If you can name one movie made in the last 10 years, whose central character was a strong women not backed by sex appeal and the movie had skyrocketing ticket sales, I'll concede to your point.Originally Posted by charliepanayi
I don't think it's as cut and dried as all that, and my point was that having a strong female character in centre stage who doesn't get her kit off doesn't mean your film will flop.I believe you may have missed his point. Our culture, as a whole, has moved towards the idea that sex, above almost all else, sells. Despite whether or not you think this is wrong, the sad fact is that the less clothes a woman has on throughout the movie, the more tickets are sold.Yeah, because the Alien films and The Terminator/Terminator 2 were both such big box office flops

I'm not saying it isn't atrocious, cause it is and it annoys the piss out of me. But regardless of what I think, as a culture, people want eye candy above depth.
