Some of you need to hear this: If Marvel fails, or when Marvel is done with films, movie theaters are not going to suddenly shift into arthouse fare or period dramas or character studies or anything that doesn't have mass market appeal. It's been that way since Jaws.

My latest contribution to @LWLies , a reflection on Hawks and his women. We all love Old Hollywood but we also want it to give us things that it can’t - that’s what I was trying to get at here 👯‍♀️

Who is the Hawksian Woman?

From Hildy Johnson to Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw, Howard Hawks' films are often remembered for their spunky leading ladies – but how should we view them in the present day?
