WHUT?
No, seriously, WHUT?
The gist: Warner Bros. exec, the Esteemed Robinov, said that the company would no longer produce movies with female leads. Citing a few recent movies with female leads that happened to bomb.
Cause, yanno, movies bombing. 'S never happened before. Movies bombing with male leads? Nope, never. It's the wimmins fault, yanno.
Hay, guess wat, WB?
The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions? Troy? Alexander? Superman Returns? The innumerable, unnameable, unmentionable punch-drunk comedies?
And, guess wat, guess wat! It's not just yoos guys!
Gigli? Original Sin? Unleashed? Unbreakable? The Village? The Planet of the Apes remake? Rollerball? The War of the Worlds remake? Hostel 1 and 2?
Nor are terrible movies a recent invention! Sorry, WB, ya don't own the patent on that one!
Waterworld? This Island Earth? Xanadu? Plan 9 From Outer Space and everything else by ol' Ed Wood? Howard the Duck? Caveman?
And let's not forget that yoos guys have produced blockbusters with strong female characters before!
Remember White Oleander? North Country? No? Anyone?
Okay.
Now. Anyone taken statistics? I haven't. You don't need to have to notice the trend going on here.
The problem? Logic.
"Dur, three movies with females leads dun badly. Must be cause...cause dere are dem, dem wimmins in dem leadin' roles, an' stuff!"
When there is evidence of WB-produced movies that have failed, evidence of recent non-WB movies that have failed, evidence of OLD movies that have failed, and evidence of SUCCESSFUL movies with FEMALE leads.
Philosophy 101. This claim is not only invalid, it is also inductive.
Therefore this claim is illogical.
Therefore this claim is made of PHAIL. EPIC PHAIL.
Which means that the Esteemed Robinov and his cronies and, well, the entire company, is made of EPIC FAIL.
So, thank you, your Esteemed Sir, for proving your own idiocy. I hereby boycott all future movies produced by you or your company in the future. You have alienated your entire female audience. Congratulations.
We do not need you. You do not represent us. You do not speak for us. May a thousand talented women strip off their high heels and stab you with them, then string you up with their own nylons, so they can walk home in comfortable flats and not ever have to worry about runs again.
