"We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead."--Jeff Robinov, Warner Bros. president of production. Mr. Robinov somehow feels Jody Foster (The Brave One) and Nicole Kidman (The Invasion) are to blame for the lackluster monetary performance of the films.

Ooo! I just found this gem in a January 13, 2004 Time Warner press release: "Robinov is known for having a strong grasp on the taste and pulse of the moviegoing audience, for his team-building management style, his extraordinary work ethic, and for his outstanding relationships with both established and emerging filmmakers and actors. During his tenure as a Warner Bros. Pictures executive, he has overseen such major productions as the Matrix trilogy, "Swordfish" and "Cats & Dogs," and supervised his department's production of such recent and upcoming films as "The Last Samurai," "Starsky & Hutch," "Troy," the Harry Potter series, "Catwoman," "Constantine" and "Ocean's Twelve."" Italics, mine. Notice anything fishy about his "strong grasp on the taste and pulse of the moviegoing audience"? Like the fact that everything but the HP series and the 1st Matrix movie was an absolute bomb?
I'm going to write Warner Bros and then boycott all their shitty, shitty shit they call films.

Oh my holy crap. Yes, please do write them, and I would love to see what you say.
I do have to remind you, though, that women are not as important or as interesting as men, so it may be an uphill battle.
I'm going to go throw up now.
