Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 SL is a typical Spielberg male-dominated film with women in minor supporting roles as sex objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because she held back so much information from the crew ... Based on her appearance, I think she's better suited to work for President Snow.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 On 8.4.2018 at 3:37 AM, Marian Schedenig said: Considering the fact that women are still a minority in film casting, and still haven't achieved equal status in society, I''d be fine with the balance tipping for a while to a larger number of women rather than men. Women have a right to equal opportunities, not to equal outcomes. Equalization of the cast (or equalization anywhere) is not, nor has it ever been, an ideal in the western world. That’s the point. It makes sense that an action film would, usually, have a predominantly male cast. It’s a masculine genre with characters that are usually required to be very masculine themselves. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 There's plenty of Star Trek in TLJ already! I can bring it up.

Matt C 454 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The Lure It's definitely unique and original... but the pacing is off and it never really gels narratively. The songs grind the film to a halt or incorporated at strange intervals. Certainly the first rock opera with homicidal mermaids I've seen. 16 minutes ago, Margo Channing said: Trading Places Very clever movie. Very un-PC too, the kids today would love it.
