If You're Gonna Write About It...

If you're going to write about something you have to at least know what the heck it is. If you don't know what you're talking about all you're going to do is piss people off.

In my short script analysis class, we read scripts then give the author feed back. We recently read one about a woman who's goal it was to sleep with a man from every state in the country. If done properly you could actually have an interesting story.

Sort of a female Barney from How I Met Your Mother

Problem was it wasn't done properly. The lead character was a dumbass. She says several times throughout the script that she is doing so in order to write a book about it or to get on television. She's sort of like a slightly more charismatic (and less orange) version of Snooki.

Somewhere in between these two pictures.

If she wants to get on television sex is the way to go. The part that's annoying is that the chick is trying to pass it off as some big political statement about how women should be able to act like douchey men. It's very clear that the chick doesn't know shit about what she's talking about. She sort of ends up looking and sounding like this.

But you know about Feminism

The scripts author kept trying to say that she was supposed to be a bookworm studious type. There was a lot of biting of tongues from the woman in the class. One of the guys in the class said that he didn't sense that the script was trying to be feminist. Well that's because it  wasn't. I think it was actually one of the more sexist stories I've ever read.

Sort of like if the creator of this poster

wrote this movie.
