Alison Bechdel has a blog which has the original 1985 comic strip the Mo's Movie Measure originates from. Here's the LINK to the blog and the strip.

I only came across this Rule at Hathor a year or so ago, but the meaning of it didn't sink in until I really started thinking about why certain movies appeal to Mermaid and myself more than others.

Here's Mo Movie Measure:

1. There must be at least two women in the movie
2. They must talk to each other
3. Their dialogue subject must not be men.

Sounds pretty simple and there should be lots of quality movies out there that satisfy such a simple requirement, eh?

See if your favorite films have a scene (just one!) between two women and pass this 'test'.
