I can dig it too, but there have been so many movies about "strong female
characters" lately that that's not much of a selling point for me any
more.  As one who grew up with the _Star Wars_ trilogy and basked in the
sight of Princess Leia barking orders at the Rebels -- no mere damsel in
distress, she -- I would like to think we've made it to the point where
"strong female characters" aren't particularly remarkable or unusual.
