HBO, you're busted

Although it has not quite recaptured the magic of "The Sopranos," there is no denying that HBO is once again in full stride. With Emmy-winning movies, a panoply of well-done documentaries, successful comedies and dramatic hits both popular — "True Blood" — and critical — "Boardwalk Empire," "Treme" — the premium network bursts with so much justified confidence that it took on the perilous realm of fantasy with the well-received "Game of Thrones."

So maybe it's time to tone down the tits.

I write the word knowing it is going to render my editors and readers apoplectic — why not use the less crude "breasts?" Because I don't mean breasts. Breasts are what you see on cable during a lovemaking scene or when a character is caught unawares or when, as in the season finale of "Game of Thrones," the last of the Targaryens rises, naked and miraculous, from her husband's funeral pyre with three baby dragons clinging to her.

Fair question.

Well I here so many boast of their conservatism here and my opinion, many of these shows would still be good shows without the tits. I see the advent of full nudity in the movies and cable tv as part of the decadence of a moral society.
But should I say,
Not that there is anything wrong with it:-)

In 1984, David Carridine and Maria Socas did a movie called “The Warrior and the Sorceress.” It was a sort of sci-fi, sword and sorcery takeoff on “A Fist Full of Dollars.”

Two warlords are fighting over the village well. Kain (Carridine) decides to take both down and free the sorceress Naja (Socas). Naja (Socas) goes topless for the whole of the movie, flashing the viewer with her magnificent breasts for 1 hour and 21 minutes.

After watching this display for 81 minutes, I kept wishing Naja would have discovered the sports bra. It certainly would have made some of her action scenes a bit easier; that is, keeping the boobs under control. Titillation is one thing, but boredom soon sets in and you're soon ready for something less explicit.
