And 100% percent of human existence is realized through the direction of women.
Can we please stop with the juvenile, competitive BS?

Really, Sweden?
With all the “Cultural Enrichment” that is going on in your country, THIS is what you’re worried about?

They were talking on Tim Conway’s show tonight about how the Academy has nominated very few people of color EVER. And yet they dare call Trump racist.
And directors and producers still enjoy the casting couch. Could anything be more sexist??

Swept Away. I haven’t thought of that movie for ages. So true. That was a great movie.

Well, hoping they have the “Brady Bunch Movie”, as that was directed by Betty Thomas (Hill Street’s Lucy Bates).

And if they dug a little deeper they’d find that 99.99% of all technology used in film making was invented by...men. Boohoo.

I never watch a movie until I determine the gender of the director.

The answer for this is for women to go out and make more movies. There is no reason to complain. Just go do it. Surely women can make movies without men leading them by the hand and doing everything for them.

96% is nothing. 100% are directed by directors, produced by producers. Talk about bias.

I'm female. I know those two movies you mention were well received, but I've never seen them or desire to. My ideas of a good chick flick: Master & Commander, , Sahara, Forbidden Planet, The Princess Bride. None of those films had a female director. What the heck is a "chick flick" anyway? To my mind, if I like it, since I'm a chick, then it's a chick flick. And why would a female director be a better director just because she's female? I could give a rat's hairy hind end about the director's sex/gender/plumbing.

Heck. I can’t think of a single female director.
Amy Heckerling directed Clueless.
Susan Seidelman directed Desperately Seeking Susan.
Those were pretty good.

That movie that Angelina Jolie directed was very good.
To: LydiaLong
Leni Riefenstahl directed “Triumph of The Will”.
Just saying.

They are hopeless, Nanny stated into puddles of mush. A 9/11 type event in Stockholm might get their attention for a week.

“I can’t think of a single female director.”
We like older movies, and Ida Lupino came to mind right away. She’s sort of a little cutie too in her younger days. Also a great actress.
