Re: Sexism in Hollywood?

First, what about the film industry, generally, and filmmaking specifically, would make it something more males are interested in? What about it makes the female less interested? What about science makes it more attractive to men? What about modeling makes it more attractive to women? These are wor...

Re: Sexism in Hollywood?

Otherwise, we would get ridiculous conclusions like "76% of players in the NBA being black means the league is racist and exclusionary towards whites!" How many guys versus girls go to film school, for instance? It's about 80% male. If you think there is some evil sexism going on, and not...

From now on I will always read Shogun's posts with hammer in hand and clown shoes on, so as to fully grasp his perspective. I imagine it will spare me much brain-ache.

Re: Sexism in Hollywood?

a) Apparently something like 83% of directors in Hollywood are male. So? How many aspiring directors are male, and how many are female? And which female directors are being unfairly shut out? According to your warped logic, it's racism against whites that 76% of NBA players are black, while they on...

Re: Rango

I'm not a socialist, and I wouldn't have said anything if Johnny Depp were making, say, 500k a year. That would allow him to buy a good home, have health care for his family and kids, and pretty much whatever he wanted. Frankly all an actor does is go in front of a camera and pretend for a few hour...

Re: Do you try to watch bad movies?

It's easy, sometimes watch a movie just because it has hot girls. Usually films with young hot girls are pretty dire but the girls are hot girls, and everyone likes looking at hot girls (even other hot girls) and sometimes there will even be nudity so it's rarely a total loss. This way you can pad y...
