"Do you think the average viewer really considers it more dramatic to see one of the heroes portrayed merely as a "damsel in distress", stumbling around incoherently without a game plan?"

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

They drive me crazy to the point that I talk to the television, which is why I'm not allowed to watch it with 'civilized' people anymore (at least, that's what my sister says). It's also one of the reasons that I don't have TV service anymore.

After years and years of this kind of crap, I've just decided that producers and directors are ignorant idiots.

Why does the woman being chased by a car keep running down the middle of the street? Why doesn't she veer off and climb over a few fences?

Why does the woman in the negligee always decide to investigate some weird sound in the old house in the middle of the night?

Why do the women always kneel and crawl and beg for mercy when they would be better off stomping the guy in the knee, kicking him in his sensitive parts, then stomping on his throat and running off?

Why do the women always want a full explanation of what is going on when someone says "RUN!"?

Why is it when a woman has small children in a house full of monsters finally figures it out that there ARE monsters, and her first thought is to pack a suitcase?

My favorite (facetiously speaking) movie was 'Savage Harvest', starring Tom Skerritt (go figure), where less than 30 minutes into the movie, you wanted all the adults and all the children to be killed and eaten by the lions, and for the lions to lay in the sun with full bellies and blissful smiles on their muzzles.

GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!
