The phoney baloney debate about censorship and the right of expression burns my butt. There were lots of glimpses of nudity in early films until it disturbed the local standards of small towns that showed the films. Then all sorts of codes were imposed because Hollywood had earned a reputation for lewd living and even rape and murder. Then in the late 50s early 60s, movies started pushing the envelope on nudity, adult subjects, and profanity. Claimed they were depicting "the real world," after apparently depicting Fantasyland for the first 50 years or so. Truth was, the movies were losing audiences to TV that people could watch in their living rooms. But TV was broadcast over public airways and therefore regulated. So instead of improving its product, Hollywood fell back to providing things that American TV didn't show--more and more nudity and more and more profanity. Then came the unregulated cable TV industry and started beating the movies at their own game. Freedom of expression and reality don't mean a damn--it's all about pulling in the viewers. Both sides will keep pushing the envelope until they finally go too far and society again cracks down on them.
Meanwhile, in any town big enough to have a post office, there's almost always someplace one can go and see live all the nudity and hear all the profanity one cares to, if one is big enough to toss the admission fee onto the bar.
