This Is Informative, You Should Watch It of the Day: Feminist Frequency takes a look at how a significant number of blockbuster films we know and love are incapable of passing Dykes to Watch Out For’s Alison Bechdel’s “Bechdel Test,” which requires a film to fulfill all three of the following requirements: #1. The film has to have at least two women in it; #2. Who talk to each other; #3. About something besides a man.

Pretty eye-opening stuff.

So apparently, the way to insure you make a good, or at least decent, film is to make sure it fails the Bechdel Test. Good to know.
