		<description>Agreed. This is a constant source of aggravation for us, particularly with prime time television. Whenever we see some horrific act of violence, John yells out, &quot;But you can&#039;t see a titty!&quot; Sofia Myles, right before Moonlight aired last season, had made a similar comment about American entertainment: you can&#039;t show a nipple being licked, but you can show one getting sliced off in an act of violence.  </description>

		<description>Could have been. Reagan made that comment several times beginning in 1985. The time frame seems about right.  </description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;I feel like if they showed more man junk in movies, then perhaps it wouldn&#039;t be so distracting.&quot;&lt;?i&gt; 
 
This is true.  I blame our (as in America&#039;s) lingering Puritanical sensibilities.  For all that we love our gratuitous violence, looking at naked people, particularly men, still freaks us out.  There&#039;s a lot more nudity among both genders in foreign films.  I find it interesting in a sociological  way that we are more comfortable with portrayals of horrendous violence than we are with depictions of pleasure, or even just people who happen to not be wearing clothes.  I haven&#039;t quite figured out what that means in terms of our collective psychology, but it has to be significant in some way.&lt;/i&gt; </description>

		<description>Spot on, even though I didn&#039;t find the Radioactive Blue Junk all that distracting. </description>

		<description>That&#039;s interesting, because I read somewhere that when Moore was writing it he wanted to put Reagan as Pres in that dystopic world but was discouraged from doing so.  So he put in Nixon, a Pres that most people view as bad.  I wonder if the giant squid was a reference to Reagan then? </description>

However, the term radioactive junk is aahhhmaaaazing. </description>

		<description>I&#039;m okay with the lack of squid.  The ending is satisfactorily complex without it.  I do wish they&#039;d done a better job rendering the giant lynx, though. 
 
&lt;i&gt;&quot;And let us not forget the other heavy element here: Blue Man&#8217;s schlong, which was giant and glowing and simply so there that you couldn&#8217;t help but look at it.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; 
 
It is much more detailed than the original drawings, but oddly unmoving (apparently at the insistence of the studio suits).  The group I went with is referring to it as &quot;Dr. Manhattan&#039;s radioactive junk&quot;, which I think would make a decent band and/or album name.  Just be glad that, in keeping with the graphic novel, they didn&#039;t show it when he was a hundred feet tall. </description>

		<description>I&#039;ve never been a fan of the giant squid, but I get where it was coming from. I remember Reagan saying that only an intergalactic threat would bring the world together (or something like that, I&#039;m paraphrasing).  </description>

		<description>I never thought that giant squid would work on the big screen.  I mean...it&#039;s a giant squid.  And how you get to the giant squid in the book is just super complex.  The Doctor Manhattan thing worked out well for the movie, I think.  So I never really understood all the indignity going around the internet about the lack of giant squid, even BEFORE the movie came out. </description>
