Monday fun post

Here's something to geek out on. Hannah Anderson and Matt Daniels counted the number of lines in about 2000 movie screenplays by gender and age. You can check it out here. Even if you're not a data geek, I think you'll enjoy this one.

    It's interesting how having a female lead doesn't necessarily correlate with female characters having the most lines in a film.

  2. Is it just me, or is it surprising how many films there are where 100% of the dialogue is male?

    1. I saw that too but thought it might all be older films.
