New Film Dimension

I’m Sorry, I have bad news for my loyal NFD friends HOWEVER Good news too

Phil — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:29:48 +0000

Hey folks. This is Phil, the owner and editor of NewFilmDimension.com. This is a sad and very difficult day for because I've thought long and hard on this, however, I've come to a decision:

I've decided New Film Dimension will go on without me, however, I'll still be owner and chief editor.

I'm sure those of you who are regular readers have noticed a sharp decline in posting from myself over the past couple of months and recently, the last two weeks. Although I've asked two wonderful writers to join the team, the overall maintenance of the site and being an editor has taken a toll, a toll of donating time for no money. That, my friends, is something that I can't continue. Money is life, and when in an economic recession backed by a socialist, statist, government administration who thinks spending money and introducing policy that will tax nearly 40% percent of our paychecks, is unexceptable and costly to the taxpayer. I am a taxpayer, and I can't afford that.

A couple of weeks ago, I began a hard endeavor into job hunting, something to add with my position at UPS. As you can imagine, there isn't much available for someone with out a doctorate and 30 years experience of whatever during an economic decline... I can't do much with that. Last week, I decided to stop writing only for a couple of days while I focused on finding work, then it lasted the week and it's still continuing. With several prospects, resumes sent, a dream of owning my own grass, among other things, blogging became unrealistic unless I was making some pocket change, at least. So I've come to the final conclusion to stop blogging as I want to devote all of my energies into working, making money, etc.

Taking over my duties starting next week will be NFD writer Chris, your new managing editor. You can read a note he sent just below.

Don't worry! Those of you who've come to this site, looking to read news, reviews, and what have you, it won't be the last time I'll write online. Whenever I get a chance, whenever I feel the NEED, I'll post here and there. Also, they'll come a time when I'll make a big return, a return backed up by something new and exciting meant for you and meant for building a new larger community. Details, I won't tell you. I'll fill you in one of these days - I have cool ideas floating around.

Anyhow, let me introduce you to your new awesome leader, Chris B.

Hey all, this is Chris B. (Or you can call me Soran, whichever you prefer), your friendly former co-administrator of NFD. I just wanted to say a little something about the changeover that's coming to New Film Dimension.

First off, I want to personally state that I'll miss Phil badly - his dedication and passion flowed through every entry he wrote here, and you can't replace a guy who has that much drive, you can only hope to succeed someone like that. I realize some of you are long-time fans of Phil's as well, and it's never easy hearing that your favorite blog's chief editor is going on a sabbatical - but I know a lot of you have also been very supportive of myself and Russ's work, and for that I thank you.

I also know that drive like Phil's doesn't just vanish, so he'll be back to the blogging game before you know it, and I bet myself and Russ will be working with him still when that time comes - at least I hope so.

All of you need to know, though, that myself, and my co-writers David A. and Russ F., are passionate about this site and the awesome content it has brought to us for so long, and we want to give you more of the same. As soon as I told them that Phil would be going away for a while, they leapt at the chance to keep the site alive. There will be changes, of course, because there always are, and we don't have the same resources that Phil does, but those changes will be kept to a minimum so you, the viewer, can stay happy in knowing that if you come here looking for insightful commentary, fresh news, and gorgeous celebrities, you shouldn't go anywhere else.

The porch light's still on, folks, we'll be right here waiting for you.

--Chris B.

Dollhouse has been removed from November Sweeps: On the fast road to cancellation?

Phil — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:25:53 +0000

The thing about Dollhouse and the FOX Network is nothing surprises me. I'm expecting the series to be canceled. I expected season 2 to be canceled the moment it was renewed. That being the case, I'm not even angry and in some ways I don't care. Sure, I love the series but FOX is so predictable with it's axe button that when Dollhouse does get canceled, the only thing I'll do is shrug my shoulders.

Not to long ago, the network announced the series will complete its 13 episode run and will indeed be aired in November, sweeps month. That, however, is now changed as the series has been yanked from November. Apparently, according to the new schedule, Dollhouse will be doubled up in December - showing both Summer Glau episodes on the same night, which for me is satisfying. After the new year, in January, Dollhouse will return to only one episode a week until its season is complete.

