No room for older XX chromosomes in today's culture?? Series, Part III
"The elephant in the room is that roles or women haven’t been as vast and many as the men have," Bullock said. "But I do feel that there is a definite shift that has happened. In the end it's about making money, and if studios see that a female can bring in audiences, they're going to make movies with that person, and hopefully that will become the norm."

Yay for Alfonzo and Sandra!
While Sandra Bullock is almost an "older" woman, being a year from the big "50" and in Hollywood, certainly not "lead" material! In fact, she is 14-15 years ove the magical 35 year old shelf date of most women.
And to have to defend using a woman as a lead in 2013!
It still boggles me as to how backwards Hollywood is.

But this and Guillermo Del Toro's careful characterization of a woman co-lead in Pacific Rim, makes me join Ms. Bullock in being hopefullish.
