There’s a severe lack of films with female protagonists. It’s a simple and upsetting fact that needs to be changed. Recently, Disney and LucasFilm have been taking massive steps with “The Force Awakens” showcasing the talents of lead actress Daisy Ridley and “Rogue One” set to star Felicity Jones. And it seems like another group of filmmakers have joined the charge.
Toni-Marie Gallardo and Andrea Lee Christensen of YouTube channel Supertramp Co. launched a new web series called “Full Movie Here,” which takes famous movies starring men and places women in the leading roles. But that’s not all. Each entry will not only change the gender of the protagonist, but will also wipe the slate clean, changing the story, characters and genre as well — partly because the writers haven’t seen them.
Rather than taking a jab at the films they’re basing the episodes off of, “Full Movie Here” plans to, per their Indiegogo page in efforts to fund future episodes, “create a platform where we can put women at the forefront in interesting and unexpected ways.” For their first episode, the two made “There Will Be Blood,” a film about a vampire that finds out the party she’s at is BYOB — bring your own blood — and not a spread of necks. Gallardo served as the director and Christensen served as the writer on “Full Movie Here’s” comedic take on the Paul Thomas Anderson film. Check out the episode below.
For their next entries, FMH plans to put out “The Wolf of Wall Street” as “a campy horror film about a sexually frustrated werewolf” and “Finding Nemo” as a film “about the struggles of growing up in a Kardashian-like family.”

this is stupid and pointless.
Jason Perry
There are plenty of movies with women as the protagonist
It's just they're all romance/musical movies because those are the only genres women love
Alexander Reyes
Don't these people have jobs and shit?
How can they afford to live?
Lucas Howard
>We're gonna take someones work and shit all over it.
Mason Martinez
>We're changing all the actors >And the story and characters >The only thing we're keeping is the title
So they're just making shitty movies that they hope will get publicity and coverage based on a stupid stunt?
Eli Morris
>Toni-Marie Gallardo and Andrea Lee Christensen of YouTube channel Supertramp Co. they have 50 subscribers this is making them sound like well established producers
Anthony Hughes
Hopefully they can't and will die.
Adam Ramirez
I second this
Levi Allen
>bring your own blood mind numbing
Jack Bailey
this is patriarchy thinking that women only love comedies and romance. They also like suspense.
Ryder James
GET IT!
It'S LIE BRING YUOR OWN BOOZE!
Bentley Sanchez
Isn't this similar to what they do in Me, Earl and the Dying Girl?
Aaron Murphy
It wasn't that bad.
The article makes it seem like they're gender swapping the movies but they just used the title.
Camden Hughes
>For their first episode, the two made “There Will Be Blood,” a film about a vampire Thankfully there are also women out there who would call these idiots out.
Noah Campbell
or there will be booze.... zzzzzz level shit
Matthew Rogers
Literally Asylum tier without the ability to watch with people while drinking etc
Anthony Lopez
This is why women aren't respected.

No idea how to mix a track.
Kayden Lopez

Ayden Ward

Grayson Miller
TL;DR
Julian Sanchez
Full Movie Here is an AWFUL name for something on the internet because it just sounds like a fake movie downloading website
Jack Walker

What's the fucking point then? Just give them original titles then.
William Peterson
>take one of the best films of the last 20 years >remake it as a shitty attempt at comedy using a dated as fuck premise >le vampires have vampires parties xd Yeah this will change the perception on women as artists and comedians
Grayson Jones
'There Will be Blood' could actually be a much better title for a story about a teenage girl coming of age. I'm not irritated that these retards are worse at coming up with ideas for stupid remakes of great movies than I am, and I hate the concept to the core.
Joshua Wright
>Rather than taking a jab at the films they’re basing the episodes off o >basing the episodes >“There Will Be Blood,” a film about a vampire that finds out the party she’s at is BYOB — bring your own blood
So in other words it has nothing to do with the original movie not even as a spoof, other than the title.
>“The Wolf of Wall Street” as “a campy horror film about a sexually frustrated werewolf” and “Finding Nemo” as a film “about the struggles of growing up in a Kardashian-like family.”
So it's like bad Youtube original movies, but you should watch it because
> severe lack of films with female protagonists
Muh misogyny.
Women want affirmative action so bad.
Michael Baker
>create movie plots based on titles This is almost exactly like those threads on Sup Forums when the captcha had just begun and it was actual words. Except then it was actually funny
Camden Morales
Haven't these chicks done a few movies?
Tyler Long
So... they are just re using the title? Click Bait title for a stupid idea.
Dominic Walker
i forgot TWBB was about vampires
Bentley Martin
This is fucking disgusting. On so many levels.
William Morales

