I haven't seen it yet - does the new ST movie pass?

Here's a list of movies with Bechdel ratings: http://bechdel.nullium.net/ including the following films which I have seen which apparently pass:

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
Alien (1979)
Labyrinth (1986)
Aliens (1986)
Thelma and Louise (1991)

Actually, it was a Star Trek bechdel post that inspired this community!

[purpletigron]

LOL! So it squeaks through ... hopefully, I will see it today!

[foxfirefey]

So very barely, though. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil you!

PS: When you go and watch it, look out for the Mo Movie Measure. I wasn't thinking about it at the time, so I didn't think to watch out for names.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End? If I Recall Correctly, Tia Dalma and Elizabeth only share four sentences of conversation, and two of those sentences are about Jack. Does that really make it pass?

[purpletigron]

These aren't my ratings, they are from the Web site to which I link.

But those 'other' two sentences count as a technical pass.

[trouble]

Oi, I'm much harder on movies than they are. I want a whole conversation! :)

[foxfirefey]

I agree! Or, at the very least, several back and forths on something!

[foxfirefey]

I think I'm going to tag everything that doesn't meet that measure under "technical pass", hehehe.

Me too! I feel a little squicky passing movies when the characters who cause the pass are in no way central to the story (like in the new Star Trek movie). Maybe we should add a mega-pass level for movies like Persepolis!

[foxfirefey]

I'm half tempted to put on Persepolis and count all the conversations passing the Bechdel Test.

ETA: Except I still think it's at your place from when we watched it, ha!
