The review noted that McKellen shed not only his sanity but also, at one point, his trousers.

That's a relief; he's kept himself in much better shape than Michael Gambon.

mckellen = gandalf or magneto
gambon/harris = dumbledore

I came in for the photoshop of Dumbledore lifting up his robe to show his chest and i'm disappointed.

A friend of mine saw him in King Lear live on a trip to England; and as she put it "Gandalf doesn't need a staff".

Peter O'Toole played Dumbledore, dumbassmitter.

Ian McKellan was Obi Wan Kenobi.

From the article:
"...she was asked about McKellen's full-frontal nudity and whether it would be acceptable for public television."

I vote no.

/willing to change my vote if Salma Hayek takes over McKellen's role

Well, aside from the anatomical...

It talks and shiat. Great orator.

Ian McKellen's penis was Stifl.

She's legal now, right? If so, then yes, yes, a thousand expeleramuses between her milky white thighs.

If not, I'm appalled that you would suggest such a thing, you pervert.

I'm amused by how emphatically PBS CEO Paula Kerger emphasizes just how powerful his "performance" was, and that "[t]his is the kind of thing people should have a chance to see."

Whether or not the FCC will let them broadcast it, I suspect she has her own personal footage of McKellan's wizard's staff, that frisky little Minx.

Ian Holm played Lear in a production that aired on PBS in the 90's, and did the "Lear goes mad" scene nude as well. Aired with nary a comment or controversy that I can recall. People need to get lives.

 
All Apologies 2008-07-13 12:36:25 PM  
"Let's talk about this in January," Kerger said, attempting to boot the issue to the next scheduled meeting of the critics' group.

Coincidentally, Bush will be out and Obama will be in, so it will be a different political atmosphere. A little nudity on TV won't be hailed as the moment western civilization went into decline and we were all doomed to hell.

I will say that the upskirt of Hermione from a few months ago was way hotter that Paris, Britney and Lohan's combined and it showed less.

But I hope PBS doesn't show the scene. Not for prudish reasons. I think all it will do is get a fine from the FCC and give the ultra-right a chance to cut funding.

Maybe Ian can just act like he is nude.

I think I recall she stated she wouldn't mind doing nude

she sure didn't mind flashing her kitty

You mean McKain. I'm afraid you misunderestimate[sic] the volume of stupid redneck voter contingent. And since McKain is a mirror image of Bush, things will still be a living hell; especially in regards to the state of our liberties.

/But let's not turn this into a political debate.

/if you do a uncensored Google Image Search for "GGG" and "Magdalena" be forewarned, they're about as NSFW as you could possibly get.

I think the Seinfeld episode The Movie got it right, "You know, men can sit through the most boring movie if there's even the slightest possibility that a woman will take her top off."

Legal in Britain anyway, but illegal for you, since crossing state lines or having someone cross statelines to have sex with younger than 18 is a Federal felony. Now you can have sex with 16 year old males in Florida, as long as it doesn't involve being in a position of responsibility if that makes you happy.
