Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We had a side view this time. They'd have risked nippelage.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

It might have been that Dushku reportedly is trying to change her image - she had Kevin Smith tone down the character she played in "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back" and even remove his intended homosexuality for character.

Dude.

That is so depressing. What's with that? I mean, I could understand her wanting to try trading less upon her sexuality - wanting to be taken more seriously, avoid typecasting, get a wider range of roles blah blah blah. I could understand that. But saying you won't play a character 'cause they're gay? That you've got to het them up?

I mean, hell, Faith was never expressly, unambiguously, textually gay. Implicit as hell that she wasn't stick shift only, but it's not like Dushku was playing Tara or Kennedy or Willow. So it's not a case of trying to avoid typecasting, surely? wtf?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Fay - I really expect it is more what Trudy said.

It was side view. If she had not been wearing a bra we would have had nippelage. Not allowed on stupid puritanical American broadcast TV.

t On Edit

Sorry Trudy -name changed.

Hee, Typo-- could you change my name?

Or MAYBE she's droopy. Could happen.

It's a remora, dimwit.

You know, when working on a set, they can easily get any view they want by the way they position the cameras and the actors.

The droopy theory is very nice for the schadenfreude.

It beats the slidey factor, but since she wasn't on her back in any shots that isn't really a possibility.

Gar, what she said had nothing to do with the Jay and Silent Bob movie.

My post responded to the comments about the Kevin Smith movie and the assertion that Eliza requested that the sexual orientation of her character in the movie be altered. That's what I was talking about. Not about nipples or lack thereof in any episode of Buffy. I'm sorry that I didn't express myself clearly enough. I remain surprised and disappointed that Eliza would object to playing a dyke.

It's not tragic, really.

I gotta say, my first encounter with the slidey factor was something of a shock.
