Its Niche: Free Boobies For Everyone!

Do you Hulu? Well, unless you're a fan of old "The A-Team" reruns, you probably don't spend a lot of time on NBC Universal's copyrighted video service. You're probably also not a 13-year-old boy, which it turns out is a big chunk of their audience. Why do you suppose that is? Well, take a quick look at the top 20 videos on the site this month and you'll start to understand more about Hulu and it's users. Almost every clip involves nudity, a sex scene, or gratuitous boobies. Sometimes all three! (Which is not necessarily porn, by the way, even if that does make a good sensational headline.) More »

Watching good sex in a movie is good, but watching bad sex in a movie can be really, really bad. Perversely, however, watching The 50 Worst Sex Scenes in Cinema as chosen by the experts at IFC.com and Nerve can be pretty good too ... unless you try to watch them all at the same time, in which case you'll probably just get a headache.

OMGG Angelina Jolie is like totally naked in this movie trailer!!!1! Except all you can see is her back. Someone wake us up if it turns out she goes full frontal when the movie comes out, k? (usmagazine.com)

Who Will Survive "MILF Island"?

Last night, America was glued to its televisions for the season finale of everybody's favorite reality survival show, "MILF Island". (OK, so you actually had to watch the return of "30 Rock" to find out what happens when you put 20 hot mommies and 50 eighth-grade boys on a deserted island with no rules. but it was still exciting.) Who will survive the gauntlet at Erection Cove? And who will be forced to hang up her bikini top while someone else is crowned queen of all the moms that young men want to ... you know? You'll just have to tune in and find out. More »

Remembering "Dewey Cocks" (Er, "Cox")

It had been a long time since we'd seen a movie in an actual theater that made us wish we had pause and rewind buttons on our armrests until we saw "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" a few months ago. Not so we could hear the jokes again—which were ok, but not that memorable—but because the film contained an impressive (if brief) bit of nudity ... including full frontal penis, which is pretty much unheard of in a Hollywood film. (Yes, it's in the title, but we didn't think they would actually show it.) Now that the DVD is out, we finally had the chance to admire everything in detail ... and no angry ushers have to get involved when we try the old "hole in the bottom of the popcorn bucket" trick.

Full-Frontal Movie Nudity: We've Got Bush

Full frontal is like the Holy Grail of movie nudity—elusive, thrilling and occasionally just a myth. Yet, a simple glimpse of below the belt flesh will also make you feel young again, mostly because Hollywood seemed to do it best in the 80s and 90s when on-screen nudity was a lot more precious. (Or maybe we were just going to the wrong theaters?) Check out the Uber blog's video retrospective of some the best historical examples of this phenomenon and ponder if this classic "Revenge of the Nerds" moment would have as much impact today ... or if the famous punchline would even make sense to today's bare down there generation.

Instead of complaining about sex scenes we don't like, we prefer to reminisce about Hollywood sex moments that were actually worth remembering—or those moments that made absolutely no sense.

We've always felt that a nude scene is like pizza (even when it's bad, it's still pretty good), but the editors of Paper magazine have listed what they consider to be the worst movie nude scenes of all-time, which basically means any scene involving someone they find unattractive. Not listed: Anyone who works at Paper magazine, because no one would pay them to take their clothes off on film. (papermag.com)

Nuts Goes To The (Topless) Movies

Even though we watch a lot of hardcore movies where tits are a dime a dozen, there's still something a little bit thrilling about seeing an actress pop a boob or two out in a mainstream Hollywood movie. Maybe it's because it's more unexpected or the women are (sometimes) more famous—or maybe it's just because a naked breast is a naked breast and no matter how you're seeing it, it's still cool. You should ponder these great unknowables while admiring Nuts magazine's screen capture skills in their latest cover feature, "100 Topless Movie Babes." The gals are presented in no particular order, so no fighting over who deserves the Academy Award for Best Lighting, Most Jiggle, or Best Set Design. And yes, the magazine does make a "Golden Globes" reference so that's already been taken care of for you. More »

Elisha Cuthbert Naked! (Or Not)

Do these look like the pert, young breasts of a bright, young movie starlet? That's the question on everyone's mind as they look at this clip from little-seen indie adventure, "He Was A Quiet Man." The movie stars a very creepy-looking Christian Slater and a very paraplegic-looking Elisha Cuthbert, and this pair of tits that may or may not belong to her. Consider the fact the she has thus far managed to go an entire career—including two hours playing an actual pornstar—without taking her clothes off and combine that with some rather suspicious edits and the general consensus seems to be those are not authentic Cuthboobs. Still, if you watch the video below and use a little imagination it does create the illusion of seeing her naked ... and isn't that what movie magic is all about? More »

Mainstream Sex Watch: Marisa Tomei Wakes The "Dead"

Much like George Costanza, we've long held a torch for Marisa Tomei and just assumed that if only we could meet she'd find our particular "type" sexy. She's a little older and we're a little wiser, but we're still glad that she finally found a movie role that allows her a significant amount of time to walk around naked. Footage from her new-ish film "Before The Devil Knows Your Dead" has been passed around the webs quite a bit lately, but we think just about every frame of her nakedness has been captured in this Egotastic post in both video and still form. Of course, in this instance "Marisa Tomei nude scene" also means "Philip Seymour Hoffman nude scene," but beggars who still own "My Cousin Vinny" on VHS can't be choosers. More »

