Billy Crudup was not used as the model for Dr. Manhattan’s blue body. It was some dude who is 6′4 220+ lbs. I tried looking him up but there is no revealing of his name that I could find.

It was nice to see a dude’s junk larger than life on screen for once tho. And who said they were all excited about seeing Silk’s tittays? It was like looking at a 12 year old boy. Her outfit had some serious push-up action going in it.

I’m a bit amazed by all the press re: Dr. Manhattan’s nudity. Note the following:
-The character was clothed in the scenes he was in public (i.e. when not alone, with his significant other, or with his peer Watchmen).
-Out of 2 hours and 40+ minutes he’s seen full-frontal for less than a minute.
-The 1985 graphic version was a consistent rendering of male genitalia for that era and not unlike the Ken doll’s package.
_The graphic version was vague enough not to Really illustrate his religious nor cultural background yet so many are fixated on the movie version being a circumcised penis. Dr. M is a manifestation of Jon Osterman who (as a male living in the N.E. U.S. in the 80’s) had an 83% chance of being circumcised.
Women’s bodies have been plastered across movie screens for nearly 90 years. This is quid pro quo for the ladies. Guys, get over your penis shock.
That being said, and this being a humor venue, I imagine the IMAX version of any part of this film would have been stunning. Point well taken there.
(For those of you who feel they can’t Have a Life AND read books during it–Try it before sharing uninformed opinions. Watchmen was a very different type of book which had multiple plots throughout it. If you consider what was written and what they managed to get across in the film… this movie was brilliant. If you only want to be spoon fed a simple plot with action and typical sex scenes then you are out of your league here.)

I searched to see why it was so important to have him appear naked 99% of the time. In the end I was left saying to myself – thank goodness they covered him when he was in Jolly Green Giant mode or his action would have taken up the whole screen.

i don’t understand how anyone could have a problem with this movie except to say that it wasn’t exactly what they personally expected; the movie seemed to be pretty much flawless

I loved the movie, especially Rorschach. I guess the blue penis was noticeable in a few scenes but in a movie that’s 3 hours long, I really didn’t pay as much attention to it as the people who are grossed out. I’m definitely going to read the graphic novel now, it’s supposed to be one of the top 25 “comic books” out there. I generally don’t read comic books, but if it’s a good story, why not? Katie seems a little defensive, I mean reading a book doesn’t take that long even if you really do have a life.

“we have been subjected to women flashing there shit in movies for years….its about time the cock gets some recognition”

All you ever see of woman in R movies are breasts and pubic hair. You never see female genitalia. Now with that said I have no problem with nudity in movies. I think people are way to over sensitive about it. But it is a double standard when it come to showing genitals.

Here’s my question: what did they do with his balls? In the reference image from the comic, there’s sack. In the movie? None.

Did they pull some half-science rewrite on us, saying the radiation fried them off? And why didn’t he swell up like the other eunuchs?
