Stunt Breasts
This is either a really good idea or a really stupid idea.
CGI technology is at a point in movies where faces can be digitally added to stunt bodies. We saw this in the Wayans movie, Little Man, and in the Star Wars prequels, where Christopher Lee's face was added to the body of his stunt double to accomplish Count Doku's fight sequences.
Recently I watched Knocked Up for a second time, and it got me to thinking. I noticed that Katherine Heigl was wearing a bra during the sex scenes. In real life, nobody wears a bra during sex unless they are having sex in public. If you are having intercourse with someone in a private scenario like a bedroom, you are well beyond the point of being too bashful to reveal your nipples.*
So if they can digitally add faces to stunt bodies, why can't they digitally add stunt breasts to actresses during sex scenes? Katherine Heigl could have left her bra on during filming, and then stunts breasts could have been added during post-production. Heigl could still feel comfortable filming the scene, while the movie ended up being more believable.
* There are probably women who fetishize wearing bras, and men who fetishize women wearing bras. And I imagine there are a few women out there who leave their bras on just to make their sex life seem more cinematic.

Bad Poetry Is What I Need
It's been a long time since I blogged.
But now I've been blogging again.
It's been a long time
since I blogged.
It's been since way back when.

Special Blog Update For "Enjoy_Every_Sandwich" blogger!!!
This is in reply to a comment left at my last update.
First, thank you very much for leaving a comment on my weblog! You are first person who isn't me to leave a comment on my blog, only 3 months after my last update entry and only 9 months since the first ever post! To celebrate you typing words and pressing the "Publish Your Comment" button, I am going to be making this special blog post just for you!!!!
To answer your question: I enjoy Body Rock with an equal mix of 50% Irony and 50% Sincerity.
The Ironic enjoyment comes from the bad acting, bad script, cliche plot and miscast lead. Chilly's opening scene at the unemployment office has to be seen to be experienced. "I like to look fresshhhh..."
The Sincere enjoyment comes from the look, feel and sound of the 1980s hip-hop breakdancing scene; or at least, Hollywood's idealized version thereof. Some of the direction is OK, too: the first dance sequence is really quite good, and the colours in the movie are very bright and stimulating.
Also worth mentioning is the background of NYC skyscrapers. Especially nostalgic are the scenes of Chilly and Magick dancing at the World Trade Center. Most new movies are filmed in the unremarkable locations of Toronto and Vancouver.
I noticed you're from a nearby metropolitan area. I assume you must have discovered Body Rock at a Wal-Mart DVD bin for $5? I believe it is now out-of-print, so I regard my official copy as a collector's item.
Don't forget to study hard as a student of journalism. Check all your facts from 3 different credible sources (e.g., Wikipedia, the Internet and YouTube comments). Soon you will be out there writing the first draft of history. Come to think of it, you already are!

Giga Update
Whenever I am away from the Blog, I think of cool things to write. But as soon as I sit in front of the Blog inpu box, I can't think of anything interesting to tell to you. Therefore, this is all you get.
I will try to accompany myself with a paper-form idea-capturing device as a blog pre-write "cache" for those times when I am not at one of these idea-communicating yet idea-suppressing computer peripherals.
