Her final line is still about her appearance “I want him to remember me as I was”. She’s pretty much only valued for her looks, is a jerk otherwise but that’s overlooked because beautiful. As a teenager I was absolutely enthralled but looking back Kim has pretty lackluster writing. “I’ve got a mind for business and a bod for sin.” Yeah, no. Note- this is just as creepy as it sounds. Pretty enough to be desirable, but not interested in men. I do think the Honor Blackman pilot in Goldfinger is probably the worst offender. It’s hard to make something believable when there is no reality a woman would have her character’s dialogue to begin with. I am a bit biased as I don’t like her acting at all, but especially Midnight in Paris the dialogue is so bad for her character that it’s hard to blame her for the role. Rachel McAdams in both Sherlock Holmes and in Midnight in Paris is honestly just hard to watch.

Has to be one of my least favorite tropes.įor those that don’t know “born sexy yesterday” is a trope where a fully mature woman is created, seems to have incredible skill/power/intelligence, but lacks knowledge of the world. There‘s a hilarious skit on Youtube about the writing of those characters #12Īll the “born sexy yesterday” women. While not among the worst, it’s pretty obvious with Anne Hathaway‘s and Jessica Chastain‘s characters in Interstellar. The TV series Yellowstone is the worst writings pertaining to women.

I can’t remember the exact quote but it was roughly: ![]() She says the line every 40+ year old man with a pony tail and samurai sword wants to hear. ![]() There’s a great scene where our middle aged, bleach blond haired MMA fighter hero is talking to a young woman (who later falls in love with him because what hot woman doesn’t love wrinkles). I don’t believe there are many women out there who didn’t watch that and think “Those things are like $25 each!” Nobody spends hundreds of dollars on pregnancy tests in a single sitting. The scene where they’re grabbing multiple pregnancy tests, omg. Very real male perspective on display for a film mostly about a woman going through an unexpected pregnancy. Judd Apatow himself has come out and said the female leads in Knocked Up weren’t great. Because “mom” is exactly as far as the character goes. No one under-writes a female role like Christopher Nolan! The woman in Tenet is a real standout, they’re explaining what they’re up against and say “if this happens all of existence will be undone” and her response is “including my son!”.