Top Ten Horror-ble Nude Scenes

There's one thing that all good horror movies do well: they get aspiring young movie starlets to take their tops off. Low-budget slasher flicks may or may not provide scary thrills, but even the most third-rate, half-assed horror film will find a way to get at least one actress naked before spraying her body in fake blood. A few of the better ones actually manage to work the boobs and sex in the plot, so that it's not quite so obviously gratuitous. One of our personal favorite moments is Eurobabe Anna Falchi boning Rupert Everett on top of her zombie ex-husband's grave in "Cemetery Man," but most of the other choices on this list of the ten best horror nude scenes hold their own. Seriously, if you cast Jenna Jameson in a gory mainstream flick is there any chance she's not going to take her clothes off? More »

Porn Valley Dispatch: I Am Porny Monster

Not since a Gina Lynn poster showed up in the back room of the Bada Bing has pornic memorabilia been so immortalized as when the last man on Earth chatted up a mannequin under Joanna Angel's watchful gaze. Opening weekend attendees of the Will Smith zombie/apocalypse vehicle "I Am Legend" were thrilled to see Joanna Angel's "Porny Monster" featured in the background of a scene in Tower Records, which had its own apocalypse prior to the movie's release.

Hollywood Sex Scene Database: Never Rent A DVD Again!

Ever since "Knocked Up" turned Mr. Skin into a household name, the rest of the world is now aware of what horny internet hounds have known for years—the days of renting movies and sitting through the entire thing just for that 15-second glimpse of your favorite actress' boobs are over. And thanks to the current state of online video, not only can you learn exactly what moment to fast forward to—you don't even need the actual movie anymore! Just find a site like Nerve's new Hollywood Sex Scene Database and see a wide array of mainstream films boiled down to their T-and-A-filled essence Even though it's far from complete, the database is free and it includes most of your more well-known fleshy moments like this notorious glimpse of Mickey Rourke and Carré Otis (allegedly) actually doing it in the 1990 Zalman King potboiler "Wild Orchid". The mailman who has to lug your Netflix videos everyday will thank you. More »

Is Florida The New Porn Valley?

The only place on Earth that has a similar climate, in-ground swimming pool distribution, and permissive community standards on girls in bikinis as Southern California, are the coastal areas of Florida. So you'd think that if there was any place that could compete with the San Fernando Valley as the porn capital of the world, it would be the Sunshine State—and you might be correct. Except for the geographical oddity of being on both the bottom edge of the Bible Belt's buckle and on the leading edge of Key West's and South Beach's middle fingers, which puts the state in the middle of a somewhat conflicted relationship with adult entertainment.

Non-Porn Of The Moment: "The Boys' & Girls' Guide To Getting Down"

We don't watch porn all the time. Sometimes we watch movies that make us think, "She should be in porn." Such was the case with "The Boys & Girls Guide To Getting Down", sort of a travelogue about several blocks in Los Angeles and the substance-fueled meowry that dwell therein ... as well as a helpful primer on getting them naked and making your escape after doing so.

Speaking of NC-17 and other things innocent eyes should not see, is there a Hollywood double standard when it comes to flabby old men taking their clothes off?

Great Moments In Showering: Hollywood Edition

You're all familiar with the phrase "gratuitous nudity", right? It's generally applied to movie scenes in which a female character inexplicably takes off her top, even though the plot, dialogue or character's development do not call for it in any way. Actresses have routinely railed against this practice, declaring that they will only get naked on camera if it is essential to the story. Fortunately, some brave Hollywood screenwriter—who is probably right at this moment standing on a cold picket line somewhere—invented the shower scene. Everyone takes showers, right? So no matter whether your movie is buddy cop flick, a sci-fi alien adventure, or an Oscar-caliber Serious Relationship vehicle, a nice steamy bath moment can be seamlessly woven into the action. And since you have to be naked if you're taking a shower, there's nothing "gratuitous" about it! Our only concern is that to put together this list of the "classic" movie shower scenes, someone actually had to watch "Cruel Intentions 2." That's what's known as "gratuitous violence". More »

Movie Sex Scenes, Take Two

Movie remakes are usually iffy propositions. If you're trying to update a beloved cinema classic, no matter how good the end result, it's going to be tough to top the fans' memories of the original. There's one area, however, where the remake almost always has a clear advantage and that's when it comes to re-imagining the onscreen boinking. More »

TV Sex Drama Getting Slightly Less Boring

More than a few actors have had their careers launched (or at least helped out) by a little bit of nudity. So why are they almost always so ashamed by it? This roundup of celebrities with a "dark past" reveals more than a few mainstream actors who got their start in less-than-mainstream ways. Unfortunately, the accompanying photo gallery has no incriminating photos, so you'll just have to use your imagination if you want to see just what Kevin Costner was doing on "Sizzle Beach USA."

The Mightiest Movie Mammaries

One of the nice things about Breast Cancer Awareness Month (besides all the awareness, we mean) is that it's the one month of the year when you're allowed to focus on boobs without people thinking you're a perv or something. In fact, it's even encouraged! So even a magazine/website devoted to regular old mainstream films can break out a list like the 50 Best Breasts in Movie History and still act like they're just being charitable and not the rack-obsessed horndogs that they are. That's 50 breasts, by the way, so there's only 25 women—but we have to say that their selections are thoroughly researched and even backed up by YouTube-based arguments. As we've said before, it's impossible to truly rank one pair of cans over another (even if we feel Sophia Loren deserves some special mention) ... but it's good to be reminded that the film world has always done a fantastic job of utilizing its greatest special effect.
