The Mo Movie Measure
Here’s an exercise. Think about the last couple of films you’ve seen and apply to them the Mo Movie Measure:
I quote:
What’s the Mo Movie Measure, you ask? It’s an idea from an old Dykes to Watch Out For cartoon. The character “Mo” explains that she only watches movies in which
1) there are at least two female characters with names, who
2) talk to each other sometime in the course of the movie, about
3) something other than a man.
It’s amazing how few movies can pass the Mo Movie Measure.
Really, looking at my current front page I only see two-three films that pass all three criteria.
