Retitling "Little Women" So Men Will Go See It

posted by Jason Kottke   Jan 14, 2020

The audience for Greta Gerwig's Little Women is running about 2/3 women and 1/3 men. Bruce Handy has some suggestions for a title change that would entice more men to check the movie out.

"Star Wars, Episode X: The Rise of Amy"
"Four Girls, One Teacup"
"Into the Marchverse"
"The Jo Supremacy"

I saw Little Women on New Year's Day and loved it — one of my favorite 2019 movies for sure. It's idiotic that Gerwig didn't get nominated for a Best Director Oscar.

David Ehrlich's top 25 films of 2013

posted by Jason Kottke   Dec 04, 2013

In a masterfully edited video, David Ehrlich presents his 25 favorite films of 2013.

Fantastic. This video makes me want to stop what I'm doing and watch movies for a week. It's a good year for it apparently...both Tyler Cowen and Bruce Handy argue that 2013 is an exceptional year for movies. I'm still fond of 1999... (via @brillhart)
