What can you do?
I thought the film was poor. But I agree with your point. There are lots of people who still haven't read Harry Potter because they consider themselves above reading children's books. I suppose they are more attached to the idea of reading rather than reading itself. i.e. Ego. Re: the female lead bit, well, I couldn't care less as long as she's not a victim like Hardy's Tess. I like my woman strong (but soft)!
