The New York Times had an article today titled "Scientists Fear Visa Trouble Will Drive Foreign Students Away". It certainly caught my eye, being in academia and given our recent visa experiences in France. So I clicked on it. My first reaction was a bellow of laughter. The picture they used to pimp promote the article completely reminded me of my

Well, she's kinda hot, but really she should be wearing one of the "female scientist" outfits you see in anime: a labcoat with (apparently) nothing underneath, buttoned just low enough to expose miles and miles of cleavage. (Wire-rimmed glasses do usually feature as well, yes).

this is very bizarre, but I was trying to find a real-life photo from some movie, so I entered the phrase 'female scientist movie' into Google images and the third or fourth pic looked interesting because it featured a half naked man instead. Well, it was a screen grab from Zardoz, which we had just seen in the theater a week ago. And the site's description of the movie is actually pretty funny. My favorite part:

Somehow this movie is supposed to be an allegory for the utopian '60s liberalism, or an allegory for man's freedom of choice, or something heavy like that. But the 'civil war' is basically half a dozen transvestite Rennisance Fair refugees galloping around on horseback, yelling 'GET HIM!!' while Superhuman Mutant Bond uses his new superpowers to awaken the Apathetics from their slumber and turn them into sexual zombies whose massive orgy blocks the path of the vengeful horseriders. Which is of course totally absurd and disturbing, but somehow anticlimactic.

That would be fun to film with friends! I suppose that was more or less the premise of the movie ;)
