Last Movie Watched

I wasn't liking The Northmen very much before the end of the film, but the ending made no sense - where were their penises?

Two macho men fighting it out naked on the slopes of a volcano and yet - not a single swinging dick in silhouette. Makes absolutely no sense and pulled me right out.

That was my takeaway from The Northmen.
 
It was a really beautifully shot fight at the end, but it was kinda funny to think there was a conversation like "okay, we end this, here and now, today... with our dicks out" that happened somewhere along the line.
 
The double-standard of women always having to take their clothes off in media while the men show nothing has long bothered me. So yes, either both - or neither.

Though this trend has sort of evolved in the last decade or so. If an ingenue male actor shows his dick in his first or second project, Hollywood falls over itself giving that actor roles. Harris Dickinson (natch), Josh O'Connor, Daryl McCormack, Cooper Koch, Jacob Elordi and Chalamet (though the former's dick was the only one we didn't see in Euphoria S1 and we only saw Timmy's butt), but some older examples are Fassbender, Jason Segel, Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal - all their careers "popped" after these scenes. It didn't even take a dick shot for Leo Woodall from White Lotus S2 to suddenly have a great career.

It's not just men - Margot Robbie stole Wolf of Wall Street with a full-frontal shot and jumpstarted her career and Mikey Madison won an Oscar this year - but it's definitely the trend now. Or maybe it's always been this way and I've only caught on recently. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch but I am happy it's finally trending slightly towards equality.
 
Growing up in Scandinavia, everything is allowed at certain parks and there's just no shame in it. I'm down for normalising dick.

That's the mission I strive for. I blame America and Christianity.
 
I don't know about hogs, but I'd argue dudes with washboard abs are shown in movies and TV far more often than women's bodies these days. In the 80's it was the other way around. I suppose that's progress, but young male body dysmorphia is on the rise.
