Aliens has her beat by a few decades.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Yeah, and Aliens is actually GOOD.

Came here to say this. Why do people forget about Ellen Ripley?!?

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 7 points 5 days ago

It's strange, because Ripley is like the #1 "I don't hate women in movies, just bad writing" excuse

What about Underworld ?

[–] KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fuck guys, I forgot about this. I'm going to write a strongly worded tweet to Jennifer because I bet she forgot she was wrong too!

Be sure to include some kind of passive-aggressive "joke" about how everyone in Hollywood who's left of Harvey Weinstein is stupid.

This feels more like she was obviously exaggerating for dramatic effect versus outright lying. In a conversation, I think most would understand that she meant not very much and she was talking about the young adult genre in general.

Mary Pickford "dude wut" Also Pearl White in the perils of Pauline 1914 there's probably earlier but early film and fire etc

Renny Harlin directed some good action packed movies in the 90s. Die Hard 2 (1990), Cliffhanger (1993), Cutthroat Island (1995), The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), Deep Blue Sea (1999). Geena Davis and Renny were married in the mid 90s but he cheated on her with some movie assistant and they broke up. They did 2 movies together. The other one was Cutthroat Island where Geena did her own stunts.
