Glory ,'Potential'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I was thinking in terms of men as romantic/marriage partners, as opposed to men in any capacity.
It does mean in any capacity, otherwise a lot more movies would pass. However a discussion about her parentage might pass where a discussion about her parents might not.
It may seem a bit draconian, but try and count the conversations men have without any reference to women at all in them--there are tons.
As far as shows Dylan watches, SuperWhy and Curious George both fail since the main character is male and in every scene.
There are several female Muppets on Sesame Street: Zoe, Prairie Dawn, Rosita, Grungetta (I have the plush toy). They rarely talk about boys.
But do they ever talk to each other? Like, Grungetta (had forgotten her) pretty much talks to Oscar.

NSM with the Muppet Show, I just realized. Basically Miss Piggy, Janice and Carmilla the chicken. Does talk about men include male frogs?
But do they ever talk to each other?
They do. They frequently pair Zoe and Rosita.
Didn't Sweetums or one of the other big monster muppets turn out to be a girl monster? Am I making that up?
Dang, y'all. Now I'm not gonna be able to watch a movie again ever without running it through the mental Bechdel filter.
My favorite recent TV show that blows away the Bechdel test is Sarah Connor Chronicles.
With movies, it's harder. Especially superhero movies.
Sons of Anarchy, oddly, passes.
