Yes, I get it. Penises are not something we see every day. Oh wait, yes we do. All men (and a good deal of women) see penises every dang day, so why all the chuckling? Of course I'm referring to my recent screening of Watchmen, a film in which a big, blue demigod wanders around most of the film with his big, blue member dangling southward. The first time the oversized organ showed up in the film, I noticed a bunch of (not so) muffled chuckles, and I didn't think much of it. It's weird to see full-frontal male nudity in a mainstream film, doubly so when the wiener is all blue and slightly glowing.

But then, later in the film, the dingle shows up again and again. Director Zack Snyder even has a sequence in which THREE of the blue bullets can be seen clearly, as if to say "There! Get a good look, get the giggles out of your system, and let's move on." It didn't work. The folks at my screening were so tickled by the schlongs that they had to chuckle (firmly and audibly), as if to show a bunch of total strangers that they weren't, I dunno, aroused by the sight of three superhuman wangs. And then, just like Pavlov's dogs, they chuckled every damn time the thing popped up again. If the movie had been 14 hours long, they would have insta-chuckled at the willy another 45 times.

Now, I'm certainly no paragon of maturity, but by the 3rd or 4th time I see an onscreen tallywhacker, I've been pretty much inured to it. So why is it that fully aged and allegedly mature grown-ups are so dang uncomfortable with the sight of a penis? I never hear anyone chuckling when a vagina makes its way on to the silver screen. Just the opposite in fact: You could hear a pin drop when Sharon Stone uncrosses her legs, trust me, I was there when Basic Instinct opened, and Ms. Stone's thighs with it.

So which group were you in? The one that thought Dr. Manhattan's man-parts were the pinnacle of all things blue, circumcised, and hilarious -- or did you actually GET that a godlike character would have next to no need whatsoever for human-style clothing, shame, or insecurity -- and then you simply got on with the film?

Chalk this one up as a rumor right now, even though Moviehole feels pretty confident that it's "going to hit the trades any second now." According to the site, Angelina Jolie has been offered a role opposite Pierce Brosnan in The Topkapi Affair, a sequel to Brosnan's Thomas Crown Affair remake from 1999. Loosely based on the 1964 crime caper Topkapi, The Topkapi Affair will once again follow Thomas Crown (Brosnan) as he attempts to steal some sort of priceless jewel from the Topkapi museum in Istanbul. From there, we're not sure what happens -- but as Brosnan told Moviehole a few months back, "This version of Topkapi will have a different part, different woman, and different affair ... and we're using wonderful locations."

And if everyone has their way, Angelina Jolie will be playing that different woman. In the first film (no, not the Steve McQueen flick), Rene Russo played Brosnan's lover; a part which had the gal don her birthday suit for the first time on the big screen. Of course, folks are already conjuring up a number of naked Jolie images in their heads; hoping she follows in Russo's footsteps. And who can blame them? Personally, if they're going to shell out the dough for Jolie, then I would assume they'll also try to find a way to make the film PG-13. Sorry, but that's the way it is these days. But also keep in mind that Jolie has said that, after filming Clint Eastwood's The Changeling, she's going to take a year off to spend time with her family. So, either the powers that be are looking for a way to convince her otherwise or they're willing to wait for the mega star to get some much-needed down time. As soon as we hear more, you'll be the first to know ...

So, since it's Christmas, and 'tis the season and all that, I'm going to list here the seven movie weapons I wouldn't mind having. Before you recoil in horror from your computer and decide that I'm a loon, hear me out. When I was a kid, we always wanted the hottest movie toy around, and that doesn't seem to have changed at all today. A walk down a toy aisle in any store these days will show you items like Jack Sparrow's Cutlass or a self-inflating Superman suit that lets any kid become a Child of Steel. you see, a really good movie weapon makes you want it. When you see a bad guy or a good guy wielding a plain old gun or a knife on screen, you're like, "Eh, big deal." However, if it's a knife that can cut through stone, or a gun that shoot bullets into the past, then you tend to say, "Holy cow! I want one of those!"

These are seven weapons that made me do just that. Granted, some of them are a bit silly, and some are a bit over the top, but the main point is that none of them exist ... yet. I've found myself wishing I had one at different times, usually while dealing with extremely annoying things like the line at the DMV, people who talk too loudly on cell phones, or people who like to cut you off on the freeway in Southern California. So, these are some of the items that would be in my own private arsenal. What do you want in yours?

It's old news by now that Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will be appearing nude on stage in London during a production of Equus. However, we've recently come across this poster for the upcoming play, and it's hard not to find it just a little bit disturbing. They've even made Radcliffe's nipples into the horse's eyes, and it'll be hard to look at Harry Potter the same way again. The play is about a boy who really loves his horse, and Radcliffe decided to take the role to prove that he could play other parts besides the boy wizard.

There is no doubt that Radcliffe has been offered plenty of other acting roles that would show off his debatable acting skills, but this just really seems off the charts. I recently saw the film Driving Lessons with Rupert Grint who plays Ron Weasley, and he does a great job in the film without dropping a stitch. Plus, with Equus being only a London stage play, won't that limit the amount of people who are going to see what Radcliffe's range is? I guess his parents are supportive of this move, which seems hard to believe, but to each his own. It will be very interesting to see what the public reaction will be to this play. Our prediction: Either shock and empty theater seats, or Potter fans come to see Harry in a whole new light.

Lindsay Lohan told Access Hollywood that she would never do a nude scene, because "I don't think that's what's needed to win an Oscar for me."

So would she do a nude scene in order NOT to win an Oscar? It seems to me she's not refusing to get naked for a role, she just doesn't think it's needed to win an Academy Award. What exactly would the scenario be that would coerce Lohan into going all natural? She really needs to clarify these things.
