I think it’s only erotic for the viewer, not the naked lass; and the snake is very clearly a phallic symbol. ---

I picked Salma. That being said, I’m a little disappointed that Rachel Weisz wasn’t among the nominees. The photo was on the cover of Esquire so I don’t think it should be too objectionable. Nonetheless, I’m going to wimp out and tell everyone to do a GIS search under “Rachel Weisz” and “snake.” ---

> [@Enright3](#): > > woah. So are you saying you saw that movie? 🙂 What did you think of it? I might have to Netflix it for the Lucy Liu factor, but otherwise it doesn’t look so good.
