I've heard a lot of whining about Manhattan's digital wang.
Get over it, dude. I'm pretty sure you've seen male genitalia before; seeing a pretend schlong shouldn't be so distracting as to take away from the rest of the movie.

Not only would it be less true to the character to have him walking about clothed, but seriously, it's time to get rid of this annoying double standard people seem so fond of: full nudity is ok if it's a woman showing the skin, but exposed trousershroom is a no-go. I've yet to read a single complaint about the T&A shown by the female actresses.

For someone else who prefers to see the nude female form more than the male form, I still felt gratified by Manhattan's disregard of clothing. In part because it was true to the book, in part because it was novel, and finally because it was about f*ing time for me to look around the theatre and note the guys squirming instead of watching just the women get uncomfortable in the dark.
