    Good Old Fashioned Sexism At Work

    Thanks for covering this documentary, I've been hearing great things about it and it's good to know that it's not all hype. I hope it manages to get a fair-sized-doc run in theaters.

    I do, however, have to point out that your blurb for it is incredibly, and typically, sexist. Produced by Terrence Malick and Robert Redford, "The Unforeseen" is the "Chinatown" of Texas real-estate documentaries.

    Yeah, seventeen words and you can't spare one for the director? (who is famous herself, but nevermind that part.) No, no, what about THE MEN that made this baby???!!
