I recall that Kate Winslet died from a do-it-yourself-abortion in Revolutionary Road, but that was a period piece set before the legalization of abortion. I suspect a good number of the deaths recorded here are from movies set in such a time period.

Really worth clicking the link and reading the full piece because there's some more good stuff there, like his/her thoughts on who should win Best Supporting Actor:

"To me, it was a hairdo movie"

"Her" is not original at all in the Ender's Game sequel, "Speaker for the Dead", Ender's closest companion and confidant is an Operating System and that was written in 1986

It's especially bad because Obama really is a wildly intelligent man. I love having a President who's intelligent and a damned grownup. Also, Michelle was a bonus.

We got a black president twice because of "white guilt"? Thanks, honkies!

I imagine the majority of Americans could cope with a woman president, but not a woman president that's Michelle Bachmann.

Why does anyone care what she thinks?

When your childhood babysitter was Christopher Hitchens, there's a very good chance you're going to be awesome.

Yes. She killed it:

Is there a video of that American Pie reading out there? Because I'd love to watch that. Also: She's amazing in Drinking Buddies, her character in that movie is exactly the kind of female role I'd like to see more of on screen - complex, strong, independent, but also flawed and vulnerable.

Its so strange to me how men cant get behind a project about women. As a man, Im constantly confused why men see women as a threat to their manhood.

Not a classic but a cult film for a generation.

Yeah, I went from "no feelings about Olivia Wilde whatsoever" to "many positive feelings about Olivia Wilde" in, oh, 40 seconds?

Women may not be going to the movies in drones because it's dangerous. I prefer a car when I head to the movies. Sometimes I walk, if it strikes* my fancy.

I'm loving all of these challenges to the Hollywood establishment. I only just saw the article on Erika Alexander calling folks out on their racism and then there's the article yesterday on Leslye Headland and all the discussion around how Orange is the New Black got made and the success of female or POC-led movies. …

She is so on point here. For someone so ridiculously smart and funny, I don't understand why she is with Jason Sudeikis, who I've heard is kind of a jerk.

Gender-swapped American Pie? I ... Would totally watch that! Do they film these live reads?

I have ... never heard Olivia Wilde speak as Olivia Wilde.

Nicely said Ms Wilde! This drives me nuts as a cinephile. The number one role for women in typical Hollywood Action/Drama/Comedy is: Fretting Wife/Girlfriend.
