Either I have forgotten these topless pics or I didn’t know of their existence.

Only the British could make extensive and beautiful nudity extremely boring.
I don’t find it boring at all, in fact I prefer casual nude scenes like this.
It’s something that’s very rare in movies & TV, that sort of, “Why is this character naked?” “No reason, really, other than they are home and comfortable and why not?” I’m not crazy about, say, Larry Clark’s movies, but I appreciate that he has nude scenes that are like that, just people hanging out and maybe not bothering to put something on because there’s no reason to. It certainly makes more sense than scenes where characters probably would be naked, but for reasons that are more Doylist than Watsonian, they’re not.
Just the conversation.
“Nobody will be admitted during the riveting George is coming back scene!”
You share that with Gilbert Gottfried. He would talk about his preference for mundane, non-sex nude scenes on his podcast and in interviews.
I’m kind of in that camp. I like nudity in sunlight or other good light, with the view of the woman unimpeded by a guy. I also like it when the women are vertical.
(Not that I mind the alternatives!)
Bingo. Non-sexual nudity is actually my favorite. A naked woman in the kitchen preparing a meal is sweet! And yes, vertical is much better, breasts look much better that way (unless she’s horizontal in MY bed, that’s obviously the best).
As for this scene, a woman greeting her man stark naked in her apartment is fantastic, and I wasn’t bored for a minute looking at her breasts, ass or her lovely red bush.
