Damn somebody turned on the snark right quick.
Calm the fuck down, I just posed the question.Though we might have a discussion that's not kneejerk and assy... I even put a "?" in the thread title.
I don't just mean that the chicks are sexy. Most movie stars are. I was thinking about the near fetishism of how they are presented.
Is Christian Bale a good looking dude? Hell yeah. Is he ever shown as a sex object in "Batman"? No. Does the camera ever pan lovingly over Hugh Jackman's ripped and strong and sweaty shoulders? It doesn't.
When the camera showed Batman's latex ass in "Batman 4" it was mocked for years. When the camera gets all sorts of closeups of Catwoman's, Elektra's, Lara Crofts, Halle Berry in that Bond flick, chick from Underworld, Sue Storm's asses it's business as usual.
I didn't consider Kill Bill (I totally hated that flick, didn't see 2).
