I don't think a lot of people would disagree with her point. Just her seeming tendency to put herself at the centre of whatever issue she's complaining about.
Oh woe is me, I had to put on uncomfortable blue makeup and get paid millions of dollars for it

Whenever that comes up, people do always quote Ripley in Aliens and forget they saddled her with a Daughter to mum rather than just let her get on with kicking arse (I know thats the emotional anchor of the final third of the movie but, still, arnie would have just bust them up with no incentive) But Arnie had a daughter in Commando. If it wasn't for Bennett, he would have spent his days feeding deer with her.

Oh Lawrence is insufferable, and has managed to make an actual issue seem more trivial, because she's so desperate to frame everything as revolving around her.

If you step back and read what you just wrote, I hope you see how psychotic takes like that are. You get to see like 30 seconds of 'the real her' on press tours and the rest is made up and filtered by the Industrial Celebrity Complex.
Its just like how the elderly now hate Meghan Markle for being a person who lives on earth.

Anyway, I think we were talking about Russian diplomats and gender neutral toilets.

JLaw always comes across well imo. She's direct and generally doesn't give a shit about what other people think. She may be a bit self-involved but show me a Hollywood Sleb that isn't? Especially the blokes.

Yeah I dunno, obviously it's just the interview snippets anyone has to go on, so it's hard to judge someone on that alone.
But I have to get my pitchfork out for something, damnit. Maybe if I just reserved it for celebrities that are rude to retail and hospitality workers? I think that's grounds enough to judge someone.

The thing is right, you never see a woman on World's Strongest Man do you?
And they wonder why we don't take them seriously

Hollywood actor lacks self-awareness, I'm shocked.
Reminds me I need to watch Winter's Bone again - great film.

She might not mention the classics like Alien, Terminator, etc. And the no so classics like Resident Evil and Underworld. But in a way she is right. These days there is not the effort put into the ones which have came out. Even Hunger Games. They just took a semi popular decent book, and made it boring as hell. Possibly an issue with Hollywood in general, and not just female driven movies, but feels especially true for them.

She always seemed ok to me, not that I follow what celebs are up to at all.
The problem is that people always* exaggerate when they speak, which tends to get amplified when cut down into twitter length quotes, which then always* leads to a massive pile on of people focusing on the exception or minor inaccuracy, rather than the spirit of what was said.
Clearly she's factually wrong, but she's still basically right. Things are changing now (though even then, look how long it took Marvel to have a female led movie), but back in the 80s and 90s it was pretty much accepted wisdom that boys wouldn't be interested in anything with a female lead. Not only for movies, but for pretty much everything, including things like toys. Ripley and Sarah Connor are kinda the exceptions that prove the rule.
Hunger Games was probably one of the first massive action(ish) movies to have a female lead, at least aimed at younger generations.
Though I'd argue that it's Buffy that had the massive generational impact and kickstarted the trend.
Go back 10 years and it was impossible* to find games with female protagonists, and now you can't move for the things!
*exaggerations. probably.

Beyond Good an Evil. Speaking of, where the hell is the sequel?
If something is good, people will likely watch it or play it regardless of what gender the poster character is.

Jokes aside the only non sexy protagonist I can think of was Beyond Good and Evil which was amazing. (Oh! And that really good point and click adventure... with the two worlds. Lost something?) So that is 2. And Metroid, which is 3, but that hardly counts as you didn't see her. Definitely not 4 though. Apart from Eternal Darkness So more than I thought as I started typing. But they were very few and far between and utterly buried under shit like Prince of Persia 2 (or 3?) That started with a sexy thong armoured whore striding across a boat. Edit. Cristar beat me to it.

There’s obviously still a huge issue with sexism in Hollywood. Ok things are marginally better, but having a tiny minority of lead roles almost exclusively for young beautiful sexualised white women is hardly problem solved.
