The Inevitable Bond Rant
Nov. 26th, 2012 12:55 pmSo, Skyfall.
Again, I have been seeing a lot of people bitch about Skyfall and misogyny. And yes, it is a Bond movie, so to a large extent women are Going To Be There and Going To Be Disposable, and they will stand out because we will pay attention to them and their names and their story and not to the Also Disposable men; so while there is always going to be misogyny there, it's largely a part of the Bond universe pretty much slaughtering everybody in the area.
But there are places where I'm not sure I actually saw the same movie as other people, because there's a lot of the bitching I kinda disagree with.
( Spoilers, as per usual )
