As for the years old discussion about what to draw from the data, I am surprised it's so low, and would be very curious to know how my percentage would stack up to the total percentage of movies directed by women. As for if I would seek to see movies directed by women, my tastes are not swayed by the gender of the director consciously, as I assume most peoples aren't, because generally, I don't know who the director of a movie is before seeing it. There are occasions where I will seek to see every movie by a specific director if I find that they do good work, but it'll generally start with me seeing one movie, then finding out who the director is afterward. I would imagine that female directors tend to impart attributes in their movies that appeal to women, and would consequently appeal less to me which might skew my percentage to less than average numbers. To provide an example, I'm sure I'm stereotyping right now, I just tried to think of a movie that I wasn't sure who the director was, but thought that it was obviously geared toward women and might also have been directed by a woman "Riding in Cars with Boys" (it's the first thing that came to my head)--and wouldn't you know? It was directed by Penny Marshall. Let's see if I can do it again. "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" director: Callie Khouri. I'm sure if they came out with two stand out movies in a row that I love, I'd be sure to check out other stuff by them, but judging by the ones I've seen, there's not many female directors out there that put out my kind of stuff consistently, except for the Wachowski's--I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.