Gabriel Diaz
Next one should be "No Country For Old Men". It's about a group of wacky zany brave women who play country music, but they refuse to play for old, evil and racist white men. NO COUNTRY FOR THEM GET IT XDDD
Studio giants Disney has turned its attention to a graphic novel series led by a character described as a 'female Indiana Jones.'
The source material - named Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant - follows the titular protagonist as she treads the globe performing high-octane actions such as battling pirates and traveling around on her flying boat.
Deadline reports that the first book in the series will be adapted into a 19th century-set live action film beginning with a prison escape in Turkey.
The film will introduce Delilah's 'mild-mannered' sidekick, Selim as well as Delilah herself who is a swashbuckling sword expert trained in 27 differing techniques; we're sure Disney will tone down the violence for a family-friendly audience.

I'll bet you 5000 us dollaroos there's a period blood joke in it
Jace Baker
hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahhah
Wyatt Taylor
Are you really allowed to make commentary about the modern film industry if you haven't seen There Will Be Blood?
Robert Peterson
This.
This is like changing Weird Science to being a movie about two girls throwing a bitching party because you didn't know it's literally about that and not strange science shit.
Also if The Thinn was all female, the movie would be either a short film or a ten hr long mini-series.
Eli Roberts
So those chicks haven't seen there will be blood? Goddamn what fucking plebs
Jason Phillips
>There’s a severe lack of films with female protagonists.
Only if you are just talking about blockbusters. There are tons in lower budget movies with women. Here are just a handful of great ones from the past couple years.

They're always pulling this 1984 shit where they claim in the past there was no this and that but now, thanks to the tireless work of social justice warriors, "massive steps" are being taken, and movies/comic books/video games are at last "growing up." But remember: there's still a lot of work to be done. There always is.
Jose Perry
Pushing the media influence could be interesting. Like her absent parents lead her to only see the world as corporate America has framed it. And it shouldn't be super scathing, it could be presented as admittedly more comfortable since you don't have to think too much or try hard and still have a decent, expected life.
But there could be some sudden awakening to the word being otherwise. Where it goes from there, I dunno, but I always like the Tragedy of Relapse probably because its so plausible and, by painting such a bleak yet truthful portrait of human nature, almost seems destined to happen.
Kind of like the very ending of End of Evangelion where it butters you up and then at the very last moment pulls the rug under you, prompting you to think "oh, right. that's how it would go."
Jayden Hall
Is this an attempt at viral?
Asher Murphy
what aboyt the blunt in sicario ?
Cooper Lee
So they're just making original short films and then attaching the name of an existing film to it?
Robert Jenkins
They hole up in flophouses with 10 other gamejournos, indie "devs" and failed actors.
James Martin

This whole this is pointless and makes me hate women more than I already do as a respectable platypus.

