Big man says "I'm boycotting dolls!": LOL

The third use of breasts: LOL

"We need to affirm the supremacy of GI Joe as an American icon": WTF?

Fixed, thanks for the note.

One of the coolest GI Joe toys ever.

This is exactly the way I used to play as a kid. I used to think GI Joe was the coolest thing on earth.

I am fascinated by guns. I know way more than the average person about guns. I know how they work and how to operate them. Yet I don't own a gun, and I don't plan on owning a gun.

Stop ruining my 80s/1980s childhood, Hollyweird! I think the new animated one would be bad too.

Sorry, This is not the Reboot. This is Footage From Abandoned Thundercats CGI Movie. You do not have to worry this project was killed. stamped flat, set on fire, and the ashes buried under Chernobyl. I believe this is the only surviving footage. The people who had come up with this are a couple of feet away from the ashes.

OK good, but what about that new animated series? Ugh.


I have no clue yet, That one came out of left field. Your going to see a lot of that from now on. They don't have any new ideas and rebooting old IP is still far cheaper then developing new ones. This way they get the old fan base just to see if its as good and destroys the rabid fan boys that scare away people. Transformers, Star Trek and GI joe proved it could work so its now the single most growing field in movies and TV. I've also heard there is a group looking to Reboot SDF Macross (Robotech), Star Blazers, Galaxy Rangers, Freakazoid and Mask. Sorry to say they are going to Squeeze the 80's dry and not use any KY.

I'm really surprised this never sifted. A hilarious bit - especially the part where GI Joe finds himself in the *water.

Things i noticed:

- Isn't it a bit sexist of her to assume that the robots in transformers weren't their equivalent of female?
- Ditto District 9, though we couldn't pronounce their names nor tell if they were conversing.
- I thought there was a bit in watchmen where older/younger silk spectre spoke about something other than a man - at least for a bit.
- The bourne supremacy has 2 named women talking to each other about old assassination missions and capturing a rogue assassin. As does the third one because it follows directly on from the second. Does this qualify as 'talking about a man'? If so, that is a very arbitrary line to be drawn.
- Isn't wall-e about robots?
- Austin Powers are films lampooning the objectifying of women/the wallflower stereotype.
- The wedding singer has the two named sisters talking about the degree of tongue acceptable at weddings. Again, i say that if you can bend the rules to say that is technically 'talking about a man', then you could equally bend them another way in this and other examples.
- ^ Such as X-men where there are many group conversations involving named women. I'm not an expert on those films so i can't say for sure if there's a clear conversation between 2 named women, but group convo's with multiple named women there are.
- Interview with a vampire has a conversation between the child vampire (who is of course a woman trapped in a child's body, this is a big point in the film) and the woman selected to be bitten to be her mother, both are named.

If you make a film based anywhere in history past 50-60 years ago, you're going to hit the culture factor. You can't just manufacture women into places where they wouldn't have been in a time where women were not considered equal. You may as well complain about racism in a film taking place when black people were used in slavery.
- Shawshank
- Pirates
- Gladiator

There are films with a very powerful and strong female protagonist battling against the odds and coming out on top. Some of these films don't even pass the test - how can this be when it's basically saying "Women can be better/stronger than men?"
- GI Jane (vs. GI Joe) - fights against all the odds and eventually shows people how wrong they were.
- Fifth element - she saves him, he saves her, she saves the planet?
- Alien 3
- Tomb Raider
- Arguably 'Wanted'

^ It almost feels like she's mocking her own theory/criticism by naming these films. "Hey look everyone, even films with a super-strong female character kicking everyone's ass and showing how women aren't wallflowers........................is perpetuating the stereotype that women are submissive wallflowers!"

It's almost like naming examples of where the theory fails to be true. Which ...renders the theory useless?

I do think there's a point to be made, but i don't think it's as bad as they want to believe it is, and i certainly don't think that this is demonstrated by the films listed. Show films like pulp fiction, se7en, etc. even fight club. Those convince me. The others make me think "I don't think these people will be happy until we make 2 versions of every film with the sexes mirror'd."

If they can't value the fifth element, alien and tomb raider as films that fight against a stereotype, when exactly are they going to be happy?