Thanks to The Futon Critic, here's the schedule:

Friday, October 23
8:00/7:00c - "Brothers"
8:30/7:30c - "'Til Death"
9:00/8:00c - "Dollhouse"

Friday, October 30
8:00/7:00c - "House: Broken" (Two-Hour Repeat)

Fridays (as of November 6)
8:00/7:00c - "House" (Repeat)
9:00/8:00c - "Bones" (Repeat)

Sundays (as of November
7:00/6:00c - "Brothers"
7:30/6:30c - (Various Programming)

Fridays (December 4-18)
8:00/7:00c - "Dollhouse"
9:00/8:00c - "Dollhouse"

All I can really say is I'll be waiting for its return in December. I really don't know what else to say and I'd rather not go into another rant about why I hate the FOX network and studio so much. What's the point, they'll continue to not learn anything and ruin franchises.

Summer Glau talks about her role on Dollhouse

Phil — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:25:19 +0000

All of us who are fans of Dollhouse and fans of Summer Glau are very excited for the new episodes upcoming. Bennett, Glau's character, makes her first appearance leading into a two-part episode, "The Public Eye" and "The Left Hand".

In an interview over at Zap2It.com, Glau makes a few quick comments about her character.

"I see Bennett as a sensitive, creative girl, who spends all of her time alone in a world of her own," she says. "She is a mad scientist who is searching for happiness. This is a challenging role in many ways. The most challenging thing is the dead arm!"

"She has a vendetta against Echo," she continues. "She knew her back when she was Caroline, and there was this horrible accident, and she has been waiting to reunite with her for quite some time - waiting to get my revenge."

I already like her character way more than Eliza Dushku's Echo, but that's because I'm admittedly bias - I'm obsessed with Summer.

She concludes, "I'm making he as creepy as it gets, but I asked Joss, 'Can I still be sexy?'".

Summer, you don't even have to try. You're amazing.

So that's it folks. Tune into Dollhouse; support Joss Whedon, Summer Glau, and Eliza Dushu because if you don't create a ratings change, the series will get canceled and all evidence is already pointing to that.

Set Footage: The A-Team - B.A. Baracus is Mr. T!

Phil — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:23:54 +0000

Entertainment Tonight has released a short video from a recent set visit they made to Vancouver for The A-Team starring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, and Jessica Biel.

The set visit, as you can tell from the video, is very short but we get a great look at "Rampage" Jackson's Mr. T haircut and what looks to be a little of his performance. I'll hold a little skeptism - it could be he was just playing for the camera's, however, it sounded and looked to cool to be a fake. This movie is gonna rock - I don't care if it's a remake; I'm excited.

Also, ComingSoon.net has set photos from what looks like a military camp, however, the photos don't show anything special.

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies sequel!!

Phil — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:50:53 +0000

Have you seen Superman/Batman: Public Enemies yet? If you haven't, I recommend it for any fan of the animated shows - you can also read my full review for S/B: Public Enemies.

The direct to DVD film from Warner Premiere has been very successful for the studio according to Mania.com. Wikipedia says that, "at the DVD sales chart, Superman/Batman: Pubic Enemies opened at #5, selling 197,626 in the first week for a revenue of $3,222,460. As of the second week, 256,700 units have been sold translating to $4,276,981 in revenue. This does not include rentals/Blu-ray sales."

The success of the film has promted Warner Premiere to begin thinking about a sequel. Mania says, "details are sketchy for Superman/Batman 2 but most likely it'll draw from one of the subsequent story lines from the Jeph Loeb comic series."

What that story is, I have no clue for the simple reason that I don't usually read comics so I don't know what is in the Jeph Loeb series. You can, however, read some of the history at Wikipedia but it's a long read so find the time - I haven't yet but I'd like to read more of this large entry later.

Mania has their opinion on what the next film should be after but as far as I'm concerned I'm just happy another film is on the way. If you haven't read my review (link above), I really enjoyed this film; it's very fun and it's a pleasure watching Superman and Batman beating the shit outta other superheroes. Hopefully, the sequel also means more Power Girl who's my new female superhero favorite

I'll update when more news comes out.

Video Game Movie News Extravaganza! (I love that word)

Chris B. — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:50:43 +0000

Again, at Slashfilm, we get the skinny on some of the upcoming video game movies coming up in the coming years.

Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter, apparently some muckety-mucks in the video-game movie ... game... talk about their upcoming films, Kane and Lynch, Just Cause, and Hitman 2.

First off, Bruce "McClane" Willis has signed up to play the character "Kane" in the Kane and Lynch movie. They say it's a great action movie premise and will be wonderful - we'll see.

The Just Cause project is moving forward as well, though very little is known about it other than it's lower-budget.

And Hitman 2 is being made, and penned by the Kane and Lynch writer, Kyle Ward. According to the producers, every time they have a script draft, they send it to Eidos and ask for notes. One wonders if they bothered doing that for Hitman 1, since that movie was nothing like the video games. Hitman sort of fell flat in the third act, which is not where you want your action movie to fall flat.

You can read the full article about their upcoming gaming projects here.

Side note - They also claim that Spy Hunter is getting off the ground again?! Spy Hunter, for those of you who don't know, is a movie based on a really old arcade game that was supposedly being made in the year 2003. Dwayne Johnson was signed up. Allow me to quote Wikipedia about the preproduction hell that has been this movie:

In the summer of 2003, Universal Pictures acquired the rights to the 1983 arcade game Spy Hunter from Midway Games. The following September, Universal signed actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to star in the film adaptation based on the game. Screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas were hired to write the screenplay, though a director had not been decided at the time. Spy Hunter was slated to begin its budgeted $90 million production in spring 2004 in time for a summer 2005 release. In January 2004, screenwriters Mark Swift and Damian Shannon replaced the original writing duo to rewrite the script, with production slated for June. By May, Universal Pictures acquired director John Woo to helm the project. In the same month, the previous screenwriters were replaced by screenwriter Zak Penn to rewrite the script once more. By August 2004, production had been delayed, pushing Spy Hunter back to be released in summer 2006. In April 2005, Penn was replaced by screenwriter Stuart Beattie to rewrite the script. By May 2005, however, director John Woo left the project due to scheduling conflicts. In August 2005, Dwayne Johnson said the film was still developing without a director. Pre-production work was underway with designs such as the morphing Interceptor vehicle driven by Alex Decker. Production was eventually halted for the time being, and Dwayne Johnson was detached from the project.

In May 2007, Paul W.S. Anderson was hired to replace Woo as the director. He will be writing a new script with another screenwriter. It is yet to be determined if Dwayne Johnson will return to the project.

What... the hell? Why bother making the film if you're going to fire every screenwriter you hire??! This movie has had as many pre-production woes as Ghostbusters 3 had a few years back when it was started, then stopped, then started, then stopped until, what, this summer? Yeah.

I've been following news of this movie for years now, and to see it suddenly dredged up was a bit of a startle. We'll see if they actually mean it this time.

Steampunk-ish Riese webseries nets several SG actors

Russ — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:50:33 +0000

Filmed in Vancouver and premiering online November 2, 'Riese' is a new fantasy series with a good many steampunk elements, and features a cast seemingly culled from the ranks of Stargate veterans.
The film's titular star is being played by Christine Chatelain; those of you who are Sanctuary fans will recognize her as Clara from the recent season premiere 2-parter. She is joined by Ben Cotton (Stargate Atlantis’s “Dr. Kavanagh”), Sharon Taylor (“Amelia Banks”), Ryan Robbins (“Ladon Radim”), and Patrick Gilmore (Stargate Universe’s “Dale Volker”).

Now, Phil wasn't too overly excited about this, but I'm not one to let other people's opinions of a series or movie influence my own (After all, I still think Dragonball Z is a wonderful series, just unnecessarily long), so I gave the trailer a shot. The premise is interesting: a decimated landscape populated by weird and scary things, being slowly taken over by a power-hungry tyrant, Empress Amara, who herself is being yanked like a puppet by a mysterious religious order known as the Sect. This is not a happy place, more of a crapsack world, until a wandering heroine with a wolf named Fenrir enters the scene. She's wanted by the Sect for being a heretic, and must watch her back while helping others so that a dagger dosen't end up in it. The description states that "As she flees, she’ll piece together her past and her destiny, in a conflict that will hold the fate of this world in the balance – and the once peaceful kingdom of Eleysia will be the battlefield." I'm a sucker for these sort of things, heroes with a destiny and the overthrowing of a tyrannical order.

