Did I miss something?? Where did you get Atlantis? That's why they were building the pyramids? That was mentioned? Because I missed ALL of that.
I just want to state that I am incredibly cranky (lack of sleep? hormones?) and this is exacerbating my normal annoyance levels. My tolerance for bullshit is very limited.
Thanks for more examples of strong women in film! Still, despite a few examples, you have to admit that it is much harder to find these examples than it is to see strong men in movies. I think that Joss Whedon writes some of the best strong women out there! While he has a cult following, I think it is this very strength of his that keeps him out of the mainstream. Hm, maybe mainstream isn't the best word, but he's not the force he could be were he to capitulate to generic characters and themes. I LOVED "Serenity" for its portrayal of strong women, without the standard American expense of strong men.
And, I agree that 300 is completely flawed. Yup. Totally.
