I watched the first few episodes of Saving Grace recently. It's ostensibly about an angel sent to help reform a female cop on the edge of oblivion, but mostly it's an aging Holly Hunter's personal project wherein she gets to be naked at every possible opportunity so she can show off the results of her 3-hour-a-day workout regimen.
But, on top of the fact that the show just isn't that good, I'm totally exacerbated with the ridiculous idea that a 5'4", 100lb woman can sucker punch and knock out a 6'0" 200lb man with her bare fist. It's not going to happen. Ever. Go ahead, guys, find your nearest and dearest small, female friend and let her hit you as hard as she can.
So, Hollywood, please. Just knock it off with the Holly Hunters and Keira Knightley's of the world. At least put a roll of pennies in their hand or something so I can at least attempt to suspend my disbelief!
