Right. Although, there are plenty of female directors, producers, and writers, and would-be movie executives. They're just not getting hired or funded by the studios.

SERIOUSLY. I have neither interest in nor preoccupation with the covers of Vogue* or with Kimye, but surely they deserve it more than, say, Kate Bosworth? I mean, I love Blue Crush as much as the next wannabe lady surfer, but both Kim and Kanye alone seem to me to have more relevancy to mass fashion than Bosworth. But…
That sums it up! Can we replace the American flag with it, if but for a day?
Love it. Thank you for those great examples! Lauren Socha is definitely not the Hollywood type, but I think she is really beautiful. Interestingly (or not), her brother, Michael Socha, now plays a rather dashing character on the popular American fantasy series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
No prob! I was glad to read more examples. Hope you feel better soon!! :)
Agreed! Actually, I was arguing the same thing: that there is more "looks" diversity in the UK, and that a lot of starring actresses on UK programs would not be cast in the US. (Hence my examples above.)
Disgusting! The sexist/ageist comments Anna Maxwell Martin received from those UK viewers are vile and certainly highlight a sexism problem in British society. Nevertheless, she is another example of an unconventionally attractive/un-Hollywood-beautiful actress who would be unlikely to play a female lead on an…
Me, too! Agreed. Check out, South Riding, too, if you haven't already! (See my comment above.)
Wow. (Glad you're okay!) According the Wikipedia article, it potentiates opioids and reduces some side-effects (probably nausea?), and is used in making the recreational drug "Purple Drank," which is a combination of Promethazine and Codeine cough syrup, which is also by prescription only in the U.S. (Apparently…
SERIOUSLY. I miss thinking that all my tween/teenage idols were awesome, smart, compassionate, progressive people.
Gross and stupid. Why do people feel like it's appropriate and acceptable to comment and speculate on other people's gender (and medical issues)? There is just such a profound lack of boundaries there that is really perverse.
Now playing
God, that is ridiculous. LOVE Anna Maxwell Martin and Bletchley Circle, too! (But have yet to see Philomena.)
Hmmm. I think it is empowering in the sense that women have (or always should have) ultimate ownership of their own bodies (which is why I found the play Lysistrata empowering when I first read it as a girl). However, there does exist the stereotype that woman generally use "sex as a weapon," as Rebecca pointed out,…
+ 1 million for the Lysistrata reference!
