I'll admit to not following a lot of that conversation. I'm not a big media freak.
I have been generally disgruntled by how most female scientists in movies are young, nubile, have great posture (how many female academics over the age of 35 have you seen with decent posture?) are a romantic interest of the hero, and noticably bright.
I mean, I understand that it should be hollywood... but how about some glamorous older female scientists? (I know more really cool female professors in their forties and fifties...) Or a lovely, but non make up wearing and down and the heels PhD candidate? A quirky-funky retro styled post doc?
