Women in Hollywood?

Look, it's a male statute to congratulate all those male-centric movies in a male-dominated industry.

Ever since I became acutely aware of the male-centricity in most movies and TV shows, I've lost a lot of interest. Hollywood has somewhat lost its appeal. Because who wants to see another film about courageous, ass-kicking, world-saving men and sexy, emotional, often kind of crazy women? I mean, it's not that movies about men are not interesting or important. But it's that I'd like to see variety. I'd like for the male perspective not to be the default. I'd like to see women characters who are whole human beings, with thoughts, feelings, opinions, strengths, and weaknesses. 

Here is an apt deconstruction of what is going on in Hollywood. And it ain't pretty.

And while you've got your popcorn in front of a thrilling movie or episode, don't forget to see if it passes the Bechdel test! The results are often sad and surprising.
