Right. But offer Halle $500k and before she accepts or turns it down, she can create the buzz that her tits are worth $500k. And I told you how she could make it public and a positive (for her) even if she turned it down. The other examples I just used illustrated that the producers can't hope to completely control everything that goes on with a movie.

It's like arguing with SD. Julia Roberts refuses to take off her top. She is not seen as a prude. Are you suggesting that if we knew that she turned down extra money to show her tits that we would all then think she was a prude and boycott her movies? Because that's what it sounds like and it makes little to no sense.

Jesus Christ. Her willingness to take off her top for a part that
wasn't paying her an extra $500k (or maybe not even that much for the whole role), would show that she has dived into a role where she does things that are against her nature. Or even her image. That's part of why she got such great reviews. Because it was a character unlike the ones she usually plays. Doing nudity when she never does nudity for that part, would have
enhanced the Oscar buzz (that we both agree is already there since she won the Oscar). It's the same Hollywood bullshit as when an actor is praised for their bravery for appearing ugly in a movie.

No. The most intelligent thing has yet to be said. And here it is: Goodbye, sock.
