In my native language, that is, Kazakh, third-person pronouns are gender-less.
"It said it would come tomorrow" means "He/She/It said he/she/it would come tomorrow" and it somehow works :) You're to infer the gender from context.

I haven't been to a movie theater in more that 10 years now. Almost every trailer I see looks spectacularly boring. I am not exactly demanding audience either. I just want movies to be (1) fun (2) interesting (3) exciting. The recent-ish movies I saw (not in a theater) that would satisfy the given criteria are It: Chapter 1, Upgrade and Arrival. Hollywood can make extraordinary stuff if it wants, but currently it's tied up with modern day "westerns"(?) aka superhero movies. Aren't people tired of "evil vs good + explosions + unfunny one-liners" formula? What about stories like "I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison or "Blindsight" by Peter Watts? Wouldn't they look insane on the big screen?