As for the style of it, it honestly reminds me in some ways of Deadlands, an RPG a friend of mine has gone into lengthy detail about, though lacking the heavy magitek. Production-wise, it IS a web-series, it will not be able to match up to the standards of a well-funded TV or movie production, and it dosen't have to. The concept is enough to bring me in, and if the writing\acting prove solid I can easily forgive slightly lower production values. Ill be downloading this come November 2.

No Sparkles Here: The Wolfman trailer

Russ — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:49:56 +0000

Now this is a movie I can sink my teeth into (bad pun totally intended): young nobleman played by Benicio Del Toro goes back home after his brother disappears, only to discover there's a great deal more going on in the town of Blackmoor than he assumes: Werewolves! The trailer shows the victorian-ish era done remarkably well (though I wager historians will inevitably cry 'It wasnt like that!'), with excellent set designs and CG. Of particular note to me are the transformation sequences, they seem particularly well done; the actor convincingly displays the kind of horrendous pain having every single part of your body shifted into another shape while completely conscious, and the werewolf design looks damned threatening. Plus, we have Anthony Hopkins as a particularly malicious-looking estranged father, and that just makes me squee with evil glee, and Hugo Weaving as a disbelieving Scotland Yard inspector ('Lycanthropy is a virus...'); Im expecting a few deadpan humor moments from him, he's good at those.

"Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother...and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.

Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fiancee, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. he learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.

As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, as simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself... one he never imagined existed.

Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III) directs The Wolfman, and six-time Oscar winning special effects artist Rick Baker brings his design and makeup talents to transform Del Toro into the fearsome title character." [Universal]

Guggeheim leaves FlashForward, probably wont change things much

Russ — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:49:46 +0000

Marc Guggenheim, co-creator of "Eli Stone", is stepping down from the new hit series "FlashForward", leaving David Goyer (Of Blade and Batman franchise fame) to be the sole show-runner. ABC brought him in due to Goyer's limited experience with TV series; after getting his feet wet, so to speak, with the original 12 episode order he will be running things solo for the remaining 9 ordered episodes. Guggenheim meanwhile will be focusing on development per his deal with ABC studios.

Honestly, having never watched "Eli Stone", nor actually having heard of the man before, I'm not in a spectacular position to comment on whether this is a good move or not. A little reading indicates Guggenheim has a bit of a notorious reputation, handling series badly and having issues with writers; whether this is true or not is another story. Goyer however has my unabashed support; the man has written some of my favorite movies of the decade(The Blade Trilogy, Batman Begins\The Dark Knight), as well as having written Blade: The Series. If his writing talents extend to the showrunning realm, I have no doubts that FlashForward will be a long-running hit.

Go see the original article at The Hollywood Reporter.

TMNT Rights sold to Nickelodeon… Ugh

Chris B. — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:49:24 +0000

Okay... I know I'm one of the few, the happy few, who saw the original work done on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - the original comic was darkly satirical of real action movies. It was kind of funny, but not the hamfest that we got from later iterations of the damn thing. Well, news trickled down today from Slashfilm (apparently the only news source worth a damn today), that the rights to the TMNT property were sold today ... to Nickelodeon.

Yay. Just what we need. Call me crazy, but I was one of the people who enjoyed the TMNT CGI movie 2 years back, I thought it was interesting, somewhat deep, and damned entertaining. Plus it had Patrick Stewart as the villain, so how can you go wrong? (Answer: You can't!)

They say that the new film will be a hybrid-CGI film like Transformers, but honestly, if Nick's in charge of the rights, I really don't care anymore. Slashfilm suspects that the original creative team will stay in tact, but I'm dubious.

Crow Revamp has a Script

Chris B. — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:49:20 +0000

Image from LilithVampiriozah

Well, for over a year now, there've been rumors of an upcoming Crow remake, but nothing's come of them. Today, something came.

