Uncle Scoopy's world-weary musings about naked celebrities, sports, humor and other important, manly things.
pretty lady. Should have had more nude scenes!
Are you serious? She did quality and quantity. Wishing that Sydney or Saoirse Ronan would do the same.
In fact, Jennifer has good nude scenes and some striking ones. But she didn’t do that many nude scenes and not that explicit either, like Kate Winslet, Eva Green, etc. Sidney Sweeney is much younger than her and has almost the same number of nude scenes as Jennifer Connelly has done throughout her career.
Hard to compare Jennifer to Kate and Eva as they are European actresses so they are getting offered far more nude roles. Jennifer did a lot for an American in Hollywood. Sydney has done quite a bit at a young age. Hopefully she will be leading the way for a much sexier Hollywood future.
Someone can double-check my math, but I count 9 nude scenes for Connelly and 11 for Green (I am not counting White Bird in a Blizzard or Womb, and I count 3 scenes for Camelot and only 2 scenes for Penny Dreadful).
Yes, I agree about Eva Green. However, if you take into account the fact that Kate is British, she should never have been naked so many times, because the British are more conservative about nudity than Americans are. Even though they are European, they are more closed-minded about this issue. And even considering only American actresses, Angelina Jolie and Sharon Stone have done more nude scenes and more explicit ones than Jennifer. And Sydney Sweeney has done a lot of scenes too, despite being very young. Not to mention Margaret Qualley, who is also very young and has done a lot of nude scenes, and she is American.
Yeah….Helen Mirren the poster child for British conservatism on nudity “
British are not more conservative than America about such things, not even close really. Just look at what they have allowed on public TV for decades compared to America.
One thing that is true is that they have been the most influenced by the feminist “PC” culture resulting in more hesitance toward attractive female nudity in their media. This has effected all liberal cultures but even America despite the complaints has not had the same level of fall off compared to other Anglo cultures like UK and Australia.
Her nude scenes were relatively brief but provided great looks. Oddly enough, she only did either topless or bottomless scenes but never did a bona fide full frontal shot. She actually shot a lengthy topless scene in Shelter because she felt like it didn’t make sense for her to immediately put her shirt on after sex. Her husband put the kibosh on that because he thought her boobs were distracting.
Very nice. It show that the phenomenon of see through gowns at swanky events is not entirely new. I guess it sort of comes and goes. Actually, for example, my understanding is that during the 1600s in Europe it was not uncommon for fashionable women to wear dresses that exposed most or all of their breasts, while at the same time exposing their legs was considered outside of what could be done.
Well, nowadays at least, I see more nude scenes of American actresses in films and series than British actresses. And in the history of cinema, it’s quite the same… The Americans and the British did a lot of nudity at the same level.
Nude scenes have been pretty much routine on British movies and broadcast TV since the late 1960s. I think its accurate to say that ‘political’ christianity is currently virtually non-existent in the UK so we don’t have much public controversy about it but, like lots of things, nudity in movies and TV goes in and out of fashion and maybe there’s less of it right now than there has been at other times. Even so, I’d guess that there is nudity on mainstream broadcast TV pretty much every night of the week, in one form or another, if you can be bothered to look for it.
I’m just saying this… Because it’s something I’ve noticed in comments on British news sites on news stories that involve something about nudity or nude scenes. Most people post very conservative comments about it and usually get upvotes on those comments, that’s always caught my attention. And not to mention the things I mentioned about nudity in movies, nowadays it’s more likely to see American actresses naked than British ones. And back in the day, it was pretty egalitarian.
On news sites and also British ones that I’ve already come across and have already talked about it.
You are right political Christianity has no influence in UK but liberal feminism does and they do make controversies about such things. I still remember a controversy over female nude scenes in a UK series from around 2018-2019. UK media took a bunch of whiny feminist complaints from twitter and made it into a news story. They said such scenes shouldnt be allowed after “metoo”. All it was was some casual nude scenes of a woman in a shower and another of her getting out of bad.
I know there are many who deny the negative effects this has had on female nudity in film/TV but with the UK it is more easily documented. There was a UK website called TheToplessReview which documented British nude scenes and you could see the big decline over the years from 2010-2020. UK takes PC culture to the extreme so they have been effected by this morality even more than America. With rare exceptions the only female nudity that shows up in UKtv is from nude themed shows or sex documentaries.
I understand that people talk about France, Spain or Germany as European countries that are still very liberal when it comes to nudity and stuff like that. But nowadays, the UK is on par with the US in this regard.
