TIL that there's at least correlation between:

- When sawing women in half was all the rage amongst magicians 🪄
- Women's Suffrage in the US 😬

The always excellent Bechdel Cast with guest Kayla, a magic performer, about the film "The Prestige"

#PhantastikPrompts 10.1.2026:
Hat Deine Erfahrung mit dem eigenen Schreiben die Art wie Du fremde Bücher liest, verändert?

Aber sowas von. Ich suche verzweifelt Bücher, die mich außerhalb des klassischen Storyschemas erstaunen und zugleich meinen Anspruch (min. #Bechdeltest) an moderne Figuren befrieden. Jedesmal erraten zu können, was als nächstes passiert nervt. "Ich wette nun passiert dies oder das, weil das wäre am dramatischsten/wir sind im letzten Drittel des Buches, etc." Kennt ihr das?

Today we bring you an ep on #IndigenousFuturisms, #optimism in First Nations #storytelling, & 🧡#Ochrepunk🧡 with special guest, Matthew Ngamurarri Heffernan 🖤💛❤️

Matt is a Luritja man, software #developer, creative #technologist, #playwright, #poet, and #cybernetics PhD student 💻✍️🎭 He’s a developer at #Indigemoji & creator of sci-fi play #TheRobotDog 🤖🐕

Press play for a yarn about Matt’s work on the #JeddaTest (inspired by the #BechdelTest, focused on Indigenous rep), his play, and #Solarpunk ☀️

I believe The Lord of the Rings film trilogy technically passes the Bechdel test.

The only conversation between 2 female characters is when the little girl asks Éowyn, "where is momma?" and Éowyn calms her.

That's it. The only conversation between 2 female characters in just under 12 hours of film.

1/2 Very much enjoying the Bechdel Cast LIVE on the topic of the Star Wars prequels.

Here is EVERY TIME WOMEN INTERACT in the Star Wars prequels (it’s 2.5 minutes long)

Live podcast recording, CW, includes Obi Wan + Darth Maul erotic fan fiction 😆

And here, dear reader, is Marcia Lucas, George Lucas’s ex-wife, describing her reaction to The Phantom Menace (I learned of this from the podcast):


❝George is, in his heart and soul, a good guy and a talented filmmaker. I wish he would’ve kept directing [other kinds of] movies. But when I went to see Episode I — I had a friend who worked at ILM, who took me as a guest to a preview — I cried. I cried because I didn’t think it was very good. And I thought he had such a rich vein to mine, a rich palette to tell stories with. He had all those characters. I thought it was weird that the story was about this little boy who looked like he was six years old, but then later on he’s supposed to get with this princess who looked like she was twenty years old. There were things I didn’t like about the casting, and things I didn’t like about the story…it was a lot of eye candy.

❞

#StarWars #bechdelTest

Hey our feature tonight passed the #BechdelTest too - The scene at the airport check in counter was two women talking and it wasn't about a man.

All in all a pretty good feature tonight.

#monsterdon

We need something like an inverse #bechdeltest for mobile phones being invovled in the plot of a #film or #tvseries

Stop it! It’s just lazy screenwriting.

While we’re at it, stop trying to do #computers - you clearly don’t understand them.

Just watched Grease (for the first time, somehow)

Incredibly, this #movie passes the #BechdelTest. Multiple times!

However, I feel like it's mainly because it has a cast of thousands, is about 9 hours long and is alllll over the map, plot-wise

Just by the laws of probabilities two named women would have to end up talking to each other about *something*
