Pasty English meat on the Great White Way
July 16th, 2008 by Glynette Cougarsmith
PBS is filming the New York production of King Lear to air on their TV network, and they’re debating whether to show the scene in which actor Ian McKellen is full frontally nude. This brings up an important issue — do you have to get a faceful of English sausage every time you see a show now? Between McKellen and Harry Potter in Equus you can’t escape it. Is this another consequence of the weak dollar, that we’re outsourcing the naked weiner parts? Not that I’m eager to see them with the “Made in the USA” or “USDA” stamped on them, but in movies too it seems like there’s always a guy named Ewan or Rhys or Nigel in a big hurry to take his pants off. Okay, the pound is strong – you win – now put away your man-meat.
