"It's knockerin' time"

Because if I don't blog about Jessica Alba's cleavage, the terrorists have won.

Marvel and 20th Century Fox are apparently hoping America's love affair with boobs will overcome the poor advance word for Fantastic Four.

Take a look at this hastily assembled side-by-side comparison of the evolution of Susan Storm's decolletage. The original character poster is on the left, the main poster representation of the character is in the center, and the version that was released this week (and the one I saw hanging in the theater at the screening Tuesday night) is on the far right:

Given the reviews thus far (21% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes), expect the naked version to hit theaters next week.

Hey! Maybe if I expose myself to a big cloud of space radiation, I could have big boobs! NASA, here I come!

Ugh. I'm sorry, but Sue Storm, the 'mom' of the Marvel U, should never have been played by a sultry hottie stripper type. That was the first clue I had that these people were going to shit all over the concept of the Fantastic Four.

And don't even get me started about 'Electro-Klytus' Dr. Doom....

In the hopes that this prediction: Given the reviews thus far (21% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes), expect the naked version to hit theaters next week,
comes true, I have skeedaddled on over to rotten tomatoes and posted my "non-fresh" rating.

Who cares if she's naked if she's invisible? that's no good for anybody!

I would like to coin a word for this type of gratuitous nudity: Alba-core.

HWRNMNBSOL,

Obviously, then, all three of these images would be Alba-soft-core.

No! I had high hopes for that flick. What a bummer.

It's still better than the Corman version, isn't it?

I wonder if the cold reception will make them can the Nicolas Cage Ghost Rider flick...

It's still better than the Corman version, isn't it?

Yes and no. The F/X are better in the new version, but I'm not sure the acting is.
