Time Out New York / Issue 658 : May 7–13, 2008

The horny issue

Scrotal recall

Do the movies that turned us on as teens still rev us up as adults? Six TONY staffers revisit the flicks that rocked their pubescent worlds years ago.

Velvet Goldmine (1998)

Amy Plitt, editorial coordinator
THEN
When I was 15, I was preoccupied with Ewan McGregor’s penis. The reason: Velvet Goldmine, Todd Haynes’s love letter to ’70s glam rock. When I saw the film (my sister helped me sneak into the theater), I was enthralled and aroused by all of the pretty, pretty boys making out while covered in glitter. My sister was too: We saw it five times. And, um, threw a Velvet Goldmine party when it came out on VHS.

NOW
Would I recommend watching a film that fueled one’s teenage fantasies with one’s new spouse? Yes and no. I did get to show my husband one of my favorite movies; on the other hand, I still squeal during the penis scene (in which an eyelinered Ewan smears himself with glitter and drops trou). Though not as all-consuming, that tingly feeling is still there. And I still think leather pants and makeup on men are totally hot.
