It might have been that Dushku reportedly is trying to change her image - she had Kevin Smith tone down the character she played in "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back" and even remove his intended homosexuality for character.
Dude.
That is
so
depressing. What's with that? I mean, I could understand her wanting to try trading less upon her sexuality - wanting to be taken more seriously, avoid typecasting, get a wider range of roles blah blah blah. I could understand that. But saying you won't play a character 'cause they're gay? That you've got to het them up?
I mean, hell, Faith was never expressly, unambiguously, textually gay. Implicit as hell that she wasn't stick shift only, but it's not like Dushku was playing Tara or Kennedy or Willow. So it's not a case of trying to avoid typecasting, surely? wtf?
Fay - I really expect it is more what Trudy said.
It was side view. If she had not been wearing a bra we would have had nippelage. Not allowed on stupid puritanical American broadcast TV.
t On Edit
Sorry Trudy -name changed.
Hee, Typo-- could you change my name?
Or MAYBE she's droopy. Could happen.
You know, when working on a set, they can easily get any view they want by the way they position the cameras and the actors.
The droopy theory is very nice for the schadenfreude.
It beats the slidey factor, but since she wasn't on her back in any shots that isn't really a possibility.
Fay - I really expect it is more what ......said.
Gar, what she said had nothing to do with the Jay and Silent Bob movie.
My post responded to the comments about the Kevin Smith movie and the assertion that Eliza requested that the sexual orientation of her character in the movie be altered. That's what I was talking about. Not about nipples or lack thereof in any episode of Buffy. I'm sorry that I didn't express myself clearly enough. I remain surprised and disappointed that Eliza would object to playing a dyke.
It's not tragic, really.
I gotta say, my first encounter with the slidey factor was something of a shock.
Well, I think it ended up being a good choice to have her character be straight, else the movie carried a message of gay girls are bad, but can be redeemed through the love of a man which is highly offensive. So I fanwank that that's the reason Dushku wanted the change.
And if they had to have a bra in that scene, why not let Wood wear it? It'd add some quick depth to the character, and it's not like they were currently worried about being canceled.
