In an interview published when SHORT CUTS was first released, Huey (who,
according to Pamela DesBarres, is hung like a horse) was asked that very
question and replied, "For as many takes as that scene took, I'd have had to
have had a bladder the size of Utah" (or words to that effect). He then went
on to describe the mechanics involved in cinematic micturition; i.e., a
second hose in his pants.

The answer is no. I worked on Short Cuts. It wasn't Huey. It was a
guy named Dean Mason. I worked on two Altman films back to back.
Short Cuts and The Player.

It wasn't exactly a frontal nude scene, was it? The shot was from
such a distance that you couldn't even see Lewis' member.
At any rate, it was definitely faked. (Evidently, Altman wanted to
leave arty urination scenes to filmmaker Michael Snow.) Furthermore, it
wasn't even anatomically correct, since rumour has it that Lewis has the
biggest tallywhacker in the music business, and the way the scene was
filmed, the character obviously has perfectly average equipment.

Do tell us more, Robert.

who remembers, somewhat uncomfortably, the pissing scene in "Taxi Zum
Klo" and wonders if anyone else in the audience was afraid of getting
splashed from the extreme close-up

Oh it's full frontal nudity you want is it, pissing scene, in a G film no

You mean more about the pissing scene in "Short Cuts", or the Michael
Snow pissing scene?
I can't tell you more about the "Short Cuts" scene; it's just a long
shot of Lewis standing on a little cliff and peeing into the stream about
thirty or forty feet below. No big deal. He's got his hand on his willy so
even if it weren't being faked, you wouldn't have been anything to see.
The Snow scene, from his movie "Rameau's Nephew", isn't actually that
much more interesting. Well, maybe it is. It's a piss duet; a man and a
woman peeing into aluminum buckets with microphones inside, recording
every splash and dribble. As I said, arty.

Oh great -- now I'm going to spend the rest of the day trying to imagine
how the filmmakers explained this to the equipment rental agency when the
time came to return the microphones.

Altman has said that he would not include full frontal female nudity in a
film (the corpse and Julianne Moore) unless he balanced it with a full
frontal male shot. Let's hear it for sexual equality.
And the CARA (Classification and Ratings Administration) line on the penis
is, it's an NC-17 if it's erect or semi-erect or shown in a sexual context
(see WIDE SARGASSO SEA, if you dare).

Complete with singing of Gilbert and Sullivan, if I'm not mistaken.
By the way, I have never heard of Mr. Lewis being that big. The bay
area singer with that rep is moody, magnificent Chris Isaak

Home sick and feeling moody, but certainly not magnificent.

God help me for remembering this, but a friend of mine saw a daytime-TV
interview with one of those celebrity groupies who had slept with a
zillion famous people, and apparently she went ON and ON and ON about how
huge Huey Lewis was. My friend says she can't even listen to his music
anymore with out visualizing that.

I've seen polaroids. It's not THAT big.

How can you tell in the Polaroids if it's Chris Isaak? Is he playing
the guitar and looking dreamy?

"friend" of many a rock star), appeared on: "Geraldo" and "The Joan
Rivers Show". Connie said that Huey Lewis was "larger than life" and also
divulged to Miss Joan that she "sure got a lot of protein in [her] diet".
I seem to recall that after this pronouncement Joan took her floral
centerpiece and pretended to exit the stage, speechless for the first time
in her life.
Jennifer, who can't believe this is a tidbit she remembers so vividly.
