NSFW or small children around. Avoid watching while drinking liquids.

"The Season 3 premiere of Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer” was full of methodically precise sketches that tackled hot button cultural issues. Perhaps most memorable of the bunch: “Last F**kable Day,” the star-studded sketch featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey and Patricia Arquette that shames the media for its perpetuation of industry sexism. While on a jog, Schumer stumbles upon the gang having a picnic in the forest and quickly learns that they’ve convened to celebrate Louis-Dreyfus’ “last fuckable day.” That is, the day the media decides you are no longer “believably fuckable.”

3. And of course, being f**kable is the only criterion for assessing women's worth.

Until they become over 60 -- then they may have some creds as a sassy crone or addled grandmother. Meanwhile, men the same age will still be offered dashing gentlemen roles.

4. Like Tommy Lee Jones.

Guy looks like beef jerky, but he's still getting work. I was watching MiB a couple of months ago and was like, geeze whatever happened to that actress? She was gorgeous and funny. I had to google her to even remember her name (which is Linda Fiorentino.) *Her* last film credit on IMDB is 2009. She was born in 1958. Will Smith and Tommy Lee are still making movies though.

Since cable only seems to show movies from the '90's, I'm seeing all kinds of funny and awesome women who disappeared.

5. Yup. n/t
