So conceited - if they want success they should come up with an interesting idea instead of rehashing charlies angels which has been done and was DOA over a decade ago.

big yikes at this

Its almost as if participation trophies create adults incapable of envisioning failure and even more incapable of dealing with it when it happens.

Anyone with half a brain would realize female led films need sex appeal. BRB casting dyke-y looking twig as your lead and two generic ethnics who look like they'd get beat up by a 5 year old.

Bet it would've made bank with Gal Gadot, Zoe Saldana and Ana De Armas.

One of the John Wick guys made Atomic Blonde, a dope action movie starring Charlize Theron. It made money.

As in, bombed hard. The movie, which stars Kristen Stewart and two other actresses you’ve never heard of, raked in a paltry $8.6 million on opening weekend in North America (including Thursday), even less than the modest $12-15 million it was expected to pull.



Yep, according to this, Banks blamed men’s unwillingness to go see action movies that star women in their lead roles for her movie’s embarrassing flop.

“Look, people have to buy tickets to this movie, too. This movie has to make money,” she said. “If this movie doesn’t make money, it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.”

“They’ll go and see a comic book movie with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel because that’s a male genre,” Banks told the Sun. “So even though those are movies about women, they put them in the context of feeding the larger comic book world, so it’s all about, yes, you’re watching a Wonder Woman movie but we’re setting up three other characters or we’re setting up ‘Justice League.’”



“By the way, I’m happy for those characters to have box office success,” Banks added. “But we need more women’s voices supported with money because that’s the power. The power is in the money.”

I was watching Reservoir Dogs the other day and wondered if that film could even be made today. All straight white males pretty much. The woke media/hollywood would be bitching and moaning like crazy if Tarantino tried to use that same cast today lol.

The only type of movie you can pull off casting only straight white males is a film like Dunkirk because historically no minorities fought on the german or british sides. And even THEN some “people” or media outlets complained about it, lol.

Women make up half the population. They can support movies like this without needing a dime from men. Why do men to **** for not going to see it?
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

It's not like they remade an old movie with an all male cast and replaced it with women only like ghost busters and then used this excuse.
Women...

Not only that, but that movie was based on the TV show which was wildly successful...and also had an all female cast. It's basically the show that made Farrah Fawcett's career and how she became a sex symbol of the 70s.

Yeah it makes no sense. Gal Gadot (actress who plays wonder women for those unaware) should 100% be asked about this:
“How do you feel about Elizabeth Banks comments regarding Wonder Women not being a real female lead action movie?”

I’m surprised how Elizabeth Banks dumb comments havn’t been roasted more in the media (or maybe I just havn’t payed attention?)

I dont see lots of movies for many reasons.

I had no interest in seeing her movie because the other charlies angels movies i saw did nothing for me.

I also had no interest in seeing the oceans 8 movie or the lady ghostbusters movie mainly because they were not original ideas. now i will likely watch the next ghostbusters movie because it has some original cast in it and it was something I enjoyed in my childhood

I didnt watch the newest terminator movie because any of them i saw after T2 sucked.

i will see the next top gun movie because it looks fkin awesome and tom cruise makes movies that i like

i will see the 3rd bad boys movie at some point because i liked the first 2 and i enjoy when martin Lawrence and the fresh prince are together

the last comic book type movie i watched was the bat man that had george clooney in it. just not my thing




a movie either looks good or it doesnt. i dont care what gender, race, sexual orientation the cast is. come up with an original idea or an intredasting concept and maybe people will care. you cant replace a brad pitt with a mindy kaling or a bill murray with a melissa mccarthy and expect to make a gagillion dollars at the box office
