I remain still impressed with Deadwood. Cause, on the one hand, I thought I was gonna be pissed off that most of the women were hookers. But they were fully realized and made their own choices as much as they could in the era. And the interaction between Trixie and Alma, being about kicking morphine pass the Bechdel test, though Swergin of course does not.

I used to put on red lipstick and combat boots to write papers in college. It helped. Granted, it was the early 90s, so combat boots were not unusual footwear.

Yes, there should be women in action movies. Yes, I'm sleeping with someone on that team inbetween shooting motherfuckers. Hell, I'll sleep with all of them.

I am ita. IDK, I think Aisha beats the heck out of pretty much any woman in any James Bond movie, like, EVER. ::waits for counterexample::

Michelle Yeoh?

Which one was she in? I haven't seen the last few. I'll take Aisha over Christmas Jones, for example.

I remarked, when I was watching Deadwood, that it had more fully-characterized women with agency in it than Supernatural, even though it was set at a time when women couldn't own property or vote. And when the virgin/whore dichotomy was pretty strictly enforced.

Man, I loved Trixie. And Jane. And Jewel. All of 'em, really--they were real.

The World Is Not Enough

Crouching Tigers.

Crouching Tigers.

There weren't any Bond women in that.

What I love about the Alien movies is that Ripley is badass and no one is surprised. I'm beginning to feel like a crotchety old woman about sex scenes that do not have anything to do with the action. I find myself muttering, "Shouldn't you be boarding up more windows or checking the ammo? You can't wait until you get somewhere safer?"
