Where’s the objectification? Is it in the room with us now?
Are you referring to what she’s wearing? You do realize she chose to wear that, right? She’s a grown up, the patriarchy doesn’t choose her outfits for her.
Weinstein’s influence in Hollywood during the time this image was taken, very high, check
I’d say it’s not that much of a stretch, even if this film is highly appraised by critics/fans. The fame and fortune wasn’t, and remains as, not a painless thing.
check out outfits from the 90’s, this was daring, for a sci-fi action film star especially.
Was Weinstein involved in that film? I’ll admit I don’t know much about directors and films in general. If he was involved with the Alien franchise, then point taken.
But unless you’re suggesting that she didn’t choose her own outfit, I don’t see how what she’s wearing has anything to do with patriarchy. I thought women wearing revealing clothing was supposed to be a feminist statement?
Sigourney emanating that “Remember, this bullshit pays the bills” glare.
Winona managed to catch on soon enough.
Bullshit like the objectification inherent in being an actress? (Serious question)
And not only in a paying the bills sort of way. An actor that was never in a bad movie isn’t taking enough creative risks.
I was just wondering which specific bullshit they were talking about. The event, the profession, or any number of other things.

Not referring to that. The industry does bad things to women. I figured that was common knowledge. Actresses are treated as objects by employers.
I just wasn’t sure what the connection to this post was
Hollywood actresses, check
Revealing (for the time) outfit, check