I'll preface the rest of this article by saying that The Crow is my favorite movie of all time. It's divinely directed, with design choices both subtle and gross that accent the darkness of this tale. The sets were sublime, carefully coated in muck and grime to look like Detroit. The model-work was great for the gothic city, the directing was never off even once, the acting was top notch despite being a low-budget film (I've never bought a speed addict more than I bought 'Skank'), and it was edited brilliantly despite the unfortunate loss of Brandon Lee during the film. They even altered the original ending because the first ending was considered in bad taste to the demise of Lee, and the alternate ending was better than the original ending they had planned. Sometimes, facing adversity makes us stronger, and this was certainly the case with this film. It was a masterpiece of modern fantasy/gothic fantasy, and I still love it to this day. If you haven't ever seen it, I can't recommend it strongly enough, if you like quasi-realistic dark, gothic tales about life, death, and love, it's worth your time.

That being said, I've watched all the other Crow films, and I have to say, City of Angels was one of the worst films EVER made (a nice counterpoint to the Crow being one of the best films ever made, if an unwanted one!), Salvation was pretty okay, and Wicked Prayer was absolutely hilarious. If you've never seen Wicked Prayer, and you like Robert Rodriguez style movies, grab a beer or three, and prepare to laugh at one of the funniest movies I've seen in years. What other film could possibly have Dennis Hopper star as the leader of a Satanic cult perform a wedding by stating: "I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU THE ANTI-CHRIST AND HIS SHORTY!" Oh my GOD that was so funny!

I'm digressing though. With the exception of Crow: Salvation, we really haven't gotten back to the roots of what makes The Crow awesome, since you can't ever reproduce the first film.

However, what do I find in the news today but Slashfilm has posted new news, and a question, about the Crow remake. The director of the first Blade movie, Stephen Norrington, has finished his polish on the Crow script and submitted it to Relativity Media. He claims that it will not be a remake, but infact a more spiritual successor to the first film. It will not feature Eric Draven - which is good, in my opinion - but someone new. Probably still a rock-and-roll star, though. When Norrington was asked last year about this project, he stated:

[the film will be] “realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style”

So, the question Slashfilm has asked, and I want to ask of you dear NFD readers is - those of you who know what the Crow is about, even the comic book if you've not seen the movie - who would you want to play the next undead rock and roller for the Crow reboot? Honestly, I'm sick of random middle-aged white men being the centerpiece, I'd like it to be a woman this time. I think Blade: The Series's Jill Wagner would make an excellent Crow, since that's basically what she was playing in Blade, only different.

New NFD Writer, Russ: Article writing Starscream? This is Bad Comedy

Russ — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:39:34 +0000

EDITORS NOTE: Hey folks, this is Phil. I'd like to welcome our new writer Russ, thank him and wish him well here at NFD. Both Russ and Chris will be apart in evolving NFD into something more - bigger and better than I've been able to do by myself. Russ has already written some great articles that I recommend to you now - get to reading it!

Hi! Russ Fox here, newest writer for NFD. I've been asked to write up a brief little introduction to myself. Well, lets see...I'm a 26yr old anime\video game\science fiction fan. Brief enough? Too brief? Ok, more.

I tend to watch either science fiction or fantasy, whatever the medium (anime, TV, movies, etc), as well as read the same genre. I'm not exactly biased against more realistic fiction, but if I wanted reality I'd just go outside again. My TV viewing at the moment consists of Heroes (SYLAR FTW!), FlashForward, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Smallville, Sanctuary (there are too many series beginning with S; some will simply have to go), and a couple others I'm sure are escaping me at this time.

Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Andromeda, Farscape, Buffy, Angel...I've seen them all. It's the geek in me. I'll give fair warning, I'm pretty opinionated: If I like something, I'll say so, if I don't I'll also say so, but with vehemence. Feel free to say I'm wrong, in fact I encourage it! Discussion is never a bad thing, unless it leads to guns drawn at 10 paces or something...

Peace Through Power kids, Im out!

New NFD Writer, Russ: Article writing Starscream? This is Bad Comedy

Is Stargate Universe sexist?

Phil — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:39:19 +0000

Most of the people that visit NFD are male, as a matter of fact. The reason is obvious; I post photos of very attractive celebrity women every day and like me, you readers have an appreciation for hotness.

If you're a fan of Stargate and you've been tuning in for the first three episodes of Stargate Universe that have already aired, you'll surely agree that last Friday's episode "Darkness" was distracting, for lack of a better term. Why was it distracting? If you look at the photo to the right, actress Julia Benson, to put it simply, has epic boobs! So yes, when she came on screen her assets removed me from the episode as I was focused on one thing, ... well, two things actually. The point being, as the question is asked and pointed out on Television Without Pity and io9.com, is Stargate Universe sexist?

