Interesting point. There does seem to be an attempt to make rom-coms more accessible to both genders, even if it's not working and males don't want to see them.

Oooohhhhhh, I thought you were talking about Star Trek. Yeah, he probably could have thrown in a few new female characters into Star Wars.

I have seen it several times. I guess I see a lot of commercials so I'll admit I might remember it wrong, but I thought that he just asks her where the owner is? Which seems like a normal thing to ask an employee sitting at the counter. It seems like something you would ask even if you thought she was the owner, kind…

Or shopping, their periods, their siblings, their friends, their clothing, soap operas, their appearance, their hair, life in general, their shoes, etc.

I'll be honest and say that I will probably never understand the obsession with this kind of thing, but I definitely feel that if there is really a problem and you guys aren't just crazy (which I'll admit is a possibility), the problem would be the lack of diversity behind the camera rather than in front of it.

Because those aren't adaptions of existing properties maybe?

Those seem more geared towards women AND men though (I can't speak for Pretty Woman). Groundhog Day isn't female-centric at all.

Yeah, I went to Starbucks the other day to talk to the owner, and just assumed the barista owned the place. He corrected me, but at least I avoided being a dickhead by not asking him where the owner was!

I don't think that commercial has anything to do with her sex. It's just the way she's dressed, like the commercial version of a hippie. And the tablet allows average people that you wouldn't think of in that role to be business owners.

I agree, though it is kind of stupid when you have the small, sexy female fighting the giant buff dude, and her punches are just as effective. I think the main problem with this is that the women are hired to look hot, but good-looking women don't have the strength of good-looking men. This doesn't really happen that…

Leave It To Beaver ripped off Malcom In The Middle so bad.

Whoa, are you suggesting that a man who dresses up as a woman can't identify as such, and is just playing "dress up?"

Why though? It just seems to me like a female actress would look the least convincing, while the actual trans* women would look the most convincing, and the man would look somewhere in between. Just generalizing of course. I'll admit I don't get the obsession with this topic at all, but it especially escapes me why a…

Oh. I guess I was just pointing out the difference between a child actor situation and this situation. You're right that this guy isn't an a-list actor, I've never heard of him.

Well if you haven't seen any Harry Potter movies she hasn't been much else. I don't know if she's a-list but she's pretty popular I would say.

It's a slow day dude, we have to be outraged by something.

Very different. They were child actors. It's not like Emma Watson was an A-list 11 year old.

Laverne Cox? Are you delusional?

It's during the credits though so nobody will really care. But I was reminded of that Alamo Drafthouse commercial.

Since frats can afford to get big-name rappers to perform at their house, and throw parties worth tens of thousands of dollars, they could definitely afford to pay off a neighborhood, and I've seen it done before to some extent. Don't really know what would be immoral about it.
