I first saw Attack of the Clones in the theater and pretty much though it was a dud - although still an improvent to Episode 1. One of the highlights for me, sadly (I wish I could have had more positve things to say about the movie itself), was Natalie Portman in that tight white outfit. I remember quite distictly a few shots in the movie where her nipples were showing through the outfit.
I recently watched the DVD and was disappointed to discover that her nips seem to be constantly strategically covered by a seam in her outfit.
Did anyone else notice this discrepancy? Did they digitally remove her perkiness, or was I just hallucinating in the theater? Or, better yet, was I just not paying close enough attention to the DVD?
Oh, no. You weren’t hallucinating. They were there in all their royal nippiness on the big screen, proving that Tatooine is much colder than we were led to believe. I’ve not watched my DVD of it yet though. I’ll be mad if they were digitally erased. Lucas has already screwed up the saga; he could at least leave in the two best parts of the movie.
Ok, now that we’ve verified that my mammary wasn’t failing me about what I saw in the theater, can we get any witnesses to what the bare facts are on the DVD?
In a mostly unrelated note, if you have the Onion page-a-day calendar, today’s article is “Dressing Your Dog as Boba Fett is Something You Have to Devote a Weekend To”.
When I finally got around to seeing AOTC on the big screen, someone, knowing my crush on Natalie, told me to keep an eye out for her nipples. By the time the scenes in question came around, I was so incredibly, mind-numbingly bored by the film itself, that all I was pretty much doing was keeping a close eye for a glimpse. Not that I needed an excuse; as I said, I’ve got a thing for her anyway. But, my point is, I was actively watching for it. And I didn’t see so much as a hint of a one. It was a sad day, indeed.
I should note, that I saw it digitally projected. Perhaps he covered it up on the digital versions (which would have been easier than doing it on the film print versions, so this is a possibility)? Those of you who saw it, do you happen to remember if you saw a digital print or a film print?
I don’t know about the DVD, but they made a great decision when the action figure was designed to acurately match the finer points of the escape scene.
Check this link… not the best picture, but I’ve seen this one in stores, look closely.
Okay, who gave Joe Bob Briggs an internet account?
“Attack of the Clones: No breasts, three vehicle chases, a gazillion beasts, no blood. Extra credit for not having a plot to get in the way of the movie, but I gotta take away half a star on account of it being geeky nerd junk. One and a half stars, pretty good for indoor bullstuff. Joe Bob says check it out.”
Yep, I remember them on the big screen – most prominently in the ship on Tattooine, before they went to Geonossis to rescue Obi-Wan. I picked up the DVD, but haven’t re-watched it all yet, so I wasn’t aware of the supposed altering of that scene. I’ll be sad if it’s true… (But still really like that white just-became-a-cutoff outfit in the arena!)
