GITS reader Aleks emailed me about the 14 Day challenge noting that I had not included any scripts written by a woman. And that rather surprised me because I had made a point of doing precisely that with Version 1.0 (Thelma & Louise written by Callie Khourie) and Version 2.0 (When Harry Met Sally written by Nora Ephron, and Big co-written by Anne Spielberg). But in my attempts to read through peoples' suggestions and pull together a balanced slate, evidently my male chauvinist pig gene shown through.
So Aleks and I began a back-and-forth on the subject. One thing I decided was to include a bonus 15th script on Monday, a recent quirky comedy written by a woman. The other thing I figured would be fitting was to give the entire week over to Aleks' list of movies, each written or co-written by a woman.
There were some other good suggestions for possible weekly themes, so I'll probably pick up on those next week.
Thanks for your ideas! Always open to any of your ideas for Daily Dialogue themes.
