Spotted on IMDb ...

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.

To describe the level of wrong it is to cut that scene would involve measuring in light years.

I don't even give a shit about Colin Farrell and I think they better not cut those scenes.

Give me a fuckin' BREAK.

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, nude scenes of Hot Starlet were cut because the men were over-excited ["over-excited"? Fuck off] and the women looked really uncomfortable.

SHYEAH, RIGHT!

All I can think is that if it's big enough to distract from the plot, I want to see it now.

Then again, if it's that big, all I have to do to see it is go outside and look to the east. And I'm in DC, for crying out loud.

Lo, to the East there arose a great and terrible monument, and it blotted out the sun, so that a firey halo was about it, and all those in its shadow did tremble in fear (or something).

It's a damn good thing that I'm well practiced at not spitting out liquids when I want to laugh.

Her tits are really not that big. Not unless she's bought herself a new pair.

James Bond? I thought she only showed her boobs in that absolutely wretched mess of a cyberhacker movie that I gleefully forgot the name of.

And what's worse, there was NO plot reason to show the boobs. It was just 'Hey, titties!'. Not that that's a bad thing but I like a little artistic integrity

Well, she had a terrific bikini scene in Tomorrow Never Dies.

The two movies she's been actually topless in were Swordfish and Monster's Ball.

Meanwhile, in Troy, the censors decided that Diane Kruger's nipples were far more damaging to public morality and decency than Brad Pitt slaughtering about two hundred people.

Meanwhile, in America, the idea that female genitalia should make it on film is just as absurd as male. They might make exceptions, but they generally avoid it.
