Does anybody know what 1930s “arty movie” she’s talking about? ---

Why, oh, why must I encounter these threads while at work? I can’t click on any of that stuff right now, and this thread will be either out of sight or I’ll forget by the time I get home…:smack: ---

**Ecstasy** doesn’t quite meet her description: > [@](#): > > Transformers beauty Megan Fox recently revealed that she would like to star in a movie **entirely naked– from beginning to end**. The actress told The Daily Star: > > ”‘I would love to do a movie naked - it would be beautiful.” > > Her comments are sure to raise more than just an eyebrow however, because Fox said no studio would ever take the chance of making a film like that again. She elaborates: > > “They did it in the 1930s in an arty way.” **Ecstasy** , IIRC, only has a nude swimming scene. ---

[QUOTE=CalMeacham] **Ecstasy** , IIRC, only has a nude swimming scene. [/QUOTE] I haven’t seen it, but according to the Wikipedia, she proceeds to run about through the valley as well. And note that what Miss Fox might have meant (and which doesn’t seem to conflict with her actual words in any way) is that she would like to do **nudity** like they did in the 1930s, i.e. in a artsy rather than cheesy erotic way. She doesn’t specify that the sort of 1930s movie that she’s thinking of was all nude from start to finish, just that what nudity it had was presented in a way that she appreciated enough to _want_ to do from start to finish. I, for one, wholeheartedly approve of the initiative (botox or not.) ---

Not in Hollywood and not Ecstasy or other foreign art movies that were shown in America. Heck, the nude swimming scenes in the original Tarzan that got cut before distribution were artsier than Ecstasy. A few silent films and pre-Code Hollywood films had extras in the nude (for Roman decadence effect, e.g.) but none had the main characters appear in the nude for any length of time or to any effect. They were always slipping in and out of baths that covered their naughty bits, though. Maybe that’s the kind of nudity she was thinking of: non-nudity. By the 1930s you didn’t even have the artsy nudes in Broadway shows, like the Follies. She’s another child of the 2000s who doesn’t know enough about history to know what she’s talking about. ---

Hey! No putting her off wanting act in the nude… If she thinks they did it that way in the 30.s and wants to imitate, who are you to argue otherwise 😉 ---

Guys; get it out of your system. Just google “megan fox jennifers body” , its a new movie she’s in… couple weeks ago, pics emerged of her skinny dipping for a scene in the movie (she’s wearing nothing excet these little skin couloured nipple patches and skin coloured panties). Go nuts. ---

> [@](#): > > If she meant a word of this, she’d have already done nude work, either in a movie or elsewhere. She hasn’t. She’s just teasing with the fanboys. Exactly. The real headline should be “Megan Fox wants to get publicity”. Hot looking actresses know that when they talk about doing nude scenes the press will report it. ---

It is a bad thing. We’re letting them get away with receiving publicity by talking about nude scenes. No more, I say. I’m calling for a ban on stories about nude scenes. From now on, if hot looking actresses want publicity, they’ll actually have to take off their clothes and do a nude scene. It’s like how _Maxim_ screwed us over. Back in the seventies, if an actress wanted to get publicity she had to appear in _Playboy_ - and at least get topless. Now they just do _Maxim_ in lingerie or a bikini. ---
