As we all know, women weren't allowed to appear in motion pictures until Ghostbusters (2016). Before then, all female roles in film were portrayed by men in drag, elaborate puppets, or, more recently, CGI avatars. But now that the gender barrier has been shattered, anything goes. Women can play superheroes, cops, and even doctors. And get this: Now there's even a woman in a movie about robots from the future trying to wipe out humanity!
Matt Donnelly at Variety talked to Terminator: Dark Fate director Tim Miller:

Haven’t spent one cent on Hollyweird for years.
As an aside, I think it amusing that OJ Simpson had been considered for the role of Terminator in T1, but James Cameron dismissed the idea saying that Simpson would not make a convincing killer.
” I guess us “misogynisis” never heard of Linda Hamilton, Lena Heady, and Summer Glau”
Or going back 40 years Sigourney Weaver in the Aliens franchise.
Perhaps because I've read a little history, and perhaps because it fits the people involved and their tactics, the term 'woke' has always reminded me of a similar expression, used for similar political purposes:
"Deutschland Erwache!"
Well that and having been married to James Cameron which ended in a $50 million divorce settlement in 1999.
Never heard of Katharine Hepburn or Bette Davis, either.
Linda Hamilton was a Boss Lady in Terminator 2.
Loved her in that.
Really?! Who the hell is Sheldon Cooper?!
As far as I know the term began with the Left, with the race ideology of the Left. Among those advocating the perpetual victimhood of the non-whites (blacks in particular) in particular.
That said I have noticed people who subscribe to the exact same race theory that predates the term, which has been constant in its main features since well before the KKK but is simply directed differently by different groups a different times.
Unless someone agrees with the underlying racist ideology, essentially that people can and should be judged by the color of their skin etc, I would discourage using the term woke because it seems to come with a crapload of bad baggage that “red-pilling” simply does not have.
My take:
You can’t really be woke without believing in generational, racial conspiracies.
Linda Carter as Wonder Woman on TV.
Lyndsey Wagner as the Bionic Woman.
... and so forth.
yeah probably - i didn’t read the article, just the captions and twittr stuff- i probably shoudla found another source for the article
Great parody! LOL!
That’s the worst written article I have ever read.........My English teacher would have flunked me then my dad would have whipped me if I ever wrote something like that.
It is amazing how many old movies I am now enjoying every since Hollywood fell off a cliff into an abyss of political correctness and overt conservative hatred. I’m not talking about 40s film noir and such staple fare I’ve always loved. I’m talking about movies from the 80s and 90s I never would have bothered watchin at the time, but compared to the rancid putrid tripe being put out today (really since about 2000-2005), I find a lot of those 30-40 year old movies really watchable. Somehow, I missed plenty of 70s movies as well. So thankfully I still have a plentiful stream of movies new to me.
I probably like about 1 in 40-50 movies made today, and love maybe 1 in 100-250 movies made today. It is all so PC and crude with writing being a non-existent afterthought subordinated to mindless action and purposeless CGI. And don’t even get me started on the millions of movies with either undead like zombies and vampires, or comic book characters. Almost all of them are a complete waste of time.
One thing that really pisses me off is that horror movies still seem to be REALLY well made today. I dislike that genre so that is worthless to me, but when NOTHING is on, I have watched the occasional horror movie, and they have generally had very good writing and stories.
Why the BLEEP can’t they do that for comedies, dramas, and action films, I just don’t know.
Hollywood died almost 20 years ago. Thank goodness I still have a bunch of 70s, 80s, and 90s B movies to watch. No they aren’t great movies, but at least they are watchable.
A socially disabled TV character who can't understand sarcasm.
Maybe I'm the one missing your sarcasm. If so, well played.
T2 set the standard for sci-fi. Still the greatest sequel of all time, IMO.
...Simpson would not make a convincing killer.
Well, in the third one it only looked like a woman. ;)
