this is fucking sexist 2bh
>Maggie Gyllenhaal at 37, being told she was too old to play a 55-year-old's girlfriend, is just the latest shocking example.
>1. You are cast as the mother of people barely younger (and sometimes older) than you.
>2. Sexually, you often become invisible, a cougar, or a joke.
>3. You might also turn into a witch.
>4. Men in film get older; their girlfriends stay the same age.
>5. Almost everything that is actually produced in Hollywood is written by men.
6. There are fewer roles for women overall.

It's the Sexism and Ageism
maggies just ugly and unwatchable
>>68873120
HAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
women shouldn't even be cast in movies desu
>>68873120
Because nobody wants to pay money to see some nasty old bitch.
If you just want to post Antje, just do it.
But Maggie Gyllenhaal is legitimately horrifying to look at
Maggy is horrible, this is not an issue of sex. Also, another series of examples of problems women can EASILY fix but aren't doing anything about. Even black people said "We should just make movies we want to see" and then they did it. Step up, bitches.
Seems fair
>>68873151
This.
Her weird face was kind of appealing in an odd way when she was young, but these days she looks like she's melting.
>>68873201
Like Hollywood should adopt an old kabuki style of casting and have men play all of the parts? That's not even an awful idea.
>>68873217

That webm gets me ROCKHARD
>a multi-billion dollar industry based entirely on how people look is being accused of labeling people and not employing them based on how they look

the problem is not Hollywood. Its the people who pay to see these things.
>women have short shelf lives and their only competition is themselves and based off looks and sexual favors because none of them put any effort into any sort of actual talents
WELP

Excuse me, 53 year old Ming-Na Wen passing by.
I don't understand. They make movies with attractive people. An unattractive male can only at best hope to play the mentor or sidekick. Now I understand there aren't nearly as many roles for women in movies, but this is because of suspension of disbelief.
No one will ever accept women in sidekick roles, mentor roles or main villain roles. DESU the evil woman sidekick is a common role and even that I always find stupid.

JUST A TASTE
People dont go to movies to watch old ugly people.
>7 ways
>list goes to 6
great post /pol/
>>68873349
This. The problem is the people on this board, for example. Vapid, vain, useful idiot trash worshiping celebrities and actively having discussions about how people look and where their hairline is. The "sexism" and "ageism" is due to the fact that consumers are mentally retarded sheep who literally worship celebrities.
>>68873120
Just how interesting are films where the only set locations are a kitchen, a laundry and in an SUV picking the kids up from school?
Boring as fuck/10
>>68873645
LOL
awm,io;
>>68873645
If you want ugly people all over your film and tv you should exclusively watch British dramas, you'll love the air of pseudo intellectualism in it as well.
Was Maggie Gyllenhaal ever fuckable?
>>68873748
If you had a spare bag or two
How is Vanessa Redgrave still getting work? Must be cause of talent or something
The woman from Back to the Future 3, a film made in 1989, was still hot in 2008, playing Will Ferrel's mom.
So, what's the story here? I should want to fuck ugly women because they're young? Or want to fuck hot women regardless of age? Where's the part where I'm not the bad guy?
>>68873748

Secretary
mmmm so sexy i want to fuck she
>>68873731
I just don't care how attractive people are unless I'm fucking them because I have a functioning brain. I'm not a brain dead sheep that belongs in the trash who considers a photo of a CELEB GOD eating their lunch to be "breaking news." You are among the worst types of people in our civilization.
>>68873864
iirc they are making Xena a lesbian in the reboot, and Antje is too good and pure to portray a disgusting sexual deviant
>>68873530
hot damn
WAHH WAHH! WHY AREN'T I A SEX SYMBOL ANYMORE? WHY DON'T THE HIRE ME TO BE ROUGH AND TUMBLE YOUNG STARSHIP CAPTAINS? STEWART IS BARELY YOUNGER THAN ME!

This. Women want movies where all the plot is is them fucking Chad and buying earrings, so let them write it
>>68873901

MUH WEENUS PENUS
>>68873827
Where you go against your core male instinct of seeking out what you find beautiful, and fucking the ugly one.
Yeah, well it turns out that only needing one attribute for your entire youth to get ahead really backfires when that one attribute fades as you get older. Seems like actresses like Cait Blanchett and Meryl Streep do pretty well for themselves as they age (both have been cast as witches though, so I guess they have a point) so it's the shittiest ones who coasted by on looks who get weeded out.
>>68873120
>6. There are fewer roles for women overall.
type "movies 2015" into Google and take a look at which have male leads and which have female leads. The results may shock you because you are dead fucking wrong.
>>68873645
>>68873120
It's not hard to understand.
Take someone with a huge mole on their face.
They could literally be the best actor in the universe, or the smartest person in the world.
But no matter what you will only see the mole, especially on imax.
Old haggard women who look like fucking darth Palpatine aren't going to have an easy time in a visual medium.
>>68873902
Am I?
Wow thanks for that Doctor Octor PhD in Anthropology
You're a real smart guy

>1. You are cast as the mother of people barely younger (and sometimes older) than you.
>and sometimes older
name one time that has happened
>>68874180
If you read the article:
>Rachel Griffiths, who played Johnny Depp’s mother in the film Blow, is actually five years younger than the actor.
>>68873120
>5. Almost everything that is actually produced in Hollywood is written by men.
how is this a bleak way hollywood shafts actresses
and why is this 7 ways, when it's just one: they don't get decent roles
maybe if they had acting ability they wouldn't get shafted so hard
>>68874097
>Enrico Iglesias

She's Australian
At 26 Australian women's skin morphs into leather from getting beard from their drug addict surfing unemployed husbands
>>68874269
what a fucking bullshit example, she had scenes when he was a kid and they aged her up for later in the movie
they could have just recast her for the other scenes
>>68874269
it's probably all that emu DNA in her
>>68873430
What the fuck?
But wasn't Mulder like 30 when he started the X Files? So that'd make her thirty-something?
That cannot be.
Also yeah Hollywood is full of shit, but what can be done? Seriously, I don't see how we could fix shit.
She just aged like milk, Eva Green is her same age and still looks like a goddess. someone post that pic of her sipping coffee, can find it on the web.
>>68873120
>2. Sexually, you often become invisible, a cougar, or a joke.

>>68874637
Most women age like shit. There are a few exceptions, and black women don't tend to age badly but that's just because they start out looking like garbage so there isn't much of a contrast.
It's the tradeoff of being a woman really, you burn bright and fast. Have the world handed to you in your youth and become useless as you age.
Network television is a safe harbor for women in their 30-40s. Just book a job as a comedian's wife in a family sitcom or as a detective/lawyer and you're all set. It has been that way for decades.

This lady has to be sucking the life force out of babies or something. Even her neck and hands look young and that's usually the age giveaway.

I finally watched it last week and thought it was so much better than what the reviews and /tv/ had led me to believe. It's no masterpiece, but it's not a piece of shit either.
