Interesting that this one seems to be a tough category to find films for. What does that tell you?

7541

You think this hard, did you see one about female band members playing instruments? What did that tell you?

7542

It’s all about our perceptions and memory. In all honesty, unless the movie was ABOUT a female band member, who would have noticed?

It’s like an article I saw yesterday talking about the Harry Potter film series. Over all eight movies — a total of 19 hours and 40 minutes (roughly) of film — Tom Felton (who played Draco Malfoy) had a total of only 31 minutes and 31 seconds of screen time. Dame Maggie Smith (Professor Minerva McGonigall) had even less than that, with only 28 minutes and 45 seconds. And Gary Oldman (who played Sirius Black) — even though he was the titular character of the third film “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” — appeared for only 20 minutes over the entire eight movies!!

But I’m sure if you asked the average viewer, they’d have probably at least doubled those figures.

I’ll just note that I had contributed a movie twice to this thread when the same topic came up within the past month or two, and that I had initially hesitated to do so again because I thought, to myself, “the same topic again?” (That said, I’ll do so again now, to finish up the topic.)
