Jeff Robinov, the president of production at Warner Brothers studios, doesn’t think women are worth a dime.
“We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead” Robinov was quoted as saying this week, using two recent less-than-stellar female driven films (The Brave One, staring Jodie Foster, and The Invasion, starring Nicole Kidman) as evidence for his claims.
What. The. F*ck? Um, what year is this???
Robinov is just convinced the reason neither film did well with audiences is because a woman was in the lead.
Apparently, the options of bad writing, convoluted plots, and poorly conceived advertising are not viable, and the only way to make sure a movie of his never bombs again is to make sure the leads are always sans boobs and vagina.
Movies with male leads bomb all the time, but Robinov doesn’t care about that obvious fact, nor does he seem to remember the fantastic success of Mean Girls, The Devil Wears Prada, Erin Brockovich, or anything helmed by the Olsen Twins.
Do women often headline films by themselves? No. But it’s not because they don’t have the same drawing power as men, it’s because chauvinists like Robinov are given the ability to “no longer do movies” in which the star is a female.
Men have controlled Hollywood for decades, and every time a guy utters something as disgusting as Robinov’s words and is not challenged, the male hold only increases.
If a movie is rotten, it really doesn’t matter who’s in the lead.
Nobody could have saved I Know Who Killed Me—and that’s a fact.

Actually, women are not the problem out of Hollyweird. The glass ceiling is due to the liberal elite and the Ole Boy Club at Tinseltown is. The talent pool in the entertainment biz is like a stagnant gene pool. The sesspool we celebrate in Hollyweird is controlled by a few powerful click groups. Ever wonder how one half of one percent of America’s population control the entertainment business? Conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and others are discriminated against by the Jewish liberal far left. Watch the credits in movies and on television. A women who is talented is overlooked in the entertainment industry unless she has the casting couch option or is a token non Hebrew. The majority of Jewish actors change thier names to downplay the bias domination within the industry. Over three hundred million Americans and yet the Jewish connection dominates over eighty percent of the industry? I have dated many Jewish American Princesses ( JAP )
and they know from the writers and producers to the script boys, its a shoe in if your name ends in Berg, Stien ect. Many non club members are closet conservatives and only appear after they have well established themselves. Sam Goldwyn is famed to say to a non Jew ” You’ll NEVER work in Hollywood again”. I’ll continue to date JAPS and enjoy thier wit and humor. However, the odds are against you if you are not in the click.

Mark, it bothers me that you are posting an argumentative statement but you didn’t take the time to check your spelling. How can we take you seriously if you don’t know the difference between a “click” and a “clique?” I’m sorry, but I don’t know what a “sesspool” is, although I do know what a cesspool is.

That first comment had some truth to it. (I’ve lived in Hollywood for a while now.) However, it was a total non-sequitor. Anyways, about Robinov and his new policy. WTF are we going to do about this guy? This story needs more publicity than it’s gotten already. If it hasn’t been on the news yet it should be. On a another note; what baffles me is how we got to where “feminist” is a bad word. That’s like using “abolitionist” as an insult.