Let me be very clear before I even get into the article; Normally, I don't give a damn about sexist claims on television shows because A) I love women and B) what's wrong with sexuality? Women are beautiful and most men appreciate the display of that beauty even if it's in a tank top. I know there are a lot of cliche's and sterotypes that scifi fans oogle over hot women in SF or fantasy shows - it's true, but if you didn't, more than likely you're hitting for the other team. Most people I know, who love beautiful women, usually look more towards the art, depth and story of a certain television series or film and as far as I'm concerned, folks who complain about female characters that aren't strong or are shown in a sexual light have their own personal issues that they need to deal with.

As io9.com says, Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan pointed the way to Television Without Pity as many people are angry and disappointed at the role of women on SGU. As a reader on TWP points out speaking about low ratings and male demos, "I really don't think its the Friday night graveyard per se - its the slavish worship of anything that brings in that male 18-34 demo no matter how offensive/stupid/blah blah blah it might be to anyone else who happens to watch regardless of what time its on. IMO this show would be just as boob oriented & generically clueless on how to write female characters on Wednesday night! Different networks do seem to have different philosophies on how aggressively they go after that demo..."

"They seemed astounded that women watched BSG and loved the female demo's for Warehouse 13 and yet for SGU we have - boob shots and shower shots and so far every women seems to be defined in same way by a male, either through sex in a closet, or needing some guy for comfort or apparently a prior affair," says another reader on TWP. "Oh except for Ming Na, our lesbian character who we've only briefly seen acting like a bitch before she left again. There should have been or should be a strong female character in every single episode and virtually all scenes but we get Eli and Rush and Young and Scott and of course dear, helpless Chloe. Honestly, in a weird way SGU seems very 'dated' in it's viewpoints and set ups for the female characters; I almost feel like I'm watching scifi from the 70's."

To read more of the SGU grips, visit Television Without Pity.

The argument is interesting to say the least. As I skimmed through the message board and read some of the arguments, I can say that I'm not buying most of it. In fact, I say to those people "GROW THE HELL UP!" All claims of sexism are ridiculous. The claims that the writers don't know how to write female characters is wrong as these are the same writers who wrote for Colonel Sam Carter (Amanda Tapping), Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) and Teyla Emmagan (Rachel Luttrell) who all had command over the male characters during their respective series run. Not for nothing, we're only three episodes in the series. What can you possibly claim at this point. By seasons end, if people feel the same way, than their arguments may be more valid, however, at this point all we saw was some minor supporting character in a tank top. People wouldn't be saying these things if Julia Benson had a small chest - the only reason they're angry is because her boobs are very noticeable and they jump out at the screen.

The actress, Benson, actually made a comment regarding this outburst in her first post at her new blog JuliaBensonOnline.com. "I play 2nd Lt. Vanessa James and for all the talk about my natural (and believe me they are 100%) assets I promise you that there is much more to my character," she said. "Who knew that a tank top could cause such a stir. LOL!! Our show is about people and people having sexuality. The creators are not exploiting it, they are exploring it. That is what writers, actors and directors do."

Right on Julia!

The one thing I do agree with is the little screen time some of the female characters do get, specifically Alaina Huffman's character Tamara Johansen. In the pilot, Johansen along with Rush was my favorite character because I felt a lot of good story telling ahead and a great performance from Huffman. No, there's no real reason behind that; she just jumped out at me as I saw a strength in her character. Again, however, as I said earlier, we're only three episodes in so we'll just have to wait and see what they do with her character.

I can go on about this subject but I think I've gotten my point across. As much as I'd like to see more screen time for the female characters, Huffman's Johansen specifically, I totally don't agree with any claims of sexism as this is a subject that comes out with a lot of new television shows. I don't buy any of it and as a matter of fact, even if the women weren't attractive the same amount of people would be watching the series not because of the people aren't tuning in because they feel the women aren't strong, it's because of the simple fact the series wasn't that impressive to begin with. Even still, I'll stick around hoping the story gets stronger and I'll even be looking out for more Julia Benson tank top shots because I appreciate her beauty.
