In Full-Frontal Steve Stewart had compiled a list of a hundred or so movies (some of which were, er, "specialist" rather than mainstream), illustrated by a dozen or so blurry, grainy images. The second edition was produced in 1998, but without the images (they had fallen foul of copyright claims by actors anxious to suppress pictures of their winkies).
All that has changed.
I use actor Zachary Knighton only by way of illustration: here, captured for eternity (yeah, right), are stills from his full-frontal appearance in La Vie Figurelle, an obscure 2002 movie.
I think it's rather nice that Zach's penis has been preserved for posterity, and that we can all so easily access images of it.
A paperback today would run to thousands of titles rather than a few dozen, and this trend is, I think, to be thoroughly applauded. Although I remain grateful to that publishing pioneer.

Well, how fun!!! Zachary is one of the stars of a bit of fluffy brain candy on Wednesday night TV here - I noticed him right away, and now, thanks to you, we get the whole package - the season ender was earlier this evening so your post was certainly timely!
PS - blogger is screwing with my ability to post to you on my regular google account - are they up to some new and scurrilous evildoings?? jsstrand
Blogger seems to have gone a bit mad -- I can no longer access any of my blogs from my work computer, which is immensely frustrating (though my employer is probably grateful).
