ALSO, not to fill up your friends page with a million of my posts but whats up with all these movies about embarrassingly pathetic women? I saw 300 ads in the past year for movies that make girls seem like idiots who don't know anything about relationships. Like last night I saw an ad for ALL ABOUT STEVE. Or what about THE UGLY TRUTH.

Seriously? What happened to competent female protagonists? First it was Twilight, now it's fucking RomComs. I long for the days of Lara Croft, at least that bitch had guns.

They're all one dimensional piles of extra-emotional drivel, or they're "enlightened, intelligent women" who "like politics" and "don't need a man" but find out by the end of the film that "love was what they needed all along". OR (and this is the worst) they're "clumsy". I really hate that trope. That is my least favorite fucking trope, when a screenwriter decides to make his female protagonist accessible by making her clumsy.
Seriously, movies about friends and dresses and cake are nice and everything and they're definitely, you know, good times. And movies about relationships are gonna happen. But I am bored of "real women", I want some interesting women. Women who...I don't know, fix cars, or go to firing ranges, or like baking weird shit, or love Wolverine, or appreciate Charlie Chaplin. Women who have legitimate quirks and aren't just "clumsy".
Or at least a woman who understands men. Most women I've met understand men to some extent, or at least they think they do; they aren't ass-end-up stupid. And even if the general viewing audience is ass-end-up stupid, why should that dictate the intelligence level of the protagonist?
...wow sorry.
