Rene Toney quite ironically in my opinion, for me is one of the ugliest women I have ever seen in FBB, because she looks like a man in drag which is quite often what the naysayers of FBB say.  Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

That's one way of looking at it, but being as I'm currently working with a major film production company at the moment I can answer some of those nagging questions and dispell some myths about hollywood.  It won't necessarily paint a better picture but it will give a clearer understanding on how things work.

First, and this must be made clear to everyone.

Hollywood is a business, anyone who thinks that going into this business for sharing their "movie vision" is completely in la la la, no studio will buy it unless there is an audience for it.  It's all about making a profit, Hollywood is not about creativity, it is about reading current trends, knowing when to produce a movie that fits the current flavors of the month, and then distributing it before the craze dies out.

What's popular now?  The war in Iraq; so what movies are we seeing that are being released?  The Kingdom, Rendition, and probably a few others come to mind.

But at the same time that's not to say Hollywood doesn't take risks.  Lord of the Rings was a HUGE risk and gamble which thankfully paid off.  You can't say that Hollywood doesn't take risks, they do but only when they know they have a stellar project on their hands which can surely net profit.

You also shouldn't be annoyed or ticked off at Hollywood for being so business centric, after all if you want blockbuster titles with a huge special effects budget to put your brain on hold for a bit, you need it to be a movie that is going to sell well.

Independent movies allow the director/producer to follow his vision to the letter.  To completely create a movie that is just how they have imagined it, but unless their vision coincides with what the audience wants to buy none of the major studios will ever pick it up.  It's not that they don't want the movie, it's just that for the amount of effort it will take to market the movie, they don't want to waste those 6-12 months advertising it only to find out that it becomes a total flop, and there are numerous flops out there you can name.

Sure there will be tons of copy cat movies out there, that's because the studios are trying to replicate that formula so that they can get more cash flow.  The more surplus cash a studio or company has the more room there is to "experiment" with newer ideas that are a bit more out there, because then they don't need to rely on that movie to stay in the black.

Now as for the whole leading lady thing, the exec is most likely thinking that their probability of having a million dollar baby oscar winner is pretty slim to none and they would be better off sticking with the male leads in order for them to continue to have success.  It's a very narrow minded view but when you need to keep a major company like Warner Bros in the black you sometimes have to make some really difficult decisions.  He could be possibly pushing a personal agenda that he doesn't like leading ladies, but I think he's just playing it safe so that they can still continue to make more and more movies.

Dave, The Brave One starring Jodie Foster actually got good reviews, so it wasn't necessarily a bad movie.  Not sure about the other ones yet but I know the Brave one was something people were interested in watching.

Er…

She looks like a man and talks like a man when she gets bigger.  Not so sure I'm digging that.

Dave the barbarian, hell just type in female muscle growth on Youtube and the clip should pop up.

Digital Amaz0ns is a legit site, with EXTREMELY high quality 3d modelling and animation.  However, he doesn't really do FMG; though he IS working on an FMG project now it's not something he does often.  But he knows how to animate and make the girls look real, so it's worth the money.

Mandy Moore would be a great wonder woman, excellent height, good body for more muscle, and a very beautiful face.  I luvs Mandy.

I think Head on is probably the worst of all time, it doesn't even tell you what the f*** it's for!

[TC2]

Hmm… she actually looks a little young but because of her cheekbones she looks like she could be a potential Diana.  Don't know about her acting ability as I've never seen the show but she seems promising.

[TC2]

Looking at that picture, no I wouldn't like her as wonderwoman at all.  She just doesn't seem right acting or face wise to be for the role of Wonder Woman, there are better candidates out there than Ms. Biel.
