Top 10 Full-Figured Foxes Who Have Gone Nude
Top 10 Full-Figured Foxes Who Have Gone Nude
Last week, on online article on the Brit Blog The Independent questioned whether or not audiences were still willing to go to the movies to see naked knockers on the big screen. Based on, among other things, the poor box office showing of Love and Other Drugs, despite Anne Hathaway's much-hyped nude scene, the author concludes that it does not.
Part of the reason, he thinks, is that, "the internet has provided us with free access to many things we previously expected to pay good money for, including pictures of movie stars' breasts."
Mr. Skin's ears are burning!
But even if A-list stars doing grade (T&)A nudity didn't translate to ticket sales for movies like Love and Other Drugs, Chloe, and Eyes Wide Shut (which came out the same year as Mr. Skin was launched), lack of nudity in a flick where audiences expect it is still a sure-fire way to torpedo an opening weekend.
The article gives us a case in point:
Jennifer's Body, a teen sex horror, might seem appealing to horny teenage boys – except that its writer, Diablo Cody, made very clear that it was a more complex work than that: a tale of female friendship and empowerment. The boys stayed away in droves (and so did the girls).
Damn right. Now let's see Anne Hathaway's princess dairies again!
Comments
only underlines the lack of chemistry. Good movies with good chemistry sells tickets.
Blaming the Internet for overall poor box office results is like blaming the sinking of the Titanic on the position of the deck chairs.
The author is also wrong in stating that Anne Hathaway had a much hyped nude scene. In the US (and probably the UK), you will not find one single ad that lets viewers know Hathaway has any nudity. Some discussion on the internet does not constitute anywhere near the hype that a constant barrage of tv commercials do.
The only movies in the US that continually get people to movie theaters nowadays are children's movies. If the theaters want others to buy tickets they'll have to change their image. More people watch things at home now on dvd than go to the theater.
