Really? Have you seen many of his decidedly diverse and often female-centric works?

Anecdotal, but yeah, I hear that all the time. People act like the test is only indication of a movie's worth, sometimes.

"I would argue that even a tiny bit of extra information beyond a pass/fail Bechdel grade could be incredibly helpful to viewers interested in supporting female-centric films."
This is what I was referencing. Regardless of extra information beyond the grade, my criteria for seeing a movie won't change, is all I am…

While I support the diversity, I am not going to see or not see a movie based on the Bechdel test.

Ironic that Abrams, who is known for his diverse casts, is getting such a hammering over this incomplete cast list.

You can pass it and have weak characters and fail it (Gravity) and have a strong female character.

You are right, but it is not just critics of the test who don't understand it, but supporters:

It's a joke, a meme.
It's not to be taken seriously.

Apology accepted.

I am really glad you don't know how to read.

No mention of 10,000 BC?

I am really glad everything is so heavily politicized through a social agenda.

Too many syllables. Rhyme is ruined.

JJ didn't take it. He is sitting right there.

Non-thinking meme-pushers.

It shocked him.
