So I finally got around to reading Jessica Chastain’s piece about women in Film that set people abuzz earlier in the week.  I immediately added it to my read later pile but that pile grows faster than I can make it shrink.  I have a problem.  It should come as a surprise to no one that the piece somehow managed to surprise some people that it turns out maybe women have things just the tiniest bit harder than men.  Shocking.  Well, I will admit, some things are shocking, like she said this is the largest female crew she has ever been apart of in her current movie and that crew is 20% female.  20%.  Now, I don’t want to go into a long thing about the hypocrisy of Hollywood liberalism when it comes to the treatment of women and minorities because I kind of assume no one would read it and if you are really interested you can send me a message, I will just say it is important and I feel like Jessica Chastain has been talking about this forever.  When her star suddenly rocketed upwards a few years ago she was coy about her age.  Not because it’s improper for a lady to discuss that but because she was open about if she states her age it limits the film roles she can get.  Which isn’t at all inaccurate, she has long been my dream pick for Captain Marvel.  Every single person I tell that to immediately tells me she is too old.  Sometimes just that.  Sometimes, “oh, she’s be great but she’s too old”.  She is more than a decade younger than some of the men currently playing Marvel Superheroes.  But she’s too old.  I didn’t really start with a point, I just kind of rambled but I think I have arrived at one.  This costs us all.  The inequity in the movie industry hurts us because it limits voices.  Who knows all we might be missing but we’re missing this, we’re missing possible roles for Jessica Chastain because women are kept in a much smaller box.  We should all be upset about that because she is a supremely talented actor.  She is my favorite actor and I will see her in anything but man I would love to see her in something I have wanted to see since I was a kid.  So we lose out on things like that.  It’s a crime.  The world needs more Jessica Chastain, not less.  Because she is ridiculously talented and smart.  And yeah, she’s beautiful and I do have to end this at some point so today I want to fuck Jessica Chastain.
