Any reason for the nudity?

Now that this has been brought up, I will say that I am a nudist (or atleast will be with the oppurtunity). By that, I mean I went to Miami for two weeks last spring, and went out to nude Haulover beach for several hours on Saturday and Sunday, May 6/7, and was nude the whole time, and never in my life have felt as comfortable or at ease. That was the first time I had done that, but only because I am from the Carolinas and there is nothing around here like that at all (both states are so conservative-sigh). But I was planning to move to Miami, and had plans to regularly go to this beach, and was looking very foward to it. I then decided to return to Charlotte for the summer to get a car, then return last month. Some things happened, and I have not been able to yet, but as soon as I do I will move back to Miami permanently, and will often go out there nude. So yes, I am a nudist as far as being nude in public places that allow it are concerned. I'd also do a video like this, or pose like this for an art class that had it, if could find these oppurtunities. And celebrity couple John Stamos and Rebecca Romojin held nude pool parties at their LA based house when married (saw this in PARADE), and I often thought how I'd liked to have gone to these (or even held them myself). So I have been aware for years that there are really nudists, and it is only what I just desribed. Thank goodness Miami has this beach, but the Carribean, where Open Water took place, has many, and I have wondered if Susan and Daniel went to one earlier in this trip (I think it is certainly possible, as Haulover was packed both those days). And I did think often while there then that I was Daniel, and Susan was-well Susan, and fully nude like that again. I also thought about Lisa and Cynthia from Red Eye like this while out there, as this movie and Open Water are connected for me, and the hotel they were at was right near this beach (ones on here that also saw Red Eye will realize that).

Well, I'm back in Miami (returned December 16, was not able to get job/car), but still seem to really like it here, and returned to Haulover Beach on Sunday, December 17 for a few hours, and have been back over ten times since, and plan to continue going whenver can. And it has been very crowded every day I've been with others like Susan in this movie, and they are just regular people that don't have problems with this when they get the chance. Another thing, I am also a devoted vegetarian (ie my signature), and go to the Aventura Olive garden most nights after being there to eat the garden salad, but I'm typing this at the Sunny Isles Beach library now, just up from Haulover Beach (where I will go later today). I am also a total non drinker, but John Barry and Errol Flynn were both notoriously heavily drinkers. But they were both very liberal as well, and it just seemed very strange tome that if you were fans of these two men you would have problems with simple nude beaches.

I know, wtf? We're debating female nudity in a film, and then this dude starts naming names (John Barry and alcohol? Where the beep did THAT come from?) and bragging about the beaches he's been naked on and what the hell does any of this have to do with seeing Blanchard Ryan's tits?
I'm ROFLMAO, yet at the same time I feel so
sad
.
And a little bit dirty.
Sigs suck, and so do people who use them. -

Hey hereminton- My God man- do you like to talk about yourself or what???? Jesus- give us a break. This discussion was about a movie with a harmless scene of a naked girl in it. We really -REALLY- do not care about or have any desire whatsoever to hear about nudist thoughts, fantasies, etc,.

Actually, a lot of couples (married or otherwise)sleep together, and lie in bed together, just prior to sleeping, sans clothing. And not necessarily for the purpose of sex. Many people (my wife of 15 years and I included), simply find it more comfortable than wearing pajamas, which can tend to bunch up if you move around in your sleep. And since it would be rather pointless to put pajamas on, only to remove them before going to sleep, this means any time spent reading, watching TV or just talking in bed before going to sleep, is also done clothing-free.
Also, and most seem to have missed this point, earlier in the scene they established that it's "fking hot in here", because the A/C was broken. I think that this is a very realistic aspect.
That said, I also agree that in the context of the movie, it was a rather gratuitous (if enjoyable) display. Even as I was watching it, I was getting the impression that it was just put in for a quick thrill for the young males in the audience.
Realistic, yes. At all integral to the plot, not really. -

Exactly. This part of what bugged me about it. The other thing that bugged me is that we saw her lounging nude and not so much as his bare bottom. He slipped into bed without showing any of his private bitsnot even a side-butt (to borrow from Family Guy) shot, as if he always has a camera in the bedroom. What's up with that?
Gratuitous and unfair nudity, I say. If you're gonna do it, make both of 'em show significant skin.
