Chan Marshall/Cat Power cameos in the film if ya didn’t know.

To each her/his own, but I think the above post is completely harmless, inoffensive and was the antithesis of sexist. The word “sexist” as used above should not ring anyone’s PC alarms, and it definitely was not meant to be patronizing. A guy has the right to say that he finds it kinda cool when girls (not all, but enough to do media studies and inspire articles) dig a certain movie more than men and thus surprise the “boy’s club” of Hollywood by making it a w-of-m success. Girls have different needs and tastes, or so Jane Mag used to inform. Thanks for commenting though.

The fact is that women made Across the Universe an unlikely hit, just like women made Titanic a hit, the biggest hit of all time. And if Blueberry Nights becomes a sleeper, it will be thanks to female audiences. Lost in Translation was the same type of deal. There’s no shame in that at all. Again, I think it’s cool. Guys will make Rambo a hit next Saturday, it’s just how it is. No stereotypes needed.

If anything, I am trying to avoid posts that come off as “boy’s club” even though I’m a guy and I’m not going to lie. For instance, most film sites post a bikini shot of Jessica Alba and then make a requisite sexual remark about her whenever she’s in the “news.” /Film didn’t do that before I got here, and I’m not starting it now.

My girlfriend won’t have to drag me to My Blueberry Nights, but if she did, I’d be cool with it. My point was that films don’t try to appeal to women enough. If it’s a boy’s club, it’s not by choice.
