I was watching part of Terminator 1 last week. There was a scene where the main girl and the good guy were chased by the terminator and the girl freaked out way more than she probably needed to. That sort of things happen very often in SF or Horror movies and it irritates me. Most of the time, they do something absolutely stupid like falling down where there is NO obstacle at all, and because of that, some other important characters often get injured or killed. Aghhhhhhh! What is more annoying is that these girls usually get to do something cool towards the end that saves good people. I suppose that that compensates for what she did earlier but isn’t that frustrating. I can’t help feeling that those girls deserved to die when they did something silly. Anybody who feel the same way as me, please raise your hands now.

It’s just too “feminine” in a stereotypical way. Weak, useless, stupid…and the only reason that the girls get away with it, meaning they survive to the end, is because they are pretty females. I think that more people would be annoyed if they used pretty men for those cho meiwaku yaro (-> extremely bothering bastard) roles.
