I wouldn’t say it automatically doesn’t appeal to us, I mean look at Mad Max. Women turned out for that movie in droves, and that’s a huge part of why it made so much money. But it’s true, as Hunger Games showed adding a Hemsworth never hurts :)

I get what you’re saying and in some instances I agree, however...if the statement they were intending to make was about the vulnerability of the human body (and again, I see that), it certainly comes across more as a statement about the vulnerability of the female body, considering that most of the bodies we see are

I saw the original and wasn’t that into it. From what I remember, it was mostly about creepy men being creepy, and if that’s what I want, I can just take the bus or read the paper or go to a park or something.

Most of it fits into the context of the story pretty well. Arguably there’s no reason for there to be this sheer quantity of female nudity, though, context or not. I liked the movie but as I was watching it, I was a bit shocked by just how much skin we were seeing. Just in terms of quantity, it’s a bit overwhelming,

Jordan Peele is doing LOVECRAFT COUNTRY—bought the rights a few months back. Enjoy. 😉

Having just watched the original Blade Runner for the first time last week, and then 2049 on Sunday, here’s the issue WITH SPOILERS.

The movies are beautifully shot with super imaginative costuming and set design, and some wonderful sci-fi background touches. But the genre is firmly Noir, which tends to put women in

Blink and you miss Gosling’s naked ass scooting through the background on the way to a shower ... it was pretty unequal. Like, if there’s a female AI companion named Joi, why doesn’t she have a male counterpart? I get that in the main story they’re both artificial people but when you’re on the street shouldn’t there

Beyond the nudity, other (perhaps subtle) forms of misogyny could have been perceived by some: for instance, the scene where Robin Wright is nearly throwing herself at Gosling in his apartment, and he casually rebuffs her, could be seen as a pretty trite (at least by the three women who I went with...not exactly a

Yup. The director said their first choice was to have Tilda Swinton be Pennywise. That would have been incredible.

I don’t believe it is. I’ve added it all up in my head. I’m counting his ai girlfriend as sexualized screentime because most of the time when we’re seeing her, she is being sexualized. Not all the time, because sometimes she’s honestly just talking to him, but a lot of the time. That alone is a lot of time. There’s

What doesn’t make sense is the way the director seems to have been trying to studiously avoid any nudity on Gosling’s part (including during the sex scene!) as if even a hint of clavicle would make the audience’s retinas burn off.

I so agree with you re: running time. When I was in undergrad, the vast majority of my professors believed that if you couldn’t say it in 7-10 pages, you didn’t know what the fuck you meant and needed to go back to the beginning. The same is true of films. If you want to tell a story that seriously requires more than

......We need MORE SCHLONG!......but as a scientific volunteer measuring dick size, I can tell you most guys don’t want their embarrassment made public......Small Dicks!...........

Bingo! I love science fiction, but there’s so much good shit out there that I’m actually interested in, and I don’t know why I should care about this. Now, if someone decides to adapt some Octavia Butler or N.K. Jemison, or make a movie of Lovecraft Country (not strictly sci-fi, but fandom plays a big role), sign me

There were only two scenes featuring it in this movie where I was like...really? What’s the point? (A scene where Gos is taking drone footage of giant statues of naked women, it’s like 3 minutes long and could have been cut entirely, and a scene where a “newborn” replicant is examined by her creator.) The others, I

I don’t know that it specifically doesn’t appeal to women, but as a woman who usually enjoys sci-fi and is pretty plugged into stuff, I just don’t care? Like, I don’t know what it’s about, I don’t know why I should care about these people? There’s basically nothing that’s drawing me to it. So, *shrug*, idk?

I loved that aspect of the movie. Sorry, you’re not that special after all! Poor Gos.

At the risk of being spoiler-y (warning! spoiler-y), the story ends up being pretty feminist and subverts a lot of the ‘white guy is the chosen one’ tropes. It also comes across that the civilization is in disarray partly because it doesn’t sufficiently see women and objectifies them too much. It was long but so

Alternative pitch “Millennials killed Blade Runner 2049: Dirty poor people continue to not spend their food money”.

But yes, the first film was also not a financial success, and to its credit in terms of being a sequel no one asked for, actually is a decent film (in terms of being a blade runner film, which is NOT

I saw it this weekend. It was fantastic. Also, it was chock-full of amazing female performances.
