Gone Too Soon: Mamorial Day Top 10
Gone Too Soon: Mamorial Day Top 10
Mr. Skin's Skin Skout caught a screening of the upcoming drama Take This Waltz at the Toronto Film Festival, and the early report confirms that comedienne Sarah Silverman appears to make her nude debut 41 minutes into the film. Sarah, along with Blue Valentine babe Michelle Williams and Bliss's Jennifer Podemski, bares full frontal as the gals casually chat in a locker room. (Williams, a veteran of 6 nude roles, bares bush again at the 51-minute mark and boobs 1 hour, 37 minutes in, but this is the only skin scene featuring nudecomer Silverman).
The always sarcastic Sarah has been on a campaign of self-deprecation since the news of her nude scene broke last winter, telling New York magazine that she gained 20 pounds for the role and that "In all honesty, I would say it's a lot closer to Kathy Bates in About Schmidt than, like, Julianne Moore in Short Cuts. I am begging you to lower your expectations!"
Speaking of lowered expectations, though the cast hasn't admitted to faking their nudes, with the film still on the festival circuit our skin technicians haven't had a chance to skinspect the footage for CGI nipples or merkins- and with Apatow regular Seth Rogen on the project, there's always a chance he brought some of that bad The Change-Up juju with him.
Our verdict? Cautiously optimistic. There IS a full frontal scene in Take This Waltz, and we're betting Sarah is looking a lot better than her comedic sensibilities will let her admit. But with the threat of CGI nudes on the horizon, we'll believe tits when we see 'em.

She specifically talked about Michelle Williams' 'beautiful, full triangular bush' and discussed her own issues with shaving for the scene. Further, she talked about how the camera caught a 'lipslip' during a scene (scene confirmed, minus the subsequently-edited-out lipslip, by Recapped.com) where she was shaving her leg in an elevated position.
As much as I appreciate your 'cautious optimism', I can't imagine why you'd feel the need to question the integrity of the scene in your blog headline.
A lot of people on celeb message boards and such have really gone overboard with 'Chicken Little' fears that all nudity is being replaced by CGI and merkins, despite the fact that only an extremely limited number of films have used such devices.
Not to mention, this is a small budget indie film directed by an actress who has done nudity before. It features an actress who has done substantial nudity before (Williams) and a very candid actress who, while being a 'screen nudity virgin', has discussed the nude scene in intimate detail in recorded interviews.
Leave the Chick Little tremors to the amateurs, Mr. Skin. You're a pro at this stuff and I really expected better from you. :(