Xavier Russell
As someone who is a feminist and has read a good amount of feminist philosophy / gender theory- this is fucking stupid and does absolutely nothing to advance the cause of feminism or undermine patriarchal power structures. How does the protagonist's lived experience as a woman inform the narrative? What statement is the film making about gender roles, objectification of the female body, or any other significant topic in feminist discourse?
>Each entry will not only change the gender of the protagonist, but will also wipe the slate clean, changing the story, characters and genre as well — partly because the writers haven’t seen them
Avoiding a film like "There Will Be Blood" is borderline unforgivable if you are interested in film. It's the best thing hollywood's made in like 20 years IMO. This is just embarassing- please don't let this type of bullshit sway your notions about feminism or turn you into a misogynist. Fuck this bullshit. It's not what feminism should be about.
Yeah, this can compare to the original and it's totally not a cash-grab.
Carson Lee
THIS IS NOW A PTA THREAD:
Inherent Vice was great, one of his best works for sure. I've never understood the hate.
Cameron James
As a huge fan of Pynchon and PTA, IV was a huge letdown personally. The soundtrack is amazing though.
Nicholas King
Didn't see Inherent Vice yet but TWBB is truly a excellent movie. It easily made its way on my (more or less subjective) Top 32.
Any other great movie about "Ambition" to recommand ?
Isaac Clark
>showcasing the talents of lead actress Daisy Ridley what in the fuck are these people talking about
she's a terrible actress. get a fucking grip.
Luis Nelson
The Wolf Of Wall Street
Jaxson Cooper
Yes. But i meant like, aside of Scorsesse's and maybe Tarantino's flick..
Angel Wright
My mom loves sci-fi and fantasy more than anything, closely followed by any sort of action. She fucking loves shit like Olympus Has Fallen and Mad Max, etc, and just flat out hates musicals.
So I'm not so sure, although she really likes romance comedies as well, she just doesn't like them as much as the other genres.
Kayden Moore
meeks cutoff blueballed me so hard. What a stupid ending.
Angel Bailey
>As someone who is a feminist and has read a good amount of feminist philosophy / gender theory
When I was growing up people actually tried to make their bait not obvious
Gabriel Nelson
Nailed it.
What purpose does it even serve to fucking name their shit after the originals?
Also I am fucking sick of shallow depth of field in ugly short films. It's like they heard it's good but don't understand why. It looks repugnant.
Jayden Bailey
Yep.
The deserve to be ignored and then killed when everyone forgets about them.
Gabriel Foster
my first thought.
also, uh, even the asylum has to alter the titles of their films a lot of the time. Are they trusting these media companies won't sue because then they'd cry misogyny on twitter? Cause this shit isn't fair use. It's actually just violating copyrights for money.
Colton Williams
idiots exist everywhere and on every side of every issue.
Aiden Lopez
Not bait- just prefacing my statement so as not to be taken for an MRA or bigoted Sup Forumstard. Did you even read the rest of my post? Do you read, in general?
>When I was growing up
I'm probably older than you, big guy.
Samuel Carter
Self-respecting women should be offended by this shit
Thomas Howard
while I assume this is bait, I don't think these nobodies trying for a cash grab is really even a blip on the radar for serious feminists when their whole online presence is dominated by radical regressive socialists.
Even serious intersectional feminists would be more upset about that than a few childish people trying to scam people.
Caleb Moore
are these people just doing this to piss me off at this point?
there will be blood is a legendary piece of work you fucking cunts
Lincoln Davis
is the joke that There Will Be Blood actually speaks very heavily to the strengths and weaknesses of masculinity as a viable source of identity but they're too stupid to realize it?
Henry Cox
You're really trying, and I'm not sure if it's commendable or not.
Tyler White
>I state that I am a feminist >Everyone assumes my post is bait
Regarding your comment about "radical regressive socialists"- historically, feminist thought has always been influenced by Marxist thought. Within Marx's materialist conception of history, class struggle can be traced to the nuclear family- with the husband as the oppressing class and the wife as the oppressed class. Engels, who co-developed Marxism with Marx, wrote "The Origin of the Family..." which is an important work of first wave feminism. I don't think "serious feminists" would be upset by a socialist bent in feminism because it has always been an important part of feminism.
Obviously the people making these videos are virtually a non-entity but stuff like this is commonplace now and cumulatively it tarnishes the reputation of feminism in the public eye. It does more harm than good, in my opinion.
Cool.
Wyatt Ross
>take copyrighted title >use said title in your own original production
sure, it's not like there are laws or anything concerning this.
Also the combination of the title and "full movie here" makes this look like an ad you see on a porn site. They sure played the "journalist" who wrote the article like a fucking fiddle though
Robert Williams
It's a clickbait technique. So anyone who googles "there will be blood full movie" will find their shitty irrelevant movie instead.

Yep. Fuck all these con artists who hide behind feminism as a shield to defend their shitty art and egos and to make a quick buck. Thanks for making women look like a complete joke. I hope it was worth it, Anita/Ghostbusters/Etc.
Zachary Richardson
they're supported by their parents/husbands
Landon Miller

Ian Perry
Is the 'female protagonist' thing actually the angle that the film makers are taking, or is it that they're just parody performers who happen to be female and the article is spinning it as feminism for clickbait?
Jaxson Foster
