This Twitter account is ripping the way women are introduced in film scripts

Film producer Ross Putman has noticed some cringeworthy commonalities in the way women are introduced in the scripts that cross his desk. Namely, that these women are all described as being hot, and the description usually includes what they are (or aren’t) wearing. To shine a light on this unfortunate trend, he started @femscriptintros. The Twitter account launched a little under a day ago and already has more 19,000 followers. Here are a few highlights.

Again, these are real scripts, and only the characters’ names have been changed. It’s simultaneously hilarious and really, really sad.
