Ranting with Big Papa

So, I recently saw the movie titled, 'The Island'. It's a Sci-Fi romp through the future where well to do can purchase a 'clone' as life insurance so that they can replace damaged 'body parts' should the need arise. Naturally, these clones aren't supposed to be alive or conscience, as that would be unethical. But who cares... It's the furture and rich people don't have ethics, right?

The movie was ok, but one of its stars is a really honey... Scarlett Johansson... I know that DJ is going to slap me down and claim 'That bitch is mine!', but com'on share a little love with a brother. She's a babe. She's a robo babe. She's babe-a-licious! Shwing! Tent pole!

But I digress..

An interesting article was posted today on a celebrity rag that noted that she wanted to 'go naked' in one of the scenes, however,director Michael Bay didn't want to sacrifice the movies PG-13 rating and wouldn't let her disrobe completely.

Here is where I think we need to listen to the artists. They work hard to create the characters they are presented with and I think that if Scarlett Johansson thinks she should do the scene nude, then who the hell is Michael Bay to say no! She is one of the up and coming actors of the day and I think that, while she's only 21 years old, she has the right to make some artistic decisions relating to her characters.

Scarlett, I'm in your corner honey. I got your back! If you think you need to take it off for the sake of the story, then I as a patron of cinema, support you 100 percent!

You go (naked) girl!
