Amy Poehler recently posted this YouTube video to her blog: Smart Girls. "In the reality within a disaster film, I suppose we’re meant to assume that these women are born as smooth as a hairless cat with doll-like feet that make wearing high heels both stylish and comfortable," Poehler insists as she claims credibility for writing the little skit, as seen at the end of this post.
I can't help but to agree with her myself; considering that most mass-marketed disaster films are geared towards a male majority... and female characters seemingly left as sobbing, braless heaps in the face of extreme peril. Imagine, for a moment, that you had to run from your home as zombies were closing in. What would be the first thing you'd grab? Family mementos? Tampons? A power tool from your dad's stash in the garage? Hey, maybe you could use those steely high heels as a weapon, after all. Remember, ladies, aim for the brain...
