Salon takes on the lack of nudity in American cinema. I've got a whole lot of commentary I'd like to make on the topic but I think I'd better wait a while, let some recent experiences sink in a bit, before I start rambling. Anyway, a teaser, pushing the limits of "fair use", to get you to read it:

"If female moviegoers are the ones who are made to feel uncomfortable at the sight of a naked actress on-screen, they should also consider that cultivating a climate in which women's bodies are kept under wraps, revealed chastely and tastefully or not at all, isn't the answer to making them feel better -- if anything, it's only likely to make them feel more objectified."
