Childfree Movie Recs?
Ok, so now that Bridget Jones has gone from the excellent Bridget Jones' Diary where a 30 something woman didn't need to follow the script and get married and have babies through marriage in The Edge of Reason and now a baby movie - anyone have any recommendations for movies are more childfree friendly while I go pretend that they never made any sequels to BJD.




The first movie that came to my mind was the recent Ghostbusters movie. It's no cinematic tour de force, but it's def fun. It also includes four women over 30 who don't talk about or moon over babies. "It's not really out to prove that women can be strong or funny or handle powerful weapons. In most movies, such offers of proof are accompanied by reassurances that the women in question are still sexy or maternal or eager to settle down with the right guy — that they fulfill some kind of conventional idea of femininity. Ghostbusters doesn’t bother with any of that..." (AO Scott, NYT)
I was just reading about a 2014 film called Welcome to Me that sounds promising. (Maybe you already know it?) Kristen Wiig chooses interesting projects.
Ghostbusters is such a good stereotype buster! I'll have to check out Welcome to Me
