Lolita's Fist

🍒 Bechdel-passer (with five words), and the lead is a woman (brains, character, ethics, wit, but she doesn't get her guy, she gets another different sporty non-news guy that we never get to 'read') and the men do battle over one of them being stupid but pretty and the other being brilliant, and funny, but 'ugly'. But seriously, MIND-blowing dialogue, by the same guy that did As Good As it Gets (1997) . Oooh! IMDB Broadcast News (1987) Actors: William Hurt, Albert Brooks Director: James L. Brooks

🍒 About to watch it again, I reckon for the 15th or so time. I have done a mini survey and have discovered to my horror that most people would never consider watching a movie more than three times. Am I a rat with its paw on a lever? Are there other rats out there?? IMDB Addicted to Love (1997) Actors: Meg Ryan, Matthew Broderick Director: Griffin Dunne

*eyeroll* - all the clichés - lesbian has to die; all you need is a good f*ck; weak if he takes control; a man with no job is better than a woman with any prospects; she ends up with the man. *yawn* from a DH Lawrence story, I should have known.
