Big budget movies need international appeal. Hollywood is no longer making movies for just the U.S., but the entire world.

just watched aliens II the other night. great flick.

another female centered flick i just saw was aeon flux. pretty good.

maybe if hollyweird would $hitcan meryl streep and her ilk, they would make more money. (you would have to knock me out, strap me down, and super-glue my eyelids open to watch anything with meryl streep).

And tv shows and commercials.

I guess she has a problem with not a Bareback Mountain movie grossing over 100mil for its opening. Stupid Manhola.

This whiney female isn’t interested in that, she wants a huge budget blockbuster with a female lead.

She goes on and on about no women, but leaves out a currently released movie that has been out for 5 weeks, and is clearly female centered. It cost $37 Mil to produce and has grossed nearly $60 Mil in 5 weeks. Not blockbuster, but hardly a failure by any stretch.

And with the 2 primary characters being female, one being a female child.. its hard to argue that this film is not a femal led film.

“Nim’s Island.” Of course this would not meet the narative whining requirement she wants, so it will be ignored.

There are pleanty of women led movies out, year after year, no they aren’t all blockbusters, and no, the public generally doesn’t buy women playing the action star.. which I think is more of her gripe than anything.
