2) How can this be undone or remedied? The vast majority of people seem to okay with it - filmmakers, filmgoers, and most importantly the actresses themselves.


With a fan-editor mentality, I wonder if Blade 3 would have gotten one better review, made less more dollar, or sold one less DVD if the 90 second "Jessica Biel in the shower" sequence wasn't in it. I doubt it.

I like Biel. She has an ass that don't quit. But that shower sequence just made me feel dirty, and perhaps a bit bored. IMHO it added nothing to the film and wouldn't have been missed. In a film as mediocre as Blade 3, that's saying something.

On the other hand, Catherine Zeta-Jone's ass in "Entrapment" when it went under the lazer was the only thing that movie had going for it.
