Really? I think Liz and Jenna have plenty of conversations that aren't about men. They talk about their moms and their past friendship adventures and the show and whatnot. Even Liz and Cerie can pass it, I think.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.
'The Killer In Me'
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Miss Marple show I'm watching on Masterpiece does!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That's because Miss Marple is da bomb!

The Office definitely doesn't.

Unless the documentarian is a woman.
Well, I suppose there's still no conversation, per se, there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hannah Montana passes the Bechdel test even though it's a dopey show. So did Zoe 101 (on Nick).
The Tween shows often have that covered: Sonny with a Chance; Wizards of Waverly Place, True Jackson (black girl works at a fashion mag etc.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not even the party committee?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the very fact that we can have this conversation and say "Oh yeah...there was that ONE SCENE IN THAT TWO HOUR MOVIE that qualifies!" about movie after movie after movie demonstrates pretty effectively how rare it is.

Very true. I'm just noting that the tween market is well served in this regard. If Sex and the City movie does as well (or better) than the first I wonder if Prexies will wake up to this market.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
SATC is probably the poster child for passing Bechdel not having to mean anything deep for womankind. But there is a fair chance I'm prejudging the movies too harshly based on the few episodes of the show I've seen.
