Back when I read that Hollywood actively discourages film scripts from passing the Bechdel test, I was pretty pissed off.

Today, we watched "Maleficent". It was wonderful. Angelina Jolie (with the help of a great script) almost made me cry a couple of times. Go see it. Also, the movie is Bechdel heaven: Most of the screen time involves women (who often talk to each other, not about men). So see it in the theater, and let your money talk about whether audiences can deal with watching women interact.

Because fuck the patriarchy.
