Two of the other actresses of the film are the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and the grand-daughter of Elvis.  :lol:  :elvis:

You guys are losing sight of the problem here! Quit looking at all those boobies and start gnashing your teeth that you're not seeing more glistening, muscular male chests! Your place in the world order demands it! :contract:

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today

Big sweaty men! Big noisy guns! Dozens of people getting beaten and slaughtered–per scene! Entire cities razed to the ground! Liberal wimps beware as simple handguns become judge, jury and executioner!

And the only repercussion is that the Stupid Chief takes your badge and gun for the weekend...

Get the book.

The worst part is they make us think we are going to see glistening macho man chests and trick us into showing up to see the movie and it is nothing but boobies.

I think it's pretty well known that girls are bad at Latin.  You guys stop giving Meri shit about it FFS.

Livia was always mis-conjugating the Subjunctive. It is what really killed Augustus.

Speaking of which, does the last GoT episode's conversation between Sansa and Myranda pass the Bechdel test?

Edit: and also, could someone explain to me that in order for a scene to pass the Bechdel test, the characters must not talk about men during the entire scene or that they may talk about various topics, one of these at least must be not men-related.

I think the test is based on the whole film - so obviously two female characters can talk about a man, but it can't be that all their interactions involve talking about them. Sex and the City would basically be a fail in every minute...:D

No, I realise that. But is the scene "tainted" if it involves a conversation about a man even if they also talk about different things in that scene? :P

Does it count if they are talking about a subject involving men? Like if they are comparing the economic policies of Frederick the Great with Louis XIV? Platonism vs. Aristotelianism?

Sexist. They should be talking about Hypatia vs. Sapho to qualify.

That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying.

Oops I called Frederick an Emperor. Maria Theresa is going to haunt me now.
