Oy, with the Hollywood people
Oct. 9th, 2007 03:44 pmEff you Warner Brothers.
Eff you.
The WB is obviously denying that one of their highest executives uttered such inflammatory nonsense.
What he *ahem* allegedly, said was:
Other bloggers have been talking about it.
The WB issued this denial three days after the fact and with a little nagging to actually get a statement.
A few Hollywood flops and 50% of Hollywood actors are now going to be marginalized with offers a whole lot less lucrative than they should be and pushed aside to be nothing more than a face and with the more risque movies T&A.
So because the box-office "failures" discussed - The Invasion and The Brave One - both has female leads, both actresses that played leads before: Nicole Kidman has played the lead roles in "Moulin Rouge!" and "The Interpreter", Jodie Foster has played the lead roles in "Silence of the Lambs" and "Contact".
Let me tell what causes movie flops: Bad writing, bad directing, bad editing and at the end of it, bad acting. Those two women, specifically, are not bad actors.
But the movies they acted it happened to fail.
I wonder what would have happened if "300" had taken a nose-dive?
Just goes to show that the WB obviously considered women actors to be nothing but an accessory, since I doubt any one from that company would issue a statement informing their consumers (that would be you and I) that men will no longer be considered to play leading roles in their movies.
What. Utter. Bull-Shit.
In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.
וכמו כן, צריך לעצור את רצח העם בדרפור.
Eff you.
