this is in fact the reason i hate the bond movies.  also most action movies: 
i am a strongly hetero background and really -don't- like a viewpoint where 
my gender is the object of sexual desire.  any movie where gurls are mostly 
eye-candy are really irritating to me.   and to lots of others women, too.

i don't think that's going to stop anyone from producing said movies/genres. 
instead, teh women who don't like it get called things like feminazis.  is 
there an equivilant male term?

ziviya, curious
