Of course, where the rubber meets the road is at the box office, and online sales, clothing, and so forth. I am not worried about trends in movies; I just don't watch the ones that I don't like for whatever reason.
I'm just tired of Hollywood rehashing the sos. Too many sequels, I would like to see more original content, be it male or female leads.
There's also: Cathy's Clown

An English style Balkan with cigar leaf, Turkish, 2 Virginias, Black Cavendish, Latakia, and Perique. which combine to create a tasty medium strength blend where the components almost fight for dominance.

So, you're gonna watch someone's flight of fantasy, a movie, and judge it through your life experiences, logic, and etc. You really need to do something more constructive with all of your free time.
George Lucas killed star wars in the first place. There was the same freak outs over Mad Max fury road, and I thought it was a very good movie.
Hollywood already pushed every boundary, it's called the 80's.

Fishingandpipes....pretty much nailed it, who cares.
But you know it's funny as hell to see who's a bitch on these forums and who's not. You still have to wonder, two major female characters, in two back to back SW movies. I don't know......
Yea, I came to that conclusion too, Lucas totally ruined Star Wars A New Hope. :clap:

I guess my point is, it really doesn't matter if they're female or not, and the fact that people get upset when females are cast in roles like this is probably a good reason to emphasize doing so - to normalize it.
I don't particularly see an agenda, the fact that it's weird for people to see females in leading roles like this is weird in and of itself and speaks to how women have been treated in film. It really shouldn't be a thing that brings out the torches, but it does, time and again, and that's a problem. Many Bothans can still die to get the plans!
Ghostbusters may be another topic but, whatever. Bill Murray approved, good enough for me.
And Lucas stumbled across a good thing and required a lot of people smarter than he was to get the original trilogy as good as it was. No one thought it was going to be a hit. Then he gets free reign and makes 1-3, some of the worst films ever put to celluloid and considers himself a holier-than-thou auteur. He's a dud. He just got surrounded by a lot of smart people for the first trilogy.

Jackson put a lot of extra estrogen in the LOTR, but it worked well

Fishingandpipes, it may or may not be a fad, agenda, or nothing at all. It's movies, you like'em or you don't. You like the actors or not. Just opening a discussion that's been going on around here, in reality-ville and thought I'd bring it to the threads. Plus, of course, I'm going to be controversial about it, go ahead and separate the namby pamby PC cult lust from the individuals in the house.
Congratulations if you got offended, We now know you support the FDA shenanigans. :crazy:

An exceptional actress... she makes the Alien series believable.
Quite insightful. But if they are turning to these tired morality plays, it may indicate that they lack direction or a story to tell.
Sad, really, since many of these series are really good! Dr. No will always be a classic for me.
Wouldn't princess leigh be considered a major character in all 3 good star wars movies though?

Every story ever told has a point of view and a point to make.
Talk about PC! "Nanny state" blah blah blah, "sheeple" blah, blah, blah. And endless stream of stale clichéd vocabulary revealing a lack of the ability to think independently, or perhaps to think at all, as the same words get used over and over and over and over and over...
And then there's all that labeling, kind of like a warped version of the 1950's when people shouted "Pinko!" or "Fellow Traveler" or "Fifth columnist" with a mindless enthusiasm born of a fear of the different.
This is just a different version of PC, a different flavor of Kool-Aid. It's a form of auto-speak.
It's not provocative. It's not intelligent or thoughtful. It's boring.
