Oh yes. And Golden Girls.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
The Wire did sometimes, given how few women were in it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Wire had the advantage of lesbians.

SATC is probably the poster child for passing Bechdel not having to mean anything deep for womankind.
Cougar Town also.

IOmovieN, I'm watching TVLand's showing of The Fugitive right now--I'd forgotten that a young(er) Jane Lynch is in it!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think it passes, but just barely.

Hey. New board.
Glee passes with decent regularity, though not in every episode. To be fair, I don't think it passes the Reverse Bechdel test (replace the word "women" with "men") in every episode either. Lots of boy/girl and large-group conversations in that show. I guess it passes reverse Bechdel every time the Maharashi yells at Schue, but passes normal Bechdel every time Sue mocks Emma for mental illness, Quinn serves as some sort of weird magical angel to keep people from making the same mistakes she did, or Rachel has a showdown with another glee club girl about a solo or something.
I assume The L Word passes. The West Wing passes quite often: CJ had discussions with her secretary with fair regularity, not always about the President. Gossip Girl certainly passes. As does the Gilmore Girls, pretty obviously. And Veronica Mars.
Ella Enchanted passes, thanks to Ella's little friend.
Other favorite movies, let's see. Pan's Labyrinth passes. The Devil Wears Prada passes. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants definitely passes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
the Reverse Bechdel test
Is this like "reverse racism"? As in, do we need a "Reverse Bechdel test" to point out ALL THE MOVIES that have 2 men talking about something other than a woman?
Because I think that's just called "movies."
