Netflix says No No to calling rom-com movies ChickFlicks
Netflix says No No to calling rom-com movies ChickFlicks What do you think of Netflix telling everyone to stop calling romantic comedies or movies with a female lead actors , "Chick Flicks"? Runaway Bride, ....Princess Bride, ... When Harry Met Sally,....You Got Mail...A Star Is Born ... Crazy Rich Asians, ..... If Beal Street Could Talk,....Wonder Woman ? .....Girls Trip,.....Beauty and Beast.... Out of Africa,..... Bridges of Madison County.....[For some examples]. NetFlix said," The term also cheapens the work that goes into making these types of films. And nicknaming films “chick flicks” drives home that there’s something trivial about watching them. But what’s trivial about watching a film that makes you feel 1,000 emotions in ~90 minutes?" "Cheapen", "Trivial"?! No it doesn't.... Nick naming certain films "Chick Flicks" drives home something women want to lose themselves emotionally in, watching these movies. Then the article says, ""Relegating these stories to “chick flicks” and “chick literature” is just another way for the patriarchy to make us feel apologetic about finding happiness."" Okay, first, women, by biology, are many times more emotional than men [before he gets old and loses most of his testosterone]. Are there exceptions? Yes... but very few. Second, is this suppose to be some kind of swipe on the "Big bad patriarchy" -broody face boo hoo? Like , getting women all riled up, again, but this time instead of politics, the launch target is , "Entertainment" now? My view on that? They have no right to tell me, you, if the film isn't about chickens, don't call them chick flicks ever again.. That's almost like the Networks [TV]/media trying to make us accept Transgenders as really people who have changed their gender. ....LOL.. are you kidding me?! |

I don't have Netflix ... but I've seen every pic on that mini list of yours. I wouldn't label all of them 'chick flicks'. Certainly not - Bridges.... Regardless of what or how, people or Netflix want to label them... it won't prevent me or encourage me to watch them. I'm more apt to go on Imdb, or rotten tomatoes and get a review.. before I invest a few minutes of my life in a flick. Labels? Heck... I barely pause, for the ones painted with the word "STOP", on them. Interesting first post! Party on! 👍 ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

My view on that? They have no right to tell me, you... They can say whatever they like. Fortunately they have no power to enforce it, except on their own website. Even many women call them chick flicks. A chick flick by any other name. .... is still a chick flick. Following my advice may cause injury, insanity, financial loss, hemorrhoids, death and superpowers
